Barren: A Novel Between Death and Life

Barren is a powerful and frankly honest novel about life with mental illness. At twenty-six, Everett Little tries to kill himself in a public park, failing by the slimmest of margins, only to wind up fighting for his life against a demonic force. But when this demonic force begins to infiltrate his mind and seize control of his thoughts, it seems he can't any longer tell the difference between reality and the psychotic nightmare his life has become, and his final breakdown begins. A harrowing glimpse into the horrors of mental illness, Barren is a compelling must-read.
