About the Book

The author graphically describes in painful detail what it is like to be constantly controlled by obsessive-compulsive behaviour from many aspects of his life: from childhood with an anxious mother, through school and into employment and marriage, at a time when OCD was virtually undocumented. In middle age, misunderstood by his family and friends and suffering worsening heart disease and addiction to prescribed tranquillisers, his OCD became unmanageable to the point where he became bedridden and isolated for four long years with a severe nervous breakdown, during which time he was virtually ignored by everyone. Only later did he realise that he may have Asperger's Syndrome, which explained his love of detail and complicated subjects as well as the strong obsessive-compulsive component of AS. Born on Halloween 1946, this harrowing account is a window into the author's personal devastating experience of the hidden destructive power of OCD, which historically was thought of as demonic possession. The disturbing result of intimate contact with the detail of reality or the macroscopic manifestation of quantum uncertainty?

About the Author :
The author is a retired microbiologist (bacteriology and cancer research) living near Cambridge in the UK, with a BSc Hons degree in biology & geology.

Books published are two novels: one 1980s mind reading cold war fiction (Cryptic Visions) and a supernatural witches & demons fantasy (The Halloween Chamber), and this, my autobiography of over sixty years of anxiety and severe OCD.
