Description
What if you could stop time? What if it terrified you?
Andy is an unambitious community college student who gets the grades his parents want and spends most of his free time playing games online. His life seems comfortably predictable until a strange sickness and an encounter with a mysterious giant leave him wondering if he really can freeze time. Before long he is practicing hero banter, meeting people with bizarre abilities, and trying to distract his new personal trainer with philosophy.
But when a petty thief turns into a living nightmare, can Andy find the courage to rise up and face his fear?
As an ominous presence pulls strings from the shadows, can Andy figure out what it means to become Glitch in time to save himself?

Becoming Glitch is a work of fiction penned by Daniel Sayre in the paranormal and supernatural adventure subgenres. It is suitable for mature teen and adult readers and is especially aimed at the New Adult reading niche. In this thrilling tale with all the makings of a fantastic superhero adventure, we follow the generally mediocre Andy, who suddenly experiences a series of wildly unpredictable events that change his life when he catches a cold with a supernatural twist. Can he freeze time, and if so, should he? Andy may not have time to figure it out before his skills are needed to save himself from impending danger.
Daniel Sayre has crafted a superb and truly heroic tale for fans of the New Adult reading niche to enjoy. It was wonderful to see the everyman-type of protagonist elevated and challenged by the supernatural happenings all around him. Andy makes for a highly likable central figure the more we see him grow and develop during the trials of the plot. I also really liked the way that the paranormal elements of the work were interwoven with everyday life. This felt eerily realistic, as though this other world of superhumans could easily be operating in plain sight right beside our own. The pace was well maintained to keep things exciting throughout. This was hugely helped by the dialogue-driven scenes with lots of awkwardly humorous hero banter and shifts of attitude when people encountered Andy for the first time. I would certainly recommend Becoming Glitch for superhero fiction fans everywhere as a highly enjoyable read.
