Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
-- Scott Tinley limns his own kind of demon-haunted world. He writes with a hard-earned wisdom about the limits of physical confrontation and the interior dimensions of the psychic battlefield. These stories are visitations of a sort, from the ghosts of enemies within and without. --Chris Carter, writer, creator and producer of the X-Files and other film and literary projects. --Chris Carter
ST writes like he raced -- passionately, purposefully, driven by an intelligent soulfullness, a depth of understanding of tragedy rarely found these days. Pull up a chair and treasure this trip inside the heart - and head -- of a chronicler of the human condition. --Armen Keteyian, Chief Investigative Correspondent, CBS News --Armen Keteyian, Chief Investigative Correspondent, CBS News
That which doesn't kill me, makes me stronger. Scott Tinley takes Nietzsche's aphorism and runs with it in this collection of hard-fought truths and smart, lyrical stories. You can tell he sweat blood writing them. The reader also emerges tougher, wiser, grateful. --Bill Katovsky, author of Patriots Act: Voicing Dissent; and co-author of Embedded. --Bill Katovsky
