My short fiction, Worse Than Death, has be published in The Stygian Lepus Edition Nine, a monthly digital and print literary magazine available at https://stygianlepus.com/
The editors advise their content “leans to the dark side” which seemed appropriate for this story.
In Dr. Dennis D. Langton’s long career as a practising psychologist, the case of Scott Myers, a privileged and popular college student, was the most frustrating in regard to the resistance of any form of treatment and the resulting horrific outcome for the patient. Equally bizarre was the trigger, a casual sexual encounter with an enigmatic young woman that led to excruciating pain, disfigurement, attempted suicide and subsequent catatonia.
Worse Than Death is transcribed from Dr. Langton’s clinical notes taken during the course of the treatment.
