Manorexia Stories

Cameron is hollow, a shadow figure of bones and skin with a spine popped apart, begging to be whole again. The ligaments attaching each bone, however, fizzled out of his life. His father, the girl he loves, his appetite, and the ability to control his life, all once important glue have washed off the surface and down the drain. How will the boy with the damaged ego and hunger pains go on? We may just never know.

Max, diagnosed with anorexic and bulimic tendencies, is just beyond excited to finally leave the clutches of his overbearing, overly religious mother and her hateful ways; however, Max isn't given any time to rejoice in his new freedom because he has done little more than trade one prison for another. "Welcome to the Trenton Live-in Clinic," she says, but to Max, he hears, "Welcome to The Skinny Boy House where the skinny boys tell their tales." Within the walls of the clinic, Max finds himself placed in the middle of a group of boys who all share a similar story. Only time will tell if Max will be able to work toward becoming healthy and possibly find love and acceptance; however, with a darkness constantly looming overhead, the threat of succumbing to his illness and losing the battle over his life is all too real.
