Mr. Strong: A Novella

by Alex Tilley

A crippling car accident shatters Elgan’s concept of masculinity as he goes from body builder to body dysmorphic with the inability to feel.

Self-isolation, social anxiety, delusional perceptions of what it is to be a man, Elgan seeks to find purpose in an apathetic and dark world.

My first experience with author Alex Tilley was his amazing Meshkwadoon series and instantly found the style something that just clicked with me. Now with Mr.Strong he brings his atmosphere building skills along with a deep emotional depth to the character of Elgan. The story starts with Elgan priding himself on his appearance and self value. One wrong event and his life changes instantly sending him into an emotional battle of darkness that leaves his body feeling one thing while his mind and sanity ponder his other choice as he now finds himself adrift in life. That is until a chance encounter with Lily. She comes into his life at the height of his emotional turmoil. Will she guide him back to happiness or walk away from his chaos? You’ll have to pick up the novella to find out. You wont be disappointed…
