1 y separately published work icon The Mess In My Head Robert N. Stephenson , Blackwood : Altair Publishing , 2019 18794823 2019 selected work short story

'This collection of short stories captures a time when the author was at his worst with clinical depression (bipolar) and the medication levels were not quite right. All of these stories display more a state of mind rather than any visionary insights into the conditions and how the author dealt with problems arising from the illness.

'The interesting thing would be what was being imagined at a time when the mind wasn't working in a positive or even productive fashion. It isn't impossible to write fictions when your mind is in crash mode, but it is difficult.

'This collection features strange stories, mad stories, visions that are macabre and insights that are touching.'

1 y separately published work icon Uttuku : The Books of Darkness Robert N. Stephenson , Blackwood : Altair Publishing , 2009 10183035 2009 single work novel horror

New York Times best selling author Diana Arlyn was the toast of the town until she ratted out another author. Now, a pariah, she struggles to find love and an answer to a mystery, a murder and suicide, plus the loss of a book. This is urban fantasy like you've never seen it before. There is a greater truth behind the Hollywood depictions, one more darker than we have been led to believe. Uttuku - the way is darkness.
