Only upon publication do I realise this book's genre: Horror The first part of this book Am is only a fragment of a book I wrote largely in the eighties about my search for my mind after a serious mental breakdown after leaving Oxford University in 1976, my subsequent conversion to Christianity and the development of a personal relationship with Jesus.It also describes some of the relationships in my life, my mother, my father, my ex wife and my brothers and sisters, plus a few friends, and associates.Their names are disguised It is written in broken language to evoke my mentality at the...

Only upon publication have I realised this book's genre: Horror This is a biographical book about the people in my life in the 70's and 80's after my marriage broke up, and an attempt to fictionalise all those relationships because I had been invalidated by a diagnosis of a mental illness, leading me to believe that the only way forward for me was through art-it still is the case today.Also it is the development of my personal relationship with Jesus leading to my conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1986

This is volume 3 of my sprawling novel Am.I have only realised upon publcation that its genre is Horror It isabout a sort of positive nihilism and explores ideas of the self, philosophy of what is real and unreal and relationships and family.It was an attempt to make sense of a life cut short by illness and mainly asks the question over and over again: "What is the point of life, is it worth living?"I have an answer to that question now, yes it is worth living because the alternative, a long drawn out slow death is not an option I wish to take.I have considered it but have decided "To choose...

This is Am Volume 4.It hardly mentions Am, but he haunts the tale.This is a horror story.Am is an alter ego of mine.And this volume is still about him although in this volume it is in the form of a story about an imaginary wife of mine-Sarah, and her dysfunctional family, with husband John and children Mary and Paul.The book talks a lot about religion- AM speaks. He is, as described in other volumes through the monsters Jale, Beester and Crowndser a complete selfish monster This is a book that lives a nightmare and exudes false religion.Maybe it is supernatural horror. St Paul's letter to the...

This AM Volume 5 is largely diary.However the person that is speaking, although I wrote the words-that person is AM, not me, as I am now The person on the cover is me, Simon Plant, I am not AM Who is AM?Its not me, but "I" wrote the words.The mystery deepens.These words were written in the 80's as a way of coping with mental illness.The sentiments expressed in these lines I don't really identify with anymore because, after I became a Catholic in 1986, AM was laid to rest i.e.I did no more work on the novel.The manuscript was forgotten by me for 20 years, to be quite frank I thought it was...
