THE MADDENING BY ANDREW FITZPATRICK Why is it that when we dream, we find ourselves caught between three worlds? Firstly, we drift between the subconscious and secondly as we awaken, the subliminal. Lastly more than often we dream all the time as we lie in a state of purgatory where we drift between living and dying. But what is purgatory exactly? A state captured between two worlds such as Heaven or Hell? Or simply as our brain release when dying chemicals Dopamine's that either send us to the promised Heavenly hereafter, or the abandonment of God himself, Hell? Jasmine Andrews sits terrified amid the wreck of her husband's car and watches in horror as her loving husband is murdered before her eyes by three shadowy figures before she too is dragged kicking and screaming from the wreck and subjected to endless hours of rape and other depravities until she too pays the ultimate price. Awakening from her drug induced coma three months later Jasmine swears her dream was real and that both she and her husband are actually dead, or are they? Was it nothing more than a story read by an unsuspecting husband whilst lying in coma? Or were the couple transcending to a Hellish domain of demonic rule by an unseen God. Jasmine would find out once more as again she faces the angel of the abyss and makes her choice. To remain with her husband? Or die? Meet the creepy neighbour Jeffery Andersen and his lust for the twenty-seven-year-old legal secretary and then enter the world where none living are welcome to tread. Enter the world of the maddening. The author Andrew Fitzpatrick.........
