The Mess in My Head

This collection of short stories captures a time when the author was at his worst with clinical depression (bipolar) and the medication levels were not quite right. All of these stories display more a state of mind rather than any visionary insights into the conditions and how the author dealt with problems arising from the illness. The interesting thing would be what was being imagined at a time when the mind wasn't working in a positive or even productive fashion. It isn't impossible to write fictions when your mind is in crash mode but it is difficult. This collection features strange stories mad stories visions that are macabre and insights that are touching. 500 000 words were written in the short story format and while some are available in other collections all these are unique to this collection. The Mess in My Head is a journey and one that unexpectedly delivers on its promise. To be strange.
