Author: Joe Mudak

Joe Mudak is a Philadelphia-born American writer whose independently published catalogue spans numerous stand-alone works and collections. Chimes of Passion is credited to him in Rakuten Kobo’s exact book record, which dates its release to May 27, 2013, identifies English as its language, and lists it as a short work. Kobo’s synopsis follows five college students travelling in England who shelter from a thunderstorm inside an apparently abandoned church. That contained setting gives the narrative a single location and a small ensemble rather than the continuing cast of a named series. Mudak’s Goodreads author page places him in Philadelphia and presents a much broader bibliography issued under his name. His author statement credits childhood cartoons, films, and books with shaping a deliberately playful literary persona. Chimes of Passion therefore represents the concise, self-contained side of his output. Readers approaching it through Mudak’s wider catalogue can place the title among his many brief independent publications, where compact premises and unconventional tonal choices carry the story.
