Description
A brutally honest and noirish tale of marital desolation and woe. It follows Joe, an unreliable husband and narrator, whose deep-seated fears, after so many years of dormancy, slowly surmount and grow. Finding the surface, they plague his domesticity and new home, where his once-known wife grows strange and quiet. Emulating the style of 19th and 20th century classic authors, James swirls and tangles contemporary romance and paranormal elements with subtle and sudden erotica, ultimately showing that raw realism supersedes all.

This was a creepy and heartfelt novella. I found it very real and unnerving. I could definitely see myself in the shoes of both people. Wish this had been longer. A very talented new author for me.

The promise of a brutally honest narrative is very accurate! A Light in the House: Joe's Journey by Liam James is raw, filthy, honest, and deeply, painfully human. Joe’s voice doesn’t just speak to you; it traps you inside his head, where shame, trauma, humor, and heartbreak all collide. It’s not pretty, but it’s real. That final scene at the bar? Quiet brilliance. Look closely. Joe’s still struggling, but he’s choosing love..
