Hey folks! Welcome to the Original Fiction column here at The Fritz Letter.
Last year, I published a short cosmic horror story, The Testimony of Jacob Cohen as a serial here on Substack.
I recently updated the story and released it as an ebook and paperback – and now I’m sharing it here for Substack as a serial for your enjoyment!
I will release one log each week for the next few months, so make sure to subscribe to read along for free!
Introducing The Testimony
The Testimony of Jacob Cohen is a cosmic horror story about an archeologist on an Antarctic expedition who discovers a mysterious ziggurat that hides terrifying secrets from a forgotten past.
It draws inspiration from the narrative style of Dracula, the real-life Endurance expedition led by Ernest Shackleton, and Dionysian cult mysticism, along with modern astronomy, astrobiology, and mycology.
