In the shadowy corners of indie literature, where existential dread collides with the raw grit of human frailty, Steffen Jack’s novella Rapture stands as a haunting beacon. Spanning just 174 pages, this literary gem blends elements of existential horror, speculative allegory, and literary fiction. It’s far from your typical end-times thriller; instead, it delves into the deeply personal apocalypses we create for ourselves. Drawing from Jack’s eclectic background, growing up in the midst of alternative spiritual practices and cults, and working blue-collar jobs across the U.S., Rapture emerges as an unflinching exploration of addiction, isolation, and the grueling quest for recovery. For readers weary of formulaic horror, this book delivers a visceral punch that lingers long after the final page.
