Stifle

"e;STIFLE"e; is a moody , abrubt story of mental illness, horrific abuse and a young girl trying to live through it all. Based in part on the author's own life, and reading as stylized fiction, "e;Stifle"e; kidnaps the reader from the first page, then holds them hostage as they embark on a journey to bi polar hill country, where Violet Cussins is holed up in her room, contemplating suicide. Once a "e;good apple"e;, but now bitter as bile and rotten to the core, we see the events that have blighted her soul, and brought her to suicidal desperation. Shockingly graphic, compellingly written, "e;Stifle"e; is book of sadness and madness that will haunt. Illustrated by L. E. Mae with ethereal sketches, and told with caustic nostagia, "e;Stifle"e; is a gripping, gutty book that has "e;BEST SELLER"e; written into it.
