Madhouse Fog: A Novel

Unfortunately, it took me another six years to finish the draft, go through all the revisions, get the book published, and have it released. We talked about my early Madhouse draft during the Confederations Cup. The very next day, Clint Dempsey turned it on.

He became one of the heroes of the tournament and the US nearly beat Brazil to win the whole thing. All of my early enthusiasm about Clint Dempsey as a player is coming to fruition. Leander Schaerlaeckens wrote a great piece about him this morning. Of course, I know that I can buy books online any time I want.

Usually, books are cheaper online. I want brand new books that I can pour my energy into. I want to see and hold the book before I buy it, if at all possible. Skylight makes that possible. I carry around a mental list of books I want. Skylight always has more books on that list than I have money to spend. As I was paying for those books last week, the guy at the counter saw my Razorcake shirt and told me that they were hosting an event with Razorcake on June He told me I should come.

The event is my book release. And nothing makes you feel more hopeful about an event than a bookstore employee plugging it a month in advance. That was almost as cool as the time several years ago when I was buying books at Skylight with my debit card. Are you that guy? She asked me to sign the copies in stock. I did, feeling like a big-time guy with every stroke of the pen. The next time I went into Skylight after that incident, my signed copies had sold. Skylight reordered the books, and new copies were on the shelves.

If only every bookstore were Skylight. What makes them a great bookstore is their attitude. My wife was working in a psych hospital when I wrote the first draft of Madhouse Fog. We ate together there several times before the summer ended and I started teaching on Tuesdays.

When I ate lunch with my wife, I also ate with the patients. My wife also took me on a tour of the hospital once.

She used her key fob to get me into all the different buildings housing patients who ranged from very low functioning to very high functioning. A lot of the patients came in and out of the hospital for a very short time: Seventy-two hours is the length of a state-sponsored involuntary hold. If you attempt suicide or otherwise demonstrate that your psychological health is a danger to yourself or others, you can get a seventy-two hour stay at this hospital.

Because most of the patients I saw were high-functioning and because they wore their regular clothes, they looked more or less like the crowd at the county fair. The tour my wife gave me was brief. Soon, the narrator is enmeshed in a struggle between Dr. Bishop, a brilliant, batty research psychologist, and Frank Walters, a dapper blind advertising executive who believes that Dr. It is up to the narrator to make sure that Frank Walters is unable to harness the findings for questionable ends, as he begins a metaphysical journey that may lead him to murder.

I loved this novel! Dick Award-Winning author of Strange Toys. His writing has a real warmth of spirit, and the kind of deft observation that changes the way you see things long after you leave the page. The San Diego City Beat. Thoroughly enjoying this book. And, congrats on completing? A mix of coming to terms with reality while battling the absurd nature of modern day ads, Madhouse Fog has the unique effect of being educative and enlightening. The first half of the book presents facts that are blended into theory in the second half. An enjoyable book with an interesting twist that makes the mind wonder long after it's over.

I highly recommend this book for both young twenty-somethings and anyone with curious about the mind. Jun 20, Mike Randall rated it it was ok. Well written, but a pretty cheesy concept I had a hard time getting behind. Dec 18, Jackson rated it really liked it. A really interesting, bizarre book with great characters and a terrific plot that goes in directions I never saw coming. An interesting take on both the mental health and advertising fields too.
