Michael Horton
Book Series:

n/a
First Edition
For twenty years, poor Henry has undergone invasive medical treatment, scores of counselors, and psychiatric labels following the witnessed violent death of his mother from when he was still very young. The diagnosis that stuck the longest was “undefined, medication-resistant psychosis.” Since aged five-years-old, family and professionals have barely tolerated what they believe to be his persistent music-loving, dancing female hallucination.
Now, as an adult, Henry is exceedingly gentle, helpful to everyone, and is an ideal employee always looking out for the environment and others’ feelings. At the same time, Henry’s childhood imaginary friend has grown up with him, he has fallen in love with her, and, with increasing regularity, she arises from the “Vasty Deep,” appearing only to him, as people around him begin to die, get murdered, or simply disappear. Henry passionately insists that his childhood imaginary friend is real, but this time his imaginary friend just might allow him to die to achieve her desires.
