An impossible medieval church, a dreaded hospital appointment, figures reemerging from a past that is buried but not gone. In narratives somewhere between Black Mirror and Ray Bradbury, John-Paul Gomez's characters find themselves at the uneasy junction of reality and otherworldly forces beyond their control. Dystopian what if scenarios are juxtaposed with everyday grievances and relationships that have lost their luster. Things are getting away from us, our collective attention span is waning more and more, and something is going very, very wrong...
Originally from the state of Colorado in the U.S., John-Paul Gomez has resided in Luxembourg since 2007. He lives with his wife and two children. He is the creator of the satirical blog The Luxembourg Wurst.
