Author Description

This quartet of novellas asks the question: What is the line separating madness from sanity? Is mental well-being determined by accepted understandings of success and failure, or is it the product of biological and environmental stressors? In Now I Shall Leave You to Your Fate, Jean Marc Ah-Sen, Liz Harmer, Sophie McCreesh, and Fawn Parker examine the struggles of psychological crisis. A woman is pushed to the brink after witnessing a suicide in a shopping mall, a writer returning home is confronted with memories of her hospitalization in a psychiatric ward, a maladjusted neurotic comes to terms with her presence on social media, and a social outcast agrees to spy on his roommate on behalf of her ex-lover.
