Las Vegas, 1983; a landfill site becomes a graveyard for unwanted Atari cartridges. An on-stage regression seance tears open a passage to another dimension.

Present-day; a sequence of cryptic messages and the haunting cry of a spirit animal force the up-all-night streamer, Lars Nilsson, to be kicked from his latest high-stakes gaming obsession.

As the puzzle pieces of Lars’ life fall into place, he is propelled on a journey more challenging than any game, to a land where magical creatures command the purple skies and shadow animals patrol the streets like deadly sentinels.

But what do the challenges of this otherworld have to do with a reclusive gamer, and can Lars come to terms with the true origins of his identity before the land of the dead is lost to a powerful primordial force?

The Tetris Effect is a phenomenon where obsessive gaming can result in the player responding to challenges in the real-world just as they would in a game.

This is a fast-paced contemporary fantasy adventure about change, loss, how we avoid responsibility and where we seek distraction, the life choices that we make and how these decisions impact others."},"textReviewsCount":5,"publicationDate":"2018","toBePublished":false,"editions":"4 editions","editionsUrl":"/work/editions/59997785-the-tetris-effect-a-fantasy-thriller-novel-tetris-trilogy-1"}}],"seriesHeaders":["Book 1"]}
