Tales From 3 AM

By J. Pagaduan

Here you'll find a collection of short stories based on dreams, nightmares, and that indescribable nothing from which we all come and to which all things return. 3 AM is not only the time of dreamers and artists, but it's also the Witching Hour, and those things combine to form the stories found within. At turns fantastical and terrifying, these tales are quiet murmurs that wouldn't rest until they were written.

J. Pagaduan

J. Pagaduan (he/they) is a Filipino-American writer who weaves dreams and nightmares into stories. His influences range from Edgar Allen Poe to Junji Ito, and his works range in scope from series that span decades to flash fiction that somehow feels just as robust, to the occasional poem or essay. When not writing, he can be found cooking, knitting, caring for his little one, and doing his part to make the world a better place than he found it.
