Reality and Other Falsehoods
A Collection of Short Stories
Five science fiction/ fantasy short stories from author Justin Bohardt focusing on characters who find the reality of their worlds unraveling before their eyes.
All of us here, dragging ourselves through existence, are held captive by a singular filament: reality. What if that tiny thread were to snap and the universe came crashing down around us? Here are five stories from author Justin Bohardt about those who are caught in flux, shredding holes in the fabric of reality.
Science. Religion. Drugs. Death. Insanity. Five portals into realms of chaos through which our characters must travel as they cling to humor, faith, rage, righteousness and music. All the while, they are immune to the anchor we take for granted every day: the anchor of reality.
"We're destroying ourselves. We have done this! This idea of progress. We've gone to the stars, we've unlimited power sources. we've explained all the mysteries of the universe through physics and mathematics. If we are so smart, why is it all ending?" - Priest Pius.
This compilation is an e-book re-release of Justin Bohardt's first independently published short story collection.

Tales from an Altered Verse
An Anthology of Short Stories
An anthology encompassing the collections Sanguine Starscapes and Reality and Other Falsehoods, here are nine short stories from author Justin Bohardt spanning a range of years (1996-2015), genres (science fiction, horror, and fantasy) and areas (vampires, dystopian futures, drug abuse, insanity, ghosts, religion, and the future). The common thread through all of these stories is the skewed perception of reality. Not everything we see can be explained, and just because we do not see something does not mean that it is not real. Most importantly, the reality of the world around us, which we take for granted, is infinitely fragile. Only the slightest impetus can cause everything to come crashing down around us and unravel the universe as we know it.

Twenty-six Suicides
A Collection of Poetry
Pain. Grief. Sacrifice. Honor. Necessity. Love. Every suicide has its reason. Every suicide has its story.
In this poetry collection, Justin Bohardt explores the reasons and the rationales, the pathos and the suffering, the rituals and the rites, and the necessity and the love that goes into one making a decision to end their own existence.

Solar Tempests
A Collection of Poetry
From attempts to project humanity’s flaws and prejudices into a futuristic landscape to the intricacies and hopeful humor of alien massage parlors, there is still one defining theme in Justin Bohardt's latest collection of poems. Whether it is the colonization of different worlds, death in outer space, the future of those photophobic covenant-breakers, or the nightmares the tear your soul asunder, this exploration contained in these poems is purely ethereal, looking to whatever lies beyond our time, our minds and our lives.

We’re All Gaijin on Mars
A Collection of Poetry
The capturing of nature's essence in seventeen precisely arranged syllables is moved from its classical roots and into the future as the nature of the stars, space exploration, alien contact, and the future of humanity beyond Earth is examined in over one hundred minimalist poems.
We're All Gaijin on Mars is a collection of over one hundred Japanese-style minimalist poems set primarily in science fiction and fantasy settings. This first volume of Justin Bohardt's collected poetry contains works almost exclusively composed in the haiku format, although it also includes senryu, tanka, and haibun, as well as some free verse.

Beyond the Rim
An Anthology of Poetry
This collection of poetry from Justin Bohardt is actually the combination of two separate collections that had previously been released exclusively as E-books under the titles Solar Tempests and We’re All Gaijin on Mars. Although stylistically quite different, the two collections both reflect the same genre of speculative poetry- works in the science-fiction, fantasy and (occasionally) horror categories.
