​An Autobiographical Novel About Trauma and Belief

Deadweight places the reader in the heart and mind of a young adult with a fragile self-identity. The novel's unconventional plot revolves around the personality development of the author, and how he played different characters to shape the desolate emptiness he felt inside. As the story develops, it offers clues as to the underlying forces shaping his depression, delusions and dissociation, and the many other symptoms he experienced. Nick’s life reflects the effects of a warring family, drug use, and early exposure to the occult.

Deadweight represents those on the fringe, who experience psychosis or self-harm, and who often fall through the cracks. For the curious reader, it reveals how trauma and belief can devastate a promising young life.
