STIFLE 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, Stifle 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 good apple, 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, Stifle is book of sadness and madness that will haunt. Illustrated by L. E. Mae with ethereal sketches, and told with caustic nostagia, Stifle is a gripping, gutty book that has BEST SELLER written into it.
