Fifteen Eyes

Solomon Northcutt enjoys the simple things in life: a nice sweater vest, trivia night with co-workers, and using the eyeballs of the deceased to transcribe horrific deaths for his bosses' reading pleasure.Tag along with our happy-go-lucky tour guide, Solomon, as he cracks open a fresh batch of 15 sordid tales. There’ll be all sorts of fun stuff inside…Astrology cults. Bodily theft. Cowboys. A whole ton of ants. Cosmic gods the size of skyscrapers. Religious pilgrimages. Arsonists. A traveling guitarist who grants wishes. Desert cannibals. People floating away on balloons. Addiction. A trip to Heaven. Mental hellscapes. The end of the world. A puppet made from decaying body parts and household appliances. Oh, and maybe a werewolf.Early reviews..."Fifteen Eyes is 'Tales from the Crypt' for smart kids, and I mean that in the best possible way." David K. Slater, author of Air Conditioned Nightmare"Downs has a level of creative genius I haven't seen in a long time. Just when you think you know where a story is going, he takes a 180-degree twist and wrenches the plot in a whole new, surprising direction. His writing is phenomenal. This book deserves a mass audience." S.E Howard, author of What Lies Unseen"Indie Horror continues to ascend through the emergence of new authors, and I believe Tyler Downs has the talent to be one of the best. He's gifted us an all-time great collection on his first release." Jamie Cassidy (reader)"I'm calling it now—Tyler Downs is going places. I felt like I was reading something new and fresh." Michael Stone, author of The Shimmering."This is one of the best collections I’ve ever read. Phenomenal storytelling with sharp, witty prose. Highly recommend." Jyl Glenn, author of Cubby"As a debut, Tyler’s collection of stories is a masterclass in literary entertainment worthy of high praise." Llrac Nodbe, author of Crulus"This book is my favorite read of 2025. For a collection to beat out a novel as my favorite of the year, for me, has never happened before. Every story here is of such high quality." James Nemeth (reader)"One of the best books I've read in years." A.C. Hessenauer, author of Dread House Read more
