The Tel Aviv Dossier

<p>The wind picks up even more, pushing me, as if it's trying to jerk the camera away from my hands. I spin around and the camera pans across the old bus terminal and someone screams... Into the city of Tel Aviv the whirlwinds come, and nothing will ever be the same. Through a city torn apart by a violence they cannot comprehend, three disparate people-a documentary film-maker, a yeshiva student, and a psychotic fireman-must try to survive, and try to find meaning: even if it means being lost themselves. As Tel Aviv is consumed, a strange mountain rises at the heart of the city, and shows the outline of what may be another, alien world beyond. Can there be redemption there? Can the fevered rumours of a coming messiah be true? As the city loses contact with the outside world and closes in on itself, as the few surviving children play and scavenge in the ruins, can innocence survive, and is it possible for hope to spring amid such chaos? A potent mixture of biblical allusions, Lovecraftian echoes, and contemporary culture, The Tel Aviv Dossier is part supernatural thriller, part meditation on the nature of belief-an original and involving novel painted on a vast canvas in which, beneath the despair, humour is never absent.</p>

<p>Eleven-year-old Brian Page spends every waking moment in the forest behind the house where he lives with his father. But forests are always deeper than anyone can know. Secrets are hidden in the eternal twilight of the trees. Those secrets emerge into light when Brian disappears in the forest, as his father did three decades before. His father, however, came home with no memory of the events in the depths of the forest. What has drawn Brian away? Will he emerge, shuddering and broken, as his father did, or will the forests close around him, as they have done so often before?The book also includes an essay by the author called "Places and Names."REVIEWSWith The World More Full of Weeping, author Robert J. Wiersema proves that one can tell an eerie and captivating story without resorting to violence or spilling a single drop of blood. This short novella, about a preteen who goes missing in the same woods that his father did as a child (where they both encounter a strange girl), is graceful and potent, and will appeal to fans of quiet, introspective horror.-Monica S. Kuebler, Rue Morgue/ / / / Wiersema crafts this tale so that the terror strikes at the soul and not the gut and the story which makes the story much more powerful than a tale of violent horror. This novella gets my highest possible recommendation and only comes with one caveat: be prepared to lay awake at night thinking about this tale the next time you are faced with a choice over taking the road less travelled.-Examiner.com/ / / / It's a compelling read, a heartfelt one, and it flies by like the best bits of Stephen King. The ending is perfect and crystal-clear, part and parcel of a literary wonder that clutches your heart in the dearest way imaginable . . . This one is a stunner and as recommended as it gets.-Bookslut</p>
