I eagerly accepted and discovered an exceptional, intelligent, and surreal page-turner. If you\u2019ve read my <a href=\"https:\/\/bodaciouscopy.com\/fr\/reflections-in-the-dark-review\/\">Where Mirrors Shatter: Reflections in the Dark Review<\/a>, you\u2019ll know I have several lingering questions. Naturally, I asked Jason if he\u2019d be open to an interview for My Bodacious Blog. While I\u2019m not sure how much he\u2019ll reveal\u2014especially if a sequel is already forming\u2014I\u2019m happy to share this conversation with him. Welcome to my Jason Garman interview: <em>Reflections in the Dark.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Story Where Reality Begins to Fracture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please give readers a synopsis of your book.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> follows Dr. Reed Ashland, a former professor whose encounters with something he can\u2019t fully explain begin to fracture his sense of reality. At the same time, Detective Maria Voss is investigating a series of strange, unsettling murders\u2014cases that don\u2019t quite fit within the boundaries of the world she knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As their paths begin to overlap, Reed\u2019s experiences, once dismissed as delusion, start to take on a more disturbing possibility. Together, they\u2019re pulled into a search for answers that leads beyond conventional understanding, where the line between perception and reality begins to break down, and the truth behind the killings may not belong to this world at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Creative Influences Behind the Darkness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jason, what were your top three influences for writing <em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David Lynch is probably the biggest influence on everything I do creatively, and <em>Twin Peaks<\/em> in particular was a major touchstone for this book. That idea of blending the familiar with something deeply unsettling, where reality feels just slightly off, was something I wanted to capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A more unusual influence actually came from the old <em>Unsolved Mysteries<\/em> series with Robert Stack, which I was obsessed with as a kid. There was one case involving two women murdered in the same way, around the same time, with identical names. It was never solved, but investigators believed the cases were connected. That always stuck with me, and it became the initial spark for the story. The kind of mystery that feels like it\u2019s pointing to something just beyond our understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally, <em>The X-Files<\/em> was a huge influence. I\u2019ve gone back to that show again and again over the years. There\u2019s definitely a trace of that dynamic in Reed and Maria\u2014the tension between belief and skepticism, but they\u2019re very much their own people. Even Captain Bryans takes on a bit of that \u201cWalter Skinner\u201d role, acting as a grounded presence between two very different perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d also throw <em>House of Leaves<\/em> by Mark Z. Danielewski in there as a quieter influence, just in how it plays with perception and the idea that something impossible can exist just beneath the surface of reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bodaciouscopy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Reflections-in-the-Dark-by-Jason-Garman.jpg?fit=640%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1852\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Philosophy, Perception, and the Nature of Reality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Your decision to make your main character, Reed Ashland, a professor of epistemology and phenomenology, fascinated me. I had to look up what those terms meant. So, here are the AI crib notes. \u201cEpistemology is the branch of philosophy focused on the nature, origin, scope, and limits of human knowledge. Phenomenology is the philosophical study of structures of consciousness and subjective experience from a first-person viewpoint, aiming to describe phenomena as they appear, free from preconceived assumptions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where did your interest in philosophy, phenomenology and epistemology come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I actually minored in psychology in college, and while I was there, I started taking philosophy courses out of pure curiosity. Once I started going down that path, I couldn\u2019t really stop. There are so many fascinating ideas and theories in philosophy, especially around how we think, how we experience the world, and how we form beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s always been something I\u2019ve been drawn to in general. I\u2019ve spent a lot of time exploring psychology, sociology, religion, and different belief systems. I\u2019m really interested in how different people can experience the same situation in completely different ways. You can have two people walk away from the same conversation and come back with entirely different interpretations of what happened, and that\u2019s always fascinated me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That curiosity naturally led me toward ideas around knowledge and perception. Questions like how we know what we know, whether we can truly trust our own understanding, and how much of reality is shaped by our individual perspective. The deeper you go into that, the more it can start to blur the line between what\u2019s real and what we think is real, and for me, that\u2019s where things get really interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is True Knowledge Ever Within Reach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you believe we can attain true knowledge, or do we remain confined to mere belief?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, I\u2019d say no. I don\u2019t think true knowledge is fully possible for us, and we\u2019re probably confined to belief more than we\u2019d like to admit. The nature of existence itself, and the fact that anything exists at all, feels so vast and beyond our comprehension that there are limits to what the human mind can truly understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, I think there\u2019s something meaningful in the attempt. If anything, being confined to belief makes the pursuit of knowledge even more important, whether that\u2019s in trying to reach something closer to truth or simply testing and refining what we think we know. The pursuit itself is what drives curiosity, creativity, and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a lot of ways, I\u2019ve always felt like life is more about the journey than the destination, and that applies here too. The act of searching for understanding might actually be the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investigating Reed Ashland\u2019s Back Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Will you reflect more on Reed Ashland\u2019s interests and how you believe they contributed to his supernatural journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s something that really ties into the larger arc of the series, so I don\u2019t want to go too deep into it just yet. As more books come out, there will be more answers, or at least as close to answers as I like to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I will say is that Reed is not experiencing these things by accident. His life has shaped him in very specific ways. His academic background, his struggles with alcoholism, his marriage, the loss of his daughter, and even events that haven\u2019t been fully explored yet have all contributed to where he is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s really the culmination of a lifetime of very specific events that have made him who he is, and in turn, have made him more susceptible to encountering and engaging with things that most people either wouldn\u2019t notice or wouldn\u2019t be able to process in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Know So Far About Maria Voss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Having Detective Maria Voss be sympathetic to Reed\u2019s situation was an integral part of the plot. Can you tell us something about her that we may not realize, which helped her relate to him?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of that comes from her backstory, which we only see glimpses of in this book but will be explored more in future installments. Earlier in her life, Maria was actually much more like Reed. She studied philosophy herself and had a more open, almost idealistic way of looking at the world. Reed even jokes about her having a bit of a \u201chippie\u201d phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think part of what allows her to relate to him is that she recognizes a version of her younger self in him, before life shaped her into who she is now. Over time, experiences like loss, raising two kids on her own, and building a career as a detective in a city like Chicago have made her more grounded, more serious, and more guarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That connection to who she used to be is what allows her to stay open to Reed in a way that others might not. She understands how someone can see the world differently, even if she no longer lives in that mindset herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symbols, Signs, and the Unseen Patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the significance of the angel number 333 as it relates to your story?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s actually a bit of misdirection on my part. Reed is trying to interpret meaning from his experiences, but he\u2019s not necessarily getting it \u201cright\u201d in any objective sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He associates 3:33 and 4:44 with specific meanings because of what he experiences at those times. The Fold at 3:33, and his encounter with Mr. Morrow at 4:44. From there, he starts assigning significance to those numbers, trying to make sense of what\u2019s happening to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reality, those meanings don\u2019t strictly align with how those numbers are typically interpreted in numerology or religious contexts, but that\u2019s kind of the point. Reed is building meaning from experience rather than from established knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It ties back to the larger theme of the book, which is that our understanding of reality is often shaped more by what we go through than by anything objectively defined. He\u2019s trying to impose structure on something that may not have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mystery Without Answers: Embracing the Unknown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who is the mysterious Mr. Morrow, the Man in the Charcoal Suit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m going to channel David Lynch and not give a direct answer to that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Morrow is meant to exist in that space where interpretation matters. Different readers might see him in different ways depending on how they experience the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s something I really love about storytelling in general. If you put ten people in a room and have them read the same book, I think it\u2019s amazing if you get ten different interpretations of what something means or represents. To me, that\u2019s where the story really comes alive, when readers are able to fill in the blanks with their own imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I\u2019ll answer your question with a question. What do you think Mr. Morrow is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Elsewhere Fold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the significance of a shimmering triangle? And an old library in which the books won\u2019t let you touch them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll be a little coy on this one as well. A lot of strange things happen within the Elsewhere Fold, and many of the places, entities, and experiences have layers to them that I\u2019m not always going to fully explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the scenes, I actually keep what I call a \u201cFold Bible,\u201d which is a running document where I track all of those elements. Every room, every entity, every strange detail has some level of meaning or intention behind it, even if I never fully spell it out on the page. Part of the fun for me is leaving space for readers to interpret those things in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will say that the old library is something I refer to as \u201cthe vellum.\u201d What it represents ties into something I think all people are searching for, but can never fully reach, no matter how close they think they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shimmering triangle is a little more straightforward. That\u2019s a UFO, or a UAP, depending on which term you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond the Mirror: Expanding the Universe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>What truth waits on the other side of the mirror? <\/em><\/strong><strong>Will we find out in your next book?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s not something readers are going to get a clear answer to in the next book, and definitely not right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I will say is that the reality we experience, what we think of as our world, is only a very small part of something much larger. There\u2019s a vast unknown beyond it, and the deeper you go, the less stable and understandable things become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In that sense, mirrors aren\u2019t just reflections. They\u2019re entry points, a way of crossing into something beyond what we\u2019re able to see and comprehend in our everyday lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Will your next book reveal aliens? And have you written it yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m currently outlining the next book. I have a pretty clear sense of where the series is going, with ideas mapped out for at least the next few installments. Right now, I\u2019m balancing that with the launch of <em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> and finishing a couple of novellas that should be out later this year, but I\u2019ll be diving fully into writing the next book very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for aliens, yes, they are very much a part of this universe. That element will definitely be explored further moving forward. The shimmering triangle is just a glimpse of something much bigger, and that side of the story will continue to expand as the series goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Space Between Worlds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do you think lies between the where and the elsewhere?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love this question!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s probably something that\u2019s ultimately unknowable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if I had to describe it, I\u2019d say it\u2019s the dream you can feel but can\u2019t quite remember. The thought that sits on the tip of your tongue but never fully forms. And that sudden, unexplainable shiver that runs down your spine for no reason at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Story That Lingers Beyond the Page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a rare kind of story that doesn\u2019t simply unfold. It lingers, curls into your thoughts, and quietly reshapes the way you see the world. My conversation with Jason Garman revealed that <em><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\/\">Reflections in the Dark<\/a><\/em> is exactly that kind of story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What begins as a speculative mystery soon divulges something far more intricate. It\u2019s a meditation on perception. Insight into belief and the fragile boundary between what we understand and what may forever remain just out of reach. Jason\u2019s influences\u2014from surreal storytelling to unsolved real-world mysteries\u2014thread through his work in subtle, unsettling ways. He created a narrative that feels both grounded and otherworldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The characters draw shape as much from their inner worlds as from the forces surrounding them. Reed Ashland\u2019s philosophical lens and Maria Voss\u2019s lived experience form a compelling tension between belief and skepticism. This tension mirrors the very questions the novel dares to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What struck me most was Jason\u2019s willingness to leave space. Space for ambiguity, for interpretation, for the reader to step in and wrestle with meaning. Not everything invites an answer, nor should it be answered. And perhaps that\u2019s where the real magic lies. Furthermore, for what my two cents are worth, I think Mr. Morrow is an alien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> teaches us that reality is not as fixed as we\u2019d like to believe. Sometimes, the most compelling truths are the ones we can never fully grasp.

As more books come out, there will be more answers, or at least as close to answers as I like to get.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">What I will say is that Reed is not experiencing these things by accident. His life has shaped him in very specific ways. His academic background, his struggles with alcoholism, his marriage, the loss of his daughter, and even events that haven\u2019t been fully explored yet have all contributed to where he is now.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s really the culmination of a lifetime of very specific events that have made him who he is, and in turn, have made him more susceptible to encountering and engaging with things that most people either wouldn\u2019t notice or wouldn\u2019t be able to process in the same way.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Having Detective Maria Voss be sympathetic to Reed\u2019s situation was an integral part of the plot. Can you tell us something about her that we may not realize, which helped her relate to him?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">A lot of that comes from her backstory, which we only see glimpses of in this book but will be explored more in future installments. Earlier in her life, Maria was actually much more like Reed. She studied philosophy herself and had a more open, almost idealistic way of looking at the world. Reed even jokes about her having a bit of a \u201chippie\u201d phase.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">I think part of what allows her to relate to him is that she recognizes a version of her younger self in him, before life shaped her into who she is now. Over time, experiences like loss, raising two kids on her own, and building a career as a detective in a city like Chicago have made her more grounded, more serious, and more guarded.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">That connection to who she used to be is what allows her to stay open to Reed in a way that others might not. She understands how someone can see the world differently, even if she no longer lives in that mindset herself.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symbols, Signs, and the Unseen Patterns<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><strong>What is the significance of the angel number 333 as it relates to your story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s actually a bit of misdirection on my part. Reed is trying to interpret meaning from his experiences, but he\u2019s not necessarily getting it \u201cright\u201d in any objective sense.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">He associates 3:33 and 4:44 with specific meanings because of what he experiences at those times. The Fold at 3:33, and his encounter with Mr. Morrow at 4:44. From there, he starts assigning significance to those numbers, trying to make sense of what\u2019s happening to him.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">In reality, those meanings don\u2019t strictly align with how those numbers are typically interpreted in numerology or religious contexts, but that\u2019s kind of the point. Reed is building meaning from experience rather than from established knowledge.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">It ties back to the larger theme of the book, which is that our understanding of reality is often shaped more by what we go through than by anything objectively defined. He\u2019s trying to impose structure on something that may not have one.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mystery Without Answers: Embracing the Unknown<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Who is the mysterious Mr. Morrow, the Man in the Charcoal Suit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019m going to channel David Lynch and not give a direct answer to that one.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Mr. Morrow is meant to exist in that space where interpretation matters. Different readers might see him in different ways depending on how they experience the story.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s something I really love about storytelling in general. If you put ten people in a room and have them read the same book, I think it\u2019s amazing if you get ten different interpretations of what something means or represents. To me, that\u2019s where the story really comes alive, when readers are able to fill in the blanks with their own imagination.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">So I\u2019ll answer your question with a question. What do you think Mr. Morrow is?<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><strong>What is the significance of a shimmering triangle? And an old library in which the books won\u2019t let you touch them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019ll be a little coy on this one as well. A lot of strange things happen within the Elsewhere Fold, and many of the places, entities, and experiences have layers to them that I\u2019m not always going to fully explain.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Behind the scenes, I actually keep what I call a \u201cFold Bible,\u201d which is a running document where I track all of those elements. Every room, every entity, every strange detail has some level of meaning or intention behind it, even if I never fully spell it out on the page. Part of the fun for me is leaving space for readers to interpret those things in their own way.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">I will say that the old library is something I refer to as \u201cthe vellum.\u201d What it represents ties into something I think all people are searching for, but can never fully reach, no matter how close they think they are.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">The shimmering triangle is a little more straightforward. That\u2019s a UFO, or a UAP, depending on which term you prefer.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond the Mirror: Expanding the Universe<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><strong><em>What truth waits on the other side of the mirror? <\/em><\/strong><strong>Will we find out in your next book?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s not something readers are going to get a clear answer to in the next book, and definitely not right now.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">What I will say is that the reality we experience, what we think of as our world, is only a very small part of something much larger. There\u2019s a vast unknown beyond it, and the deeper you go, the less stable and understandable things become.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">In that sense, mirrors aren\u2019t just reflections. They\u2019re entry points, a way of crossing into something beyond what we\u2019re able to see and comprehend in our everyday lives.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Will your next book reveal aliens? And have you written it yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019m currently outlining the next book. I have a pretty clear sense of where the series is going, with ideas mapped out for at least the next few installments. Right now, I\u2019m balancing that with the launch of <em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> and finishing a couple of novellas that should be out later this year, but I\u2019ll be diving fully into writing the next book very soon.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">As for aliens, yes, they are very much a part of this universe. That element will definitely be explored further moving forward. The shimmering triangle is just a glimpse of something much bigger, and that side of the story will continue to expand as the series goes on.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Space Between Worlds<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><strong>What do you think lies between the where and the elsewhere?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Love this question!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s probably something that\u2019s ultimately unknowable.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">But if I had to describe it, I\u2019d say it\u2019s the dream you can feel but can\u2019t quite remember. The thought that sits on the tip of your tongue but never fully forms. And that sudden, unexplainable shiver that runs down your spine for no reason at all.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Story That Lingers Beyond the Page<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">There\u2019s a rare kind of story that doesn\u2019t simply unfold. It lingers, curls into your thoughts, and quietly reshapes the way you see the world. My conversation with Jason Garman revealed that <em><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\/\">Reflections in the Dark<\/a><\/em> is exactly that kind of story.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">What begins as a speculative mystery soon divulges something far more intricate. It\u2019s a meditation on perception. Insight into belief and the fragile boundary between what we understand and what may forever remain just out of reach. Jason\u2019s influences\u2014from surreal storytelling to unsolved real-world mysteries\u2014thread through his work in subtle, unsettling ways. He created a narrative that feels both grounded and otherworldly.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">The characters draw shape as much from their inner worlds as from the forces surrounding them. Reed Ashland\u2019s philosophical lens and Maria Voss\u2019s lived experience form a compelling tension between belief and skepticism. This tension mirrors the very questions the novel dares to ask.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">What struck me most was Jason\u2019s willingness to leave space. Space for ambiguity, for interpretation, for the reader to step in and wrestle with meaning. Not everything invites an answer, nor should it be answered. And perhaps that\u2019s where the real magic lies. Furthermore, for what my two cents are worth, I think Mr. Morrow is an alien.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\"><em>Reflections in the Dark<\/em> teaches us that reality is not as fixed as we\u2019d like to believe. Sometimes, the most compelling truths are the ones we can never fully grasp. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[320],"tags":[321,103,75,291,322,324,288,290,81,221,323],"class_list":["post-1841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-author-interviews","tag-author-interviews","tag-first-time-writers","tag-indie-authors","tag-jason-garman","tag-jason-garman-interview-reflections-in-the-dark","tag-noir-horror-novel","tag-reflections-in-the-dark","tag-reflections-in-the-dark-by-jason-garman","tag-self-publishing-authors","tag-speculative-fiction","tag-speculative-noir-horror"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
