Faces in the Dark Phil O'Halloran

Eric Soderberg is a rock-unloving, uncaring, unaffected. He has no family but his abusive former stepmother and no social life but the people he meets at his crappy job as an electrician. He lives for his secret life: he writes short stories and publishes them under the name Jason McKagan. McKagan is young, handsome, talented, popular-everything Eric is not. Jason McKagan soon becomes America's most popular writer. Everyone reads his work. One day, Eric discovers that a coworker of his is an avid McKagan reader. A dramatic turn of events forces him to make a life-changing decision: should he let love back into his life and face the pain and hardship that it causes, or continue to lead his meaningless life? You will devour author Phil O'Halloran's vivid descriptions of the mundane, witty philosophical observations, fast-paced storytelling, and messed-up sense of humor. You will fall in love with a character who would certainly not love you back. This story of love, loss and connection will no doubt give you something to think about.
