Welcome to Litsy!

There is An Other Place... where time and space are fluid... where the moon changes colour and savage beasts run wild... where love is a perilous proposition and the dead are swiftly forgotten... where sandmen offer sanctuary and the Alchemist rules over all. When Newman Riplan's flight into the unknown turns into a nightmarish slide between worlds, he must explore an unnamed city where unpredictable terrors are the norm. By the end of his first day adrift, his life has spun completely out of his control, but the most mind-twisting and soul-crushing revelations are only beginning. As he desperately searches for a way out, he starts to realise that the city isn't in the habit of releasing its captives. And it seems to have a plan for him... "This is, by far, the best book of 2016, possibly the best book of this decade... the bastard love child of Kafka and Rod Serling, throwing in a dash of Ray Bradbury for good measure. 5/5 -- brilliant. Just brilliant." Kelly Smith Reviews. "Darren Dash has opened a new artery of terror... unlike any book I have ever read... hints of The Twilight Zone, Pines, and Station Eleven." The Literary Connoisseur. "Lewis Carroll, L. Frank Baum, and Brett Easton Ellis may have written some weird stuff, but An Other Place tops all of it, both in terms of re-readability and overall scope." Dread Central. "This book really did blow my mind... each page turn was both chilling and thrilling in equal measure... the conclusion left me with goosebumps. 5/5!" Rachel Hobbs, author. "An Other Place is a deliciously quirky novel that is surreal and powerful in equal measure. This is by far Dash's best work to date. It is challenging and absurd, artistically brave and politically conscious, but this abstract painting of a novel is one thing above all else... completely original." Books, Films & Random Lunacy. "You can try and try but you will never guess the ending nor even 5 pages ahead as to where the story is going to take you." Daniel Davies, Goodreads. "This story had me hooked from the get go... an ending that sent my mind into a spin. 5 stars." Reviews And Randomness. "This book is utterly unique... I was amazed at how well Dash could create this baffling world from scratch and draw me into it so completely. 5 stars." A Place In Which Jessie Writes.
