Greetings, lovers of literature. I am Robert James Allen, and ever since I was nineteen years old, the literary works of Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Henry David Thoreau have beguiled me. I consider those renowned writers to be the most prolific writers of all time, and I consider my writing to be wholeheartedly inspired by their work. The art of storytelling is in my blood, and I strive to write about topics that resonate in the hearts and minds of all demographics that are struggling in life and feel like they have no voice. Throughout my entire life, I’ve only ever felt solace within the deep recesses of my mind. I now share those recesses to the world in hopes that we may better understand and accept each other’s demons rather than stigmatize and forsake them. The past five years that it took me to write this story have given me a purpose in life. During my darkest of times, I would continue to write this story, and the dismal world around me would suddenly disappear as I began to live within the pages of this story I was creating. This is my debut novel as a published author and the most profound literature I’ve ever written.
