Burn the Plans

Open the page and feel the grip of the narratives as they deliver twists and turns so powerful you'll need to pause and catch your breath. Two young brothers are tasked with burying the family dog only to uncover terrible family secrets. A courtroom sketch artist who can draw the evil she cannot see, that no one dares believe. Grotesque government experiments, a remote viewer who blurs past and future, a crate that contains ancient evil, and bloodthirsty machines are all part of Tyler Jones's suspenseful imagination. Burn the Plans is a relentless journey into the dark places where we end up when all our plans go awry.

"In his first collection, Burn the Plans, Tyler Jones is an author who has found his voice, and it's a confident, assured one. From the opening story's look at guilt and penance to the closing story's tale of a Christmas gone horribly wrong, Burn the Plans features real characters caught up in unreal situations."

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

"At turns disquieting and surreal, Burn the Plans demands we chase shadows through unlit cities and down painful roads. Jones paints the grim portrait of a shattered-glass world and then throws us inside with no way out. In this collection, everywhere and everyone is a haunted house."

- Hailey Piper, author of The Worm and His Kings

"Reads like something whispered in a bar late at night by a one-eyed man with interesting tattoos and a worrying number of scars...these stories are written with such heart and humanity that you close the book feeling refreshed, confident that horror still has much to offer."

- Esquire

"These stories take you places you had never thought to go, with characters who can kill you, break your heart, or make you fall in love. Fiction doesn't get much better than this."

- Bryan Bower, author of Black Cat Bones

"Original and highly entertaining with storytelling prose that refuses to let go. You're going to have fun with this one."

- Chad Lutzke, author of Of Foster Homes and Flies
