J.D. Vaile

J.D. Vaile writes fiction that explores the invisible architecture of the human mind—how people think, break, endure, and disappear. With a deep interest in psychology and emotional perception, Vaile’s work delves into memory, disconnection, and the quiet moments where everything changes.

Vaile blends surrealism with intimacy, crafting stories where internal landscapes are as vivid as the external ones.

When the Creatures Come is Vaile’s debut novel: a haunting meditation on vanishing, silence, and the fragile ties that bind people to each other—and to themselves.

Vaile lives between cities and time zones, drawn to long walks, fractured narratives, and the enduring mystery of how we survive our own minds.
