Tales from a Disturbed Mind—Stories of Predators and Survivors in a Hostile World is a roller coaster ride of various short stories exploring the predatory nature of our human existence and how one survives in such a hostile world. The predators in these stories range from the urban street life that threatens the security of a very creative child in "The Importance of Superheroes," to "Enid's Pet," in which a man eating carpet puts a human leech in his proper place. In Tales from a Disturbed Mind the sense of reality in many of the stories often shifts to the point that it’s difficult to know just what is real within the minds of the characters. These stories pull you into a world where there are no boundaries between the real and the imagined--where the irrational becomes the rational and nightmares become reality. After all, sometimes insanity may be the only way to truly survive. To experience what it might be like to have a psychotic break, pick up and read Tales from a Disturbed Mind.
