Turn Up the Sun

Black Voltage

Turn Up the Sun collects 5 novellas by acclaimed author Tyler Jones (Burn the Plans, Almost Ruth, and Midas) into one stunning volume.

Collecting Criterium, Enter Softly, The Dark Side of the Room, Along the Shadow, and the brand new title novella Turn Up the Sun, this collection presents a complete vision of these stories that all take place in a dark version of Portland, Oregon around the same time.

Also features the introduction for Criterium written by Jeremy Robert Johnson (The Loop) and the introduction for The Dark Side of the Room written by Philip Fracassi (Boys in the Valley).

Criterium
Fighting the same addiction that killed his father, a young man stumbles across a strange bike that takes him on a terrifying ride into darkness.

Enter Softly
Emergency Room nurse, Lisa Morton, has a problem and she is about to lose her marriage, her child, and her job.

As she works the night shift, a very damaged patient comes into the hospital and sets in motion a series of events that could lead to Lisa’s salvation, or her end.
A companion novella to Criterium, Tyler Jones returns to a world where addiction is a force with teeth and claws, and it will not let you go quietly.

The Dark Side of the Room
For years, Betsy Lupino has lived alone in a rundown apartment. Alone except for the growing wall of darkness that slowly devours her thoughts and memories. When a mysterious stranger moves into the building, Betsy fears the worst–that all of the dark inside her head has escaped into the real world.

Along the Shadow
Detective Gary Shaw is called to the scene of an unusual and grisly murder, which leads him to chase after a strange suspect. But Shaw is not sure if the suspect is also chasing him.

Turn Up the Sun (exclusive to this collection)
A brand new novella that follows Hazard, the eccentric and agoraphobic drug dealer from Criterium as he ventures out of his apartment to uncover the secret of a man who looks just like him, a man who was present at the scene of a grisly death.
