The Butcherbird Tree by Steven Richard Harris
It´s nineteen ninety-four. The year that eighteen-year-old Simon Webb first openly expresses the desire to end his own life. Psychologist Frank Newman tries desperately to find a way to reverse the spiral of destructive thoughts, self-harm and the violent dreams that are consuming his enigmatic client.
These emotionally-charged sessions soon turn into something more sinister, however, after a near-death experience begins to unravel the true meaning of Simon´s brutal nightmares.
Inspired by real events and written with genuine emotion reflecting the author´s own experiences with mental health, this debut novel is the first book in a two-part series that blurs the boundaries between commercial fiction, psychology, parapsychology and thriller.
