""Holyoak invites us to interpret the incorporeal world through a hypnotic pilgrimage toward the unsaid and unseen, questioning what it is about the darkness and distance that beckons ... a descent into the nonvisible, nonverbal, and nonconclusive potentiality of the shadow.""--Ximena Prieto ""Los Angeles Review of Books "" ""Set in a dystopian, speculative France, the novel follows a protagonist attempting to escape an encroaching architectural conglomerate--a void of all-consuming light, erasing all shadows in its path ... I was struck by the book's eerie resonance with issues making the current headlines: from the dwindling dark habitats for nocturnal animals to the incursion of AI into previously human-only domains.""--Yelena Zhelezov ""BOMB ""
