About the author
Ian Salavon writes sharp, strange fiction for people who never quite fit where they were told to. His stories fuse speculative grit, dark humor, and emotional gut-punches armed with a rusty hammer. He’s been published in Small World City, Phano, and On The Premises, and is the author of Mad Tapestry, a collection for readers who like their fiction bent, bloodied, and smiling.
When he’s not writing, Ian works as a professional chef, coaches judo, obsesses over cartoon violence, and wishes he were a dog: scrappy, loyal, and impossible to tame.
Mad Tapestry: A Collection
No heroes. Just hard truths dressed in strange clothing.
A farm boy discovers a mermaid in the family pond—one who grants wishes with unsettling precision. A vampire cruises the backroads in a luxury RV. A bard finds punk rock through a magical glass and ignites a cultural revolution. In Mad Tapestry, the familiar is only strange once.
This is the bastard child of bedtime stories and broken televisions. A collection of twelve darkly funny, deeply unsettling tales where fairy tales curdle, futures collapse, and magic comes with consequences.
For readers who like their fiction sharp, skewed, and a little bit feral.
