About this listen
From Tyler Jones (author of Criterium, The Dark Side of the Room, and Almost Ruth) comes Burn the Plans, a collection featuring 15 tales of supernatural suspense.
In “A Sharp Black Line”, children go missing whenever a ghostly island appears in the center of a river during a storm, and a father must make a terrible choice.
Two young brothers are tasked with burying the family dog and uncover dark family secrets in “Trigger”.
In “Red Hands”, a disturbed man goes on a killing spree, and his childhood friend suspects it has something to do with what they found, many years ago, hidden in a cave.
A courtroom sketch artist draws the evil she cannot see in “The Devil on the Stand”.
A young boy sets out to get photographic proof of the ghosts that haunt his home in “Boo!”
Grotesque government experiments, a remote viewer who blurs past and future, a crate that contains ancient evil, and bloodthirsty machines are all part of the world in which these tales take place.
Featuring 14 short stories and one novelette, Burn the Plans is a relentless journey into the dark places we end up when all of our plans go wrong.

Willy and Marianne’s farmhouse in Maine has acres of meadow and fresh air, and a lonesome bridle path in the forest along which Willy daydreams and ambles. When he’s loaned a decrepit old baby stroller to cart his groceries home, the rickety squeak of the wheels comforts him. So do the sweet coos of a baby Willy knows can’t be real. Can it? In this twisted thicket, wishes come true—with a price.

The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.

After the suicide of a fellow brother-in-arms, marine-turned-veteran-advocate Marcus Simpson organizes a weekend getaway. Marcus has seen too much to allow another brother to become a statistic.

What happens at...the warrior retreat?

And in a fog-drenched cove at the edge of New England, something terrible awakens when a fisherman reels in a gruesome catch: the remains of a young woman. Remains still pulsing with furious life.

Critic reviews
“Original and highly entertaining with storytelling prose that refuses to let go. You’re going to have fun with this one.” (Chad Lutzke, author of Of Foster Homes and Flies)
“At turns disquieting and surreal, Burn the Plans demands we chase shadows through unlit cities and down painful roads. Jones paints the grim portrait of a shattered-glass world and then throws us inside with no way out. In this collection, everywhere and everyone is a haunted house.” (Hailey Piper, author of The Worm and His Kings)
“In his first collection Burn the Plans, Tyler Jones is an author who has found his voice, and it’s a confident, assured one. From the opening story’s look at guilt and penance to the closing story’s tale of a Christmas gone horribly wrong, Burn the Plans features real characters caught up in unreal situations. Recommended!” (John F.D. Taff, Bram Stoker Award-Nominated author of Little Black Spots and The Fearing)

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

A stranger who claims he’s her husband.

A good collection of short stories
I really enjoyed this collection. My favorite by far was Boo. Hearing the authors thoughts on each story at the end of the collection was great.

Captivating and Immersing
A collection of short stories blended into a cocktail of absolute perfection. Some of the stories are just stories to be told. Some end with a cliffhanger. Some end at the right time on a high note. Then there’s the one will slap the s*it out of you and have you reflecting life at 7:30 in the morning.

Good variety
This is a collection of different horror stories. There were a few cliffhangers that I would have liked to end differently. Every story kept my attention and made me want to keep listening. Overall a good collection.

One of the best short story collections I’ve ever read
Slinging out a bunch of superlatives about the stories in this collection feels disingenuous. It’s way beyond that. It’s real life, but for people experiencing it at its most surreal and traumatic - like a peek behind the curtain at the ugliest, most confusing, terrifying, and life altering bits - the stuff we are afraid might exist just below our conscious awareness, but don’t know for sure. The stories don’t tread familiar ground. The trajectory is harrowing and haunting. The existential dread lingers. That’s all you can really ask for in a reading experience.

The narrator was fantastic and the stories provided a lot of variety
This is the second work I've read from Tyler Jones, the first being "The Dark Side of the Room" (which was fantastic, if a hair too long). I think he did well with a short story format and provided a solid variety of concepts, narrators, settings, and characters. A few stories really stood out ("Trigger" and "The Lion's Den" come to mind). The only negative thing I could say is that the structure of the plots and the often abrupt or open endings became a bit too similar, to the point where I was able to anticipate what was going to happen or how the story was going to end just by the pattern of storytelling beats. Overall a highly recommended collection of short stories!

Fantastic!
Burn the Plans by Tyler Jones -
This short story collection is such a wild ride! I absolutely loved it! I won’t take the time to review each story here. You’re gonna have to check it out for yourself to do that. Let’s just say it’s a fantastic collection!
Jones has the ability to tell stories in such a way that pulls you in from the beginning and keeps you hanging on every word. Some of the stories made me think, some were freaky as hell, and some were down right trippy.
Corporation will have you looking at businesses in a whole new way and questioning everything. White Glove is a delightfully twisted Christmas tale. And the ending of Boo! left my jaw on the floor! What?!?!?!
Man! Give this one a read or a listen! You won’t be disappointed!
