In The Dark Recesses
ASIN: B00R0GFII6
What goes through the mind when we lay awake in the dead of night? What do we see when we stare into the darkness? What do think of? What do we feel deep in our soul? Is the mind playing tricks on us as we drift off into the world of sleep, or is it subtly reminding us of what's really locked inside, and what is pushing to the surface. "In The Dark Recesses..." is a compilation of short prose and poetry that highlights how the mind, both consciously and subconsciously, can work against us, and can sabotage our best efforts to achieve inner peace. Fears, terrors, and nightmares - all playing a part in our restlessness, and casting doubt on what we perceive as real. In the dead of night, and in the dark recesses of the mind, is where misery calls home.

"This is sobering, unsettling content with great risk but also great reward having faced it with an open mind! A pleasure to read!"

What others are saying:
"Once you start reading you won't want to put it down."
"By juxtaposing the mundane with the surreal, the surreal becomes eerily believable."
