Rift
A horror collection completing the Jeremiah Black trilogy with poetry and short stories.
Rift functions as both a narrative conclusion and a stylistic showcase for Jason Gehlert. The author utilizes the demonic hitman Jeremiah Black to bridge prequel events from Sacrificial Sons with sequel details in Jeremiah Black. Beyond the central plot, the work includes standalone pieces that blur the line between the author's life and his fictional creations.

The structure allows readers to engage with the franchise deeply while also enjoying isolated tales of horror.
Published by Black Bed Sheet Classics in January 2026, this work sits within the contemporary US horror landscape. It continues the specific lineage of Gehlert’s supernatural fiction, connecting to prior titles through shared characters and thematic concerns about the nature of storytelling and fear.
