Welcome to the relaunch of Joshuamgerlach.com—a bold new chapter and an immersive space where story, sound, and atmosphere collide.
Reimagined with a sharper vision and a darker edge, the site invites visitors deeper into Joshua M. Gerlach’s creative world, offering a refined look at his writing, music, and evolving body of work. More than a redesign, it’s a statement: a place where ideas take shape, where tone and texture matter, and where the boundaries between art forms begin to blur.
Born in Iowa and raised abroad, primarily in Europe, Joshua’s worldview has been shaped by a blend of cultures, landscapes, and languages. This perspective infuses his writing with both familiarity and the uncanny—where the everyday can tilt slowly into darkness before you even realize it’s arrived.
He draws literary inspiration from the eerie worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, the epic scope of J.R.R. Tolkien, and the immersive soundscapes of Aaron Turner. These influences echo through his work, creating textured stories that linger beyond the final page.
When he’s not writing or composing music, you’ll likely find him immersed in a good book, or passionately supporting Liverpool F.C., his team of choice and a lifelong love.
Joshua hopes that within the lines of his stories, you’ll find something that resonates—something that reminds you that even in the ordinary, there is always something deeper waiting to be discovered.
Glacial announces the arrival of Joshua M. Gerlach with quiet force and lasting impact—a debut that refuses to look away. This evocative collection of poetry and short fiction descends into the depths of the human experience, where beauty and brutality exist side by side, and where silence can be as revealing as confession. Each piece is carved with precision and atmosphere, drawing readers into worlds that feel at once intimate and unsettling.
