The stories in this book were inspired by real-life events. Some are loose interpretations of my nightmares and experiences, and others are dark memoirs. All were designed to evoke emotion. Longing, fear, remorse, desperation, and of course, anxiety, are a few of the horrors we all face and the ones from which there is often no escape. These stories were written during the most difficult periods in my life. Addiction, incarceration, and depression are the demons of which I speak. Creating this compilation became the tool I used to overcome these demons. This is the product of that struggle. This is Manxiety. "Part memoir, part fever dream, the line between reality and fiction is blurred into an evocative slurry where both exist at once. It doesn't matter which is which, the emotions that remain are enough to ensure the tales within will linger long after the book is closed." M Ennenbach - Author of Dreamwhispers
