Summary

David Masson's 'The Three Devils' is a gripping tale that follows the intertwining fates of three enigmatic characters, exploring themes of morality, ambition, and the human psyche. Written in a dark and brooding literary style reminiscent of the Victorian era, the novel's complex narrative structure and rich character development place it within the tradition of gothic literature. Masson's use of vivid imagery and symbolism adds depth to the story, inviting readers to delve into the psychological depths of the characters. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling society, 'The Three Devils' offers a reflection on the consequences of unchecked power and desire. David Masson, a renowned scholar of literature and philosophy, brings his expertise to bear in this haunting work of fiction. Drawing on his knowledge of classical texts and literary theory, Masson weaves a tale that challenges readers to confront their own assumptions about human nature and morality. His nuanced understanding of the human condition shines through in the intricate character portraits and moral dilemmas that form the heart of the novel. I highly recommend 'The Three Devils' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that delves into the darker aspects of human nature. Masson's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this novel a must-read for fans of gothic fiction and philosophical literature alike.

    What’s Wrong with My Child? reveals a mother’s quest for answers about her son’s psych symptoms that leads to shocking discoveries that could impact struggling families in the United States and possibly globally. Elizabeth Harris’ son Cody was eleven when, out of the blue, he started exhibiting signs of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The OCD turned into something far more sinister when Cody started having episodes where he seemed to lose total control over his actions, leading to Cody being committed to a county youth detention center. There, he was placed in solitary confinement for weeks. For five years, Elizabeth fought a hard battle to find out what was going on with her son and their family while simultaneously battling an unsympathetic judicial system.  Driven to find a cure, Elizabeth visited countless doctors across the USA. She quickly became frustrated by the fact that there was no agreement in the medical community regarding PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Strep), the disease behind Cody’s transformation. In her quest for answers, this science-minded spa owner found proof of weaponized bacteria not only impacting their extended family, but that could be making families around the USA and possibly globally sick as well.

    Born in the Philippines, young Grace Talusan moves with her family to a New England suburb in the 1970s. At school, she confronts racism as one of the few kids with a brown face. At home, the confusion is worse: her grandfather's nightly visits to her room leave her hurt and terrified, and she learns to build a protective wall of silence that maps onto the larger silence practiced by her Catholic Filipino family. Talusan learns as a teenager that her family's legal status in the country has always hung by a thread - for a time, they were "illegal." Family, she's told, must be put first.  
 
The abuse and trauma Talusan suffers as a child affects all her relationships, her mental health, and her relationship with her own body. Later, she learns that her family history is threaded with violence and abuse. And she discovers another devastating family thread: cancer. Despite all this, she finds love, and success as a teacher. On a fellowship, Talusan and her husband return to the Philippines, where she revisits her family's ancestral home and tries to reclaim a lost piece of herself. 
 
Contains mature themes.
