About the author
John Watson
16 books121 followersAs well as robots, clowns, and living statues, John Watson has an extensive list of things that terrify him. He is of the belief that writing about these horrors will make him immune to their evils, but it is still a work in progress. Mr. Watson spends most of his time hiding out in the closet space beneath the stairs, where he is currently working on a series of scary short stories. He resides in Atlanta with his chef wife Penny and a pair of equally skittish fur babies.

Another great book
Another great short book by a very talented author who always draws you in with every word. He takes something very serious like mental health and takes it a step further adding a fictional spin which is very creative. Highly recommend.

I loved the journal style of this book. It makes it so easy to read and makes you feel closer to the MC. Reading his daily thoughts and feeling the hope and then watching it fade out as he slowly deteriorates. It’s like being on the rollercoaster with him. The scenes at the PD with his wife really adds to the story. It gives the reader a look at what is currently happening and then we dive right back into Brad's thoughts.
There were some stomach-churning moments in the book for me which was nice to see from Watson. He’s a vivid writer anyway so this takes things to the next level.
