pfracassi 's review for:

The Dark Side of the Room by Tyler Jones
5.0

This a wonderful novella about loss and the violent horror of losing that which is most precious to us -- our history, our experiences, our loves and losses, the people we knew, and the people we were.

But make no mistake, this is a grisly tale, an ever-so-slow twisting of a knife that you can see working its way deeper into your psyche that have no means of escaping (nor do you want to).

I haven't read Jones's work before, but I will absolutely pick up anything this guy writes. I found the writing, pacing and storytelling to be refreshingly sparse and yet filled with heavy vibrations of meaning, deep booming echoes of emotion.

A triumphant piece of fiction. Recommend this one very highly.
