Mental illness is a macabre malady that affects many indiscriminately. But how we react to those afflicted isn’t. How many times have we heard “pull yourself up from your boot straps, get back in the foxhole and suck it up buttercup” in response to a man trapped in the trenches of his mind? This anthology explores the dark tunnels and the dreadful claustrophobia of being wrapped in madness. Come with us as we traverse the gloom and dust and step across the threshold into the minds of men who just couldn’t suck it up anymore.

Leslie Kurt is an award-nominated author of extreme and erotic horror. He grew up in eastern Ohio near the West Virginia border, right on the bank of the Ohio River. This is where he developed his Charles Manson accent, which he has been unable to shake. He grew up hunting, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors. When he isn’t writing, you can find him outdoors doing those same activities he loved growing up or playing with his black labrador retriever, “Shadow.” Leslie is a marketer who writes ad copy, blogs, and magazine articles. He also has a background as an engineer. Most of his stories are set in the suburbs of Atlanta and northern rural Georgia. This is where he has lived and where he lives now, respectively.
