Praise for this book
"Tyler Jones' first novella is an unflinching and compassionate view into the black hole of addiction and grief. An intriguing and novel premise that drags real life horror into the depths of the supernatural - compulsively readable." - Laurel Hightower
"Jones' prose in Criterium is like a shot of adrenaline to the heart. Once you turn that first page, you give over any control you once had, and this book will steamroll you into the ride of your life... you can almost feel the wind in your face and the heat on your flesh... he writes this story to within an inch of its life... there are moments of frenzied paranoia and then subtle and melancholic moments of sadness, grief and aloneness. It's intoxicating." - Ross Jeffery
"This is small-town Bradbury with a world-weary mean streak: even the magic here seems perfectly happy to break your bones and drag your face across asphalt." - Jeremy Robert Johnson
"Criterium is a high-octane ride in every way imaginable. A magnificent example of the type of storytelling that can be achieved through the novella form... mixes relatable real-life grief with metaphor that embodies what addiction horror can be." - Brennan LaFaro
"A haunting masterclass in storytelling." - Eric LaRocca
"What a ride. Criterium is unpredictable, fast-paced, and bleeds with heart. Tyler Jones is one to watch." - Scott J Moses
