Eerie, surprising, and profoundly emotional, The House on Tyner by Matthew O’Connell is a beautifully written ghost story with the structure of a mystery, plunging the reader into the snowy atmosphere of Nevada’s winters, and into the chilling outcomes of a murder case that challenges the reader’s sense of the rational. All told, The House on Tyner is a powerfully written ghost story that manages to be appealingly realistic, while also questioning the boundaries of the tangible world. Giving a poetic side to the enigmatic and haunted, the novel is unique in the paranormal genre. — Self-Publishing Review
