Review
"There is a great temptation to discuss and describe each one of the astounding tales in Brian James Freeman's latest collection of short stories but to do that would diminish the profound impact each one will have on readers who must discover the hope and the darkness themselves. What I can say is that each will leave you greatly moved and a bit disoriented, as a truth is uncovered, a hope is concealed, a terror is faced, a horror is revealed... You will lose yourself in these pages."
-- Ron McLarty, author of The Memory of Running, Traveler, and The Dropper

Where Sunlight Sleeps: A Short Story
"Every Saturday, his little boy awakens with the rising sun. The middle-aged widower is already awake in the bedroom down the hall where he lies in the bed he has shared with no one since his wife died. The man hears his son's bedroom door creak open, and he closes his eyes so that his son won't know he's been awake most of the night again...."
A grieving father and his young son, both dealing with their loss in their own ways.
A Saturday ritual, retracing the last steps of the woman they loved more than any other.
A search for the place where the sunlight sleeps, where bad feelings can be released.
And a trip down a memory lane lined with jagged edges and vicious traps that just won't let them go.
