The Book of Surreal Sadness

by Sir Contra, Agnes Cserhati (Editor), Lo The Stars Collector (Illustrator)

Overview

Child abuse, trauma, love, and an end to it all. The after-effects of abuse can change a person's life entirely and affect how they are able to deal with day-to-day life and relationships. A child goes through harsh abuse and is left to learn how to cope with it afterward. The effects bleed into their adulthood, causing a myriad of issues and deep despair to form. Momentarily, the person experiences relief through love from what they endured in their youth, but that too is brought to an unwanted and unfortunate end. Adding onto what misery already existed, the adult attempts to deal with new torturous feelings of heartbreak, distrust, and longing. The only solution that could be thought of is one they feel to be unforgivable and irredeemable. What choices are played out, and what path is laid for a broken soul? In this book, the catalyst and effects are explored and revealed, leaving nothing untouched.

About the Author

Sir Contra is an author who lives in Arizona in the United States. He was born in Michigan but moved to the state of Arizona when he was four years old. His original goal in life was to study animation and become an animator. Whether fortunate or otherwise, he found that along the way he no longer had the burning passion for that form of art. He felt as though there was a better way for him to release his thoughts to where they could be better interpreted. And so, in the year 2020, he started to write short stories and poems. Each comprised of what emotion he was feeling at the moment. Fast forward a couple of years later, and he had reached the point where he had enough short stories and poems to compile a book! Although it took some courage, as he was forced to relive some crucial moments in his life, he realized that in the end, it was all worth it. And now he wishes to present his thoughts, feelings, and past with you in hopes you enjoy his creation.
