A modern day ‘Twilight Zone’ episode that has you guessing as you go. The author has created a wonderful world that exists under our noses and yet is vibrant and…weird.

I think the writer of ‘A Thousand Eyes’ tapped into an innate fear in all of us and made it come alive in full color…or perhaps even more frightening black and white.

I found the world that the author creates and then details utterly fascinating. Set in post-war New York it perfectly captures the vibe of the1940s and yet it is apocalyptic in an other-worldly sense. Brilliant story with amazing descriptions.
