Reviews coming in for TIMOR INFINITUM!

The reviews are starting to come in for my short little tale, TImor Infinitum, due out on my BIRTHDAY, February 28th! Preorder today! (Note: Appeared in the collection When the Lights Go Out).

"Kevin Lucia's "Timor Infinitum" is a short tale tying in to his Clifton Heights series of stories, though it can be read entirely independently on its own. In fact, as a standalone, the story is open to an allegorical reading which hits hard if you're a bit older and feeling stuck in life or on permanent repeat.

On the face of it, "Timor Infinitum" is a super-creepy story about Mitch, a man who can't forget being lost, as a teenage boy, in the woods around Clifton Heights, with a couple of classmates, all three ending up in a sort of liminal space (a small abandoned church) where unknown symbols are carved on the walls and sinister things are waiting to happen. After they're eventually found, Mitch remains deeply traumatized by what happened, especially since he can't remember it in full. He develops a phobia of "infinite spaces".

In less than fifty pages, Lucia tells a haunting episode from the life of these three teenage boys, intertwining it, however, with snapshots from Mitch's life as an adult; his worries, his anxiety, his trauma and his missing memory. Inevitably, the resolution won't satisfy everyone, but I personally found it a fitting and satisfying ending to a meditative and suspenseful story about time, adulthood, phobia of liminality, and the injustice of singularly bad choices. Recommended!" - Goodreads

"I am a huge fan of Lucia’s Clifton Heights stories and this joins a long string of them that I’ve enjoyed. It works well as an amuse bouche for those of us who’ve visited this eerie town before. Lucia is a clever writer and the concept is quite cerebral. Those with a love of coming of age-tales and cosmic horror will probably feel at home here." - Goodreads
