This is a work of fiction. [At the least, this is the safest designation.] A continuation of Untitled, expanding beyond that tale in many senses of the word. Further explore both the past and future of the timeline of the cycles, and delve into untapped characters, while introducing new realms of reflective meaning, both emotional and psychological. Be prepared for additions which are similar and expected, yet others which would not likely have been envisioned as connected to the original scenarios.

By Mo ‘Expansion’ by Adam Sawka is the sequel to the psychological mystery novel, ‘Untitled’, delving deeper into the haunting tales of the individuals affected by the supernatural journal ‘READ THIS’.The central story arc (if it can be called that) follows Trent, a young Canadian who had previously been trying to piece together his life after losing an entire year of memories, and picks up where ‘Untitled’ left off. Convinced that ‘READ THIS’ is responsible for his amnesia, Trent soon begins to experience vivid dreams that his beloved idols are being threatened by an evil otherworldly force, and believes that it’s all somehow connected. Meanwhile, ‘Expansion’ also documents extracts from the lives of others who have been damned by the pages of ‘READ THIS’, slowly unravelling the true nature of the book. Written and formatted mainly in the style of journal entries (best represented in the paperback edition), this novel veers from the chilling tone of its predecessor to instead progress the plot through an unusual collection of something akin to character studies and short stories.First of all, it should definitely be noted that without having read ‘Untitled’ – or at least having some background knowledge on it – ‘Expansion’ might not make a great deal of sense to begin with, though this is gradually addressed by the various characters. That said, the author has expanded (pardon the pun) the ‘READ THIS’ universe in an interesting way, calling on new mediums such as dream sequences, song lyrics or interludes through which to tell the tale. While this reflects the way ‘Untitled’ often alternated between Trent’s (and later Damon’s) narration and the strange philosophical content of ‘READ THIS’, ‘Expansion’ is slightly more disjointed at times because it deals with an increased number of characters and mediums that are not always chronological or even related.An element I liked best about this novel was Sawka’s inclusion of these so-called “short stories”, deliberately collated as a series of chapters rather than appearing randomly throughout the book as they might otherwise have done. One of these sub-plots relates to the mysterious events surrounding a trio of Japanese pop stars, while the other is about a young man (possibly during a Mesoamerican era) and how his tribe are forced to deal with terrifying new concepts. The former is a great example of how the author excels at building suspense – drip-feeding the reader details of this unnerving scenario until it reaches a mind-blowing climax – and the latter showcases his skill at twisting these supernatural themes to match a primal perspective. As intriguing as they are, however, minor criticisms I would have are that the connection between the story in Trent’s dreams and the disturbing anomalies he experienced during ‘Untitled’ is not immediately apparent, or that there is no real explanation as to how the “interlude” relates to the wider plot.With regards to the characters themselves, there was less time dedicated to each one than had been spent on Trent and Damon during ‘Untitled’. This, in my opinion, reduced any psychological impact the author might have wished to have upon the reader the way he had so skilfully accomplished in the prequel. Nevertheless, it was interesting to learn more about Trent’s background, particularly how his reflections on his earlier life sets the stage for what he plans to do in the future. In addition, I was pleasantly surprised when Brandon’s arc suddenly changed from total confusion to having the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, though I personally felt that his journal entries in ‘Expansion’ were too erratic and often trivial to the point of tedious. Again, this style paid homage to Trent’s ponderings in the first book, but lacked the dark and unsettling content that previously made it successful. I was also disappointed in William’s entries – few and far between as they were – because they teased at an understanding of ‘READ THIS’ that he and Damon shared, but this wasn’t elaborated on. I can only hope that Sawka’s next title will address this.On that note, I must admit that I was left wanting more answers to the countless questions raised throughout the novel, and was irritated that so many had been seemingly abandoned altogether or dangled like a carrot until the respective stories (Brandon’s in particular) came to an abrupt end. I actually found ‘Expansion’ to be pretty anti-climactic, and believe that this could have been easily solved by rearranging the final few chapters. Conversely, Sawka has repeated the feat of stamping his own mark of intelligence and creativity on his work, with examples now also including the seamless transition from first- to third-person narratives and varying styles of prose, imparting his own knowledge and musings on the reader via the characters, and even a full collection of original song lyrics.To conclude, ‘Expansion’ has enough in the tank as a standalone title to hold readers’ curiosity – especially with the chapters that relate to Trent’s dreams – and is an imaginative continuation of the ‘READ THIS’ saga, but any fans of ‘Untitled’ hoping for more of the same might be disappointed.
