Editorial Reviews

"Gripping, visceral, and supremely unpredictable. It's tempting to try to describe the experience of Heavy Oceans as, like, The Langoliers meets Black Tide with a dash of Gabino Iglesias or S.A. Cosby, but the crystal-clear prose and the deft character work are pure Tyler Jones."

-Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings

"Tyler Jones will crush you with the weight of these stories."

-Sadie "Mother Horror" Hartmann, author of 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered

"Tyler Jones' stories are a manifesto for how horror can move, disturb, amuse, and devastate."

-Esquire Magazine on Burn The Plans (one of Esquire's Best Horror Books of 2022)

"...smart, thrilling, deep, rich, and propulsive. Tyler Jones has written one for the ages...one of my favorite reads in years."

--Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box on Midas

"Tyler Jones is an author who has found his voice, and it's a confident, assured one."

-John F.D. Taff, Bram Stoker Award-Nominated author of Little Black Spots and The Fearing

"Tyler Jones writes with the lyrical complexity and haunting tenderness of masters like Matheson and Straub while remaining entirely new and inventive. A true visionary of contemporary horror fiction."

-Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

"Tyler Jones shows us that he is a fierce talent in the horror genre and one not to be missed, with prose as sharp as a scalpel he cuts us wide open and pours salt into our wounds. Jones is unmistakably one of the brightest lights in indie horror right now, read his words and be transformed".

-Ross Jeffery, Bram Stoker Nominated author of Tome, Juniper, and Only The Stains Remain

"It's a rush, man. Opening a book and fixing on that first page, nodding along, digging it, grooving on it. And then, losing myself in it. Carried away by the prose, by the story, by the rhythm of the writing. Feeling that connection. The first time I read Tyler Jones it hit me like that. On all cylinders."

-Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley
