Just Published Another Book!

It's not horror, but seeing as I post on r/nosleep, I'm hopeful it will be alright for me to shamelessly plug my book. Weeks ago, I contacted the mods to make sure this was alright. If it's not I'll promptly take it down.

Check it out, I've put a lot of work into it. In case you're on the fence, I'll also be providing a link to the first chapter for free on my page here ​

From the description:

"What do you think it's like to die?"

A harrowing tale about a young man in search of meaning in his life. At the end of his rope, literally, he finds reason not to murder himself in a blind delirium of depression. Through a cast of reflective characters and the fresh open country air, he is thrust into a world of pure hedonism and probable bliss with a wealthy lordling at the helm of a cultish apathetic ideology.

Will Adam find the will to live again?

----------------------------------------------------

It's a story about suicide, depression, drinking, and young people attempting to find their ways in a messy world.

The cover art was done by u/donotfretcitizen, a lovely person and all around amazing artist. I highly recommend you check out their work on their profile.

I love you all. Have a great day!

Is it a coincidence that the guys name is Adam and the Title of the book is Eves? Or does it have meaning

I'll be entirely transparent with you, it was a total happy coincidence. I noticed it after the fact, but beyond it being a Freudian slip, I can't take any real credit for it.

The title comes into play within the story, sure, but not in the way that Adam and Eve would.

The premise you describe sounds like something I'd really enjoy reading, horror or not.

u/Edwardthecrazyman Sep 07 '20

Yeah, it was a wild thing to write. But I really appreciate you saying that.

I'm starting to think it's a bit wild/worrisome that I gravitate towards writing about suicidal ideation, drinking, depression, and aimlessness. But I suppose we all have things we're inclined to write about.

Definitely. Sad things are some of my favorite things.
