Critic reviews

"A truly excellent novella. The prose is perfect, the story beautifully balanced, and the atmosphere is so strong it feels like you could cut it with a knife. Haunting, uncanny, and profound: the strongest and most compelling new voice that I've read in a very long time." (Michael Marshall Smith, author of Only Forward and The Straw Men)

"This book spoke to me on an emotional and spiritual level. I was moved. Haunted. An arresting story from start to finish...such a powerful piece. I'm adding Zach Ayers to my list of fictional characters who live in my soul forever. His story is achingly beautiful." (Sadie Hartmann, Cemetery Dance)

If there's one thing you can depend on with Tyler Jones, it's that he will drop you in a totally believable world full of fully realised characters and then drop kick them into space. This story is no exception full of beautiful prose and descriptions so real that you can feel the snow landing on your face. I listened to this to move onto Turn up the Sun and I'm excited to follow the story for sure.

A quick read that doesn't dissapoint

Be careful how you live your life as it may end in a very bad way all of a sudden! This fantastic novella was so powerful, scary, sad and emotional all at once, but having read Tyler Jones before that’s what I’ve gotten used to expecting and I loved it!

This story is a mix of grief, supernatural horror and speculative fiction with very gritty and raw writing, reflecting the powerful emotions at the base of this story. I was engrossed in the story, also thanks to the narrator James Olivas, and because the situation created by the author was so real.
What always surprises me is how the author can catapult you in a completely different situation without resulting abrupt or completely out of sense!
I highly recommend this novella that’ll give you a flavour of the author’s talent in less than three hours.

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

A powerful novella that will make you rethink about your life!
