Eli's Descent
()
About this ebook
Eli Teague has nothing going for him, he is unattractive, middle aged and suffering from excessive perspiration.
Plagued with irrational fears, and nightmares of hell and damnation, Eli has to struggle to keep his head in a terrifying world of his own making.
As he continues his morose existence he begins to realise that not all of his nightmares are happening while he sleeps. New, intriguing and not entirely welcome characters enter his life, pushing him further into his obsessions and horrors
Forced to confront his own fears and disgust at his sexual urges and desires, his world descends into debauchery and self loathing. This story charts one mans journey to cope with all the events of his life both tragic and good, and his descent into the hell of insanity.
