LOL Finished the second chapter and then I put it down. The 1st chapter frightened me, quite a bit. Then the author delved into his childhood which was a welcome change from the intensity of the 1st chapter. I met the author at a horror convention at the authors table and we spoke for a bit and the way he described his book and what he went through and seen, I just couldn't understand it at the time.

I saw someone else writing a review like this so I figured I would follow suit. The chapters are pretty quick and I'm nestling in to read the 3rd now. Kids are in bed and hubbie is watching TV so lets see if how long I can read, before I take a break.

11/16/11 Made it to chapter 15 or 17. Their not numbered so I am guessing. It's four in the morning.I had to keep reading until I get to where I stopped. I'm freaking out a bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing this now.I don't know what to say. It feels like a H.P. Lovecraft book but fer believers in God. I have never read anything like this before. I don't know what to say... I didn't expect this from an indie book. I'm questioning everything about myself and my life.

11/17/11 I was wrong with the dates on the above reviews so I fixed them. I read another 5 chapters because I could only stay up till now but I'm exhasperated. Did I even spell that right? I don't know what to say... Hellucination has been a book that takes me on so many different levels and I'm actually frightened for once, reading a book. I don't know if it's the honesty, that Stephen put into the book, to showcase his life before he delved into his mind and alternate realities. IS it the reincarnation he experienced or was it when he split his mind, unleashing the Id and the Superego that almost destroyed him.

I don't know what to think anymore... I hear the voices that talk to me, but they are just thoughts and I never wanted to think of them as actual demons and angels talking to me. I don't know what to think anymore... I just have to keep reading... I don't want to even mention his encounter by Satan... I need to read the rest...

11/18/11 I finished it. I don't know how to put this into words. I am amazed and startled and right now I don't know what to think. I believe in God but not really the devil but I do now. I don't know why Stephen was picked to met and to find God and to go thru the Hell he went through but after reading this book, I can see why. I don't think anyone else could have done this justice. ...more "
