Review
"This book to me became instantly important because it represents the power of so-called 'outsider' fiction and it is with this power that this book will call its' readers home."
--Drunk in a Graveyard
"The Absence of Light is lush and lyrical...a jangled and disturbing book that seeks to transcend through rituals and incantations. This book is highly recommended for anyone who wants dark prose that seeks to transgress boundaries."
--Hellnotes
". . . one part ghost story, one part alternative lifestyle exploration that explores the themes of identity, loss, and the power of art through poetic language."

About the Author
J. Daniel Stone is the pseudonym for a hotheaded Italian kid from NYC. He has been a menace to society since 1987 and has, at various times, prepared bodies for the morgue, broke up fights between gerbils and used fire to change the color of the carpet in his bedroom. These days he can be found terrorizing local book stores, art galleries and dive bars boasting about his two bastard children: The Absence of Light (2013) and Blood Kiss (2016). Somewhere, out there in the dark, one can find more of his illegitimate spawns telling imaginative stories from places like Grey Matter Press, Icarus: The Magazine of Gay Speculative Fiction, Blood Bound Books, Prime Books, Crowded Quarantine Publications and more. In 2016, readers selected his work to be featured in DREAD--THE VERY BEST OF GREY MATTER PRESS. Find him on Livejournal and Twitter @SolitarySpiral

A Stellar Debut
By NJM
J. Daniel Stone writes for the senses. He delivers prose that takes you beyond the page, pulling you into a world that's not your own but which will come at you, encompass you, cradle you. It will force you to taste the Jäger, smell the smoke, hear the growl of forlorn lyrics and feel the steely blade biting into your flesh. "The Absence of Light" is spooky and strange. It's raw with pain accentuated by the uncertainty of youth and amplified by ghosts lingering in years forgotten by all but a few. There's beauty, too, that shines through the fear, horror and pain. It may be soaked by booze and covered in blood, but it's there, one of the many pieces in this literary puzzle that comes together to create a worthy read.

FanboyComics.net Review: "The Absence of Light" Book Review (I'd Take a Lot of Drugs If I Saw Ghosts, Too)
By Kristine Chester
After being separated their entire lives, twins Rez and Delilah are reunited in New York City, the place where they were born and where their parents were killed, but the one question neither of them have an answer for is what happened that night all those years ago when they were brought into the world? The Absence of Light is one part ghost story, one part alternative lifestyle exploration that explores the themes of identity, loss, and the power of art through poetic language.
First and foremost, The Absence of Light is not intended for younger audiences. This is an adult book filled with alcohol, drugs, sex, gore, and a lot of foul language. It simply doesn't hold back at showing the seedier parts of life, but I can't imagine it having the same impact if it were censored. J. Daniel Stone's writing is thick, filled with poetry and complex sentences that are designed to be savored, not blitzed through in order to get to the next chapter. As a consequence, the book feels slow moving at times, further enhanced by the repetition in the characters' actions, which include circular arguments and a lot of drinking and taking drugs. The first half of the book drags as it takes a while to bring all the major characters together, but once the cast is assembled, the real story gets underway and doesn't stop moving until its thrilling conclusion.
At the heart of The Absence of Light is a ghost story and a set of mysteries. What were the circumstances behind Rez and Delilah's parents' deaths? Are the orbs Clive is able to capture on film really the mark of spirits or just an oddity? And, if they are ghosts, why do the orbs gather around Rez? The book toys with the questions and some of the answers aren't so straight forward; I found my mind raced to fill in gaps and come to my own conclusions as readily as any of the characters.
As fun as the mysteries are, what makes the repetition bearable and makes the book truly enjoyable are the characters: Rez, Delilah, Alex, Clive, Lynk, Hans--while each of them lives the same Goth, cutting, and substance-abusing lifestyle, they each have dramatically different identities and points of view. Hell, the differences established in their art alone, from Rez's writing, Clive and Lynk's photography, Delilah and Alex's music, it speaks volumes to the differences of the human psyche, the importance of self-expression, and all the different venues that can take. While these characters have glaring flaws and can be on the immature side at times, they grow on you a lot as the book progresses. Their alternate lifestyle, while not for me, doesn't seem so bad either by the end, simply a different way of playing the game of life than the rules I'm accustomed to. Stone has a gift for writing relationships between characters. Whether Rez and Delilah's familial connection, the close friendship between Alex and Delilah, or Rez and Alex's new relationship, I felt the love and trust between the characters, which more than anything is what keeps them from giving up on life and instead moving forward towards their dreams.

Dark, Lyrical, Imaginitive—Clever Storytelling in an Impressive Debut
By Sydney Leigh
This debut novel was exceptional. I'm loving that Stone's characters Rez and Delilah are not static or destined to live within the pages of one book. By carrying the characters into other works of his, Stone allows these siblings to shine despite their lives in a world filled with darkness, fighting evils both inside and around them.
Stone loves language and the raw, powerful stories it can tell in the form of lyrical, yet often harsh, prose. His own passions are fused into the characters and plot—music, art, literature, poetry, alternative thinking—and a big middle finger in the face of conformity, "the norm", and conservative views.
He is a precocious writer who backs up his confidence with talent, a strong handle on vocabulary and its place in storytelling, beautiful and disturbing imagery, and no lack of imagination. For a debut novel from such a young man, THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT is impressive—and as his characters grow stronger and wiser, his writing does, too.
Bravo, Stone. Bravo.
