    a wry, hallucinatory novel about one man's misguided attempt to flee the wreckage of his life - and what he finds instead. Lodge Gratz has had enough. Orphaned, recently divorced, and quietly convinced he's dying of a slow, invisible illness he traces back to the dust of September 11th, Lodge does what any desperate, spiritually curious New Yorker might do: he buys a one-way ticket into the Amazon jungle. What follows is not a neat arc of healing, but a humid, often absurd plunge into ritual, ceremony, and the myth of reinvention. As Lodge stumbles barefoot through the unfamiliar terrain of ayahuasca retreats, silent guides, and his own crumbling psyche, he begins to confront the very thing he was trying to outrun: himself. Told in a voice that's as sharp as it is compassionate, Holidays, Travel, and Other Misconceptions explores how we project meaning onto holidays, travel, and transformation - and how those projections, shaped by personal trauma and cultural noise, often obscure the quieter truths hiding in plain sight. It's a story about grief disguised as escape, about the rituals we inherit and the ones we invent, and about what's left when the curated version of ourselves finally collapses.

    Struggling to find work, Isaac Hobbs reluctantly agrees to participate as a subject in a psychological study. The premise is simple: he will be locked in a room with a stranger for a month, disallowed to make contact with the outside world. Things start off relatively benign, although his cohabitant is anything but an open book. What begins as mere suspicion develops into full-blown paranoia as Isaac slowly discovers more and more about his roommate. Does the stranger pose a threat to Isaac's safety? Or does the danger reside in Isaac's own mind? Join the experiment as a proverbial fly-on-the-wall in this psychological thriller about man and his demons, both within and without. Note from the author: New chapters will be published on Sundays. Hope you enjoy :)

    ON HOLD "I just want to be loved, Will, that's all. That's what I wanted from them. But they wouldn't share like mother taught-so I stopped playing nice and- took what I needed myself. And now that I have, Will, do you-do you think you could love me too?" Will is a young soldier who finds himself separated from his comrades after a broken and bloody battle. He journeys across unknown territory in the hopes of finding some answers when he comes across Victor, a blind farmer in need of help. Will learns that not all is as seems, especially when it comes to the innocent old man and his daughter who despises him. The wind whispers dark secrets to Will, who learns that there is more to the clumsy Victor than meets the eye. Despite all the farm's warnings, Will finds his curiosity ensnared by the horrific knots that cage Victor's sanity. And it is when Will discovers the final piece, that he finds himself trapped in a vicious, dark comedy within a broken mind.
