Obsessive Rage: The Sycamore File

by Ryan Stevenson, Richard Brandeis

Throughout human history, man has always been fascinated with the workings of the human mind. In OBSESSIVE RAGE , authors Ryan Stevenson and Richard Brandeis bring into focus one man’s psychotic obsession, which ultimately leads the reader into a world of the clinically insane. Doctor David Morrissey, an eminent New York psychiatrist, uses past life regression sessions to understand why his patient, Laura, can’t bring herself to sing. In the ensuing sessions with Dr. Morrissey, they unravel a mystery that brings both of them to the edge of insanity. The reader will travel through time, beginning with the depression era in Georgia, and then find himself transported into the present time to confront a murder mystery that took place eighty years prior, only to be confronted with a modern day psychopath. Medical science may never truly understand the human mind and how our emotions can take hold while turning the common man into an individual whose darker side should never have seen the light of day. OBSESSIVE RAGE no doubt will keep the reader on the edge of his seat until the very last page is turned.

Obsessive Rage: The Sycamore File is a twisting and turning book that will always leave you guessing what’s next? Much like an episode of the Twilight Zone or a Christopher Nolan movie, Ryan Stevenson and Richard Brandeis wrote this story to keep you guessing as to what is happening to the very last page. The story is a quick read with many twists and feels much like a TV episode of Twilight Zone as you read. If I share thoughts on the story here, I’ll ruin the shocks, so I’ll just say it starts with an innocent girl in the 1930’s depression, a murder, and then a twist that will take the reader on a journey through psychology issues that will keep you guessing as to what is happening. Stevenson and Brandeis change the voice of the book with each twist, so you really get to know all the different characters and what they are thinking. It is an interesting read and it’s fun to read anything that keeps you guessing to what is going on. I enjoyed the read. At only 182 pages, I read it in only two sittings, keeping me guessing to the end. I really can’t say more without ruining the story. If you enjoy a story with loads of twists and turns, you will really enjoy Obsessive Rage by Stevenson and Brandeis.

I've read a lot of books in my lifetime and have always gravitated to murder mysteries and psychological thrillers. "Obsess Rage The Sycamore File," had me turning pages as fast as I could and the story line takes the reader from 1933 depression era Georgia right up to the present day. If you enjoy a great mystery where the reader never in a million years sees what's coming, I would highly recommend Obsessive Rage. and if you like Alfred Hitchcock, authors Ryan Stevenson and Richard Brandeis have done the master proud. You won't be disappointed.
