In this <strong><em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> review<\/strong>, the author describes this story as a horror-noir, but for me, it\u2019s more of a surreal speculative thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>A Philosophical Opening That Hooks<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Chapter One, a nervous lecturer stands in front of her psychology class and starts talking about Jacques Lacan\u2019s theory of the mirror stage. \u201cWhat if what mirrors reflect back \u2026 is not always who we are?\u201d Then, Immanuel Kant\u2019s belief that reality is unknowable. And I am hooked. I can\u2019t wait to discover where it\u2019s going to take me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Reed Ashland: A Mind Unravelling<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we meet Reed Ashland, a former professor and mad alcoholic, \u201cburied in conspiracy theories and pseudo-science.\u201d He awakes from a disturbing dream at 3:33 a.m.\u2014again. The number 333 is significant. Drinking warm gin, he notices his journal\u2014<em>The Prison of the Human Mind<\/em> in red Sharpie on the cover. A humming sound from the living room washes over him, and the way Garman describes how his reality shifts is pure poetry. Reed is losing time as well as what\u2019s left of his once brilliant mind. What\u2019s happening to him? Are aliens responsible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Detective Maria Voss and a Disturbing Case<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Chapter Three, Detective Maria Voss, an exceptional Chicago homicide detective and single mother of two boys (her sons Eli and Tommy are later written with warmth, humour and heart), is in Mary Johnson\u2019s house, investigating her murder. She notices a strange symbol that the killer carved into her forehead as she lies dead on the bed. However, when Maria looks into the bedroom mirror, Johnson\u2019s body has inexplicably disappeared, shaking her to her core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Expanding the Mystery<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medical examiner, Dr.&nbsp;Krista Rutkowski, Maria Voss\u2019s close friend, gives Maria her impressions about the murder of Mary Johnson, and a homeless John Doe, killed the same way. And it\u2019s not long before we meet the serial killer, for whom the time 3:33 a.m., broken clocks, smashed mirrors, and strange symbols are also significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain Solomon Bryans is Maria\u2019s superior and friend, who always has her back. After years of serving in the army, he\u2019s now a serious, no-nonsense, by-the-book cop. Together, they work in a race against time to find the killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>A Character Driven by Ideas<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reed\u2019s interest in metaphysics, philosophy, astrophysics, ancient cultures, and symbols, among other fascinating topics, made him someone I\u2019d want to talk to. This is the first book I&#8217;ve read in which the main character has a PhD in epistemology and phenomenology\u2014just one of the reasons I love this cleverly conceived book. I wanted to learn more about those subjects and exactly how they influenced him during his surreal journey. Furthermore, his undefinable connection with Maria made me want to keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Strengths: Atmosphere, Pacing, and Surrealism<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first half of the book is exceptional for a debut novel. Garman is remarkably adept at writing surrealism! Those scenes beg the reader to pay attention. I found it was sometimes hard to picture them in my mind, even though he\u2019d written them with so much detail. If how surreal elements shape narrative tension interests you, you might also enjoy my thoughts on <a href=\"https:\/\/bodaciouscopy.com\/fr\/overuse-of-simile-and-metaphor\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/bodaciouscopy.com\/overuse-of-simile-and-metaphor\">the overuse of simile and metaphor<\/a> in fiction. By chapter 36, I still didn\u2019t know where the story was headed, which to me is the sign of a well-written thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pacing of this book is excellent, as is the tone, atmosphere, writing, and editing. The plot asks us to suspend belief, which I had no issue with, but the end was shocking and totally unexpected. It screams for a sequel because we still don\u2019t know what\u2019s actually going on. The author has left our imaginations to run wild. This is a story that doesn\u2019t end\u2014it echoes. That feeling may not be for everyone, but I will definitely show up for his next book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>A Note on Style<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I have one note for Jason, it\u2019s that sometimes fewer similes are better than too many, and to pay attention to diction when using adjectives as well as to overusing certain words. Overall, this is a remarkably creative debut, and the cover\u2014designed by digital artist Mario Nevado\u2014is bright, bold, and striking. Garman has also created a <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/0IkYCqS4nCfVdG8Mw2UsPG?si=H0woP_PcTp-CDZh8-8x6Ig&amp;pi=-Gbu_ku3S8-8Y\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/0IkYCqS4nCfVdG8Mw2UsPG?si=H0woP_PcTp-CDZh8-8x6Ig&amp;pi=-Gbu_ku3S8-8Y\">Spotify playlist<\/a> representing the official soundtrack for the book, which you can find in the back matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Final Thoughts: A Mind-Bending Experience<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You skip the light fandango reading <em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em>, an often surreal journey\u2014especially for Reed, as in his existence, time doesn\u2019t behave\u2014yet also a horrific, mind-bending, murder mystery. <em>It feels as if reality itself has slipped its frame\u2014and kept moving. And still, I wonder: what truth waits on the other side of the mirror?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reed isn\u2019t the only one who can\u2019t tell what\u2019s real and what isn\u2019t. The author keeps us guessing about what\u2019s really going on. It feels as if Dali painted <em>The Matrix<\/em>, and it came to life. Who is the mysterious Mr.&nbsp;Morrow, the Man in the Charcoal Suit? And what is the significance of a shimmering triangle and an old library in which the books won\u2019t let you touch them? <em>What<\/em> lies between the where and the elsewhere? I have so many questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Read Reflections in the Dark?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> will be published on April 21, 2026, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Reflections-Dark-Horror-Noir-Jason-Garman-ebook\/dp\/B0GSCM3Z7M\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Reflections-Dark-Horror-Noir-Jason-Garman-ebook\/dp\/B0GSCM3Z7M\/\">Amazon<\/a>. Pre-order it now if you love speculative fiction, Lynchian surrealism, psychological horror, a great mystery, and you enjoyed this <em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> review.
