Book excerpt: Description'Nine Stop Trip' is Adam Byfield's collection of nine short stories which he has cleverly spun into a single, cohesive piece of work describing his journey through depression and recovery. As you'd expect 'Nine Stop Trip' contains nine excellently written and imaginative short stories: Some of the highlights: Beauty - A suicide note relates a story that is both dark and strange while critically echoing popular culture's attitude towards beauty.Time To Reflect - A secret diary gives the reader a snatched glance into the world of a madman.In The Picture In The House - After receiving a bizarre photograph in the post a photographer is compelled to hunt down the picture's setting, no matter how much it may cost. Deepdowngone - An individual struggling in their own life escapes more and more into their hobby, the 'cut-up/fold-in' style of literature made famous by William Burroughs, but the pastime quickly becomes a crutch as emotional expression gets harder and harder. About the AuthorAdam Byfield is 28, currently works for the Leeds City Council's Refugee & Asylum Service and is Vice Chair of Amnesty International Leeds. He also holds a masters degree in physics and astrophysics but writing is his real passion. Adam has experienced clinical depression since his early childhood but this was not officially recognised until a couple of years ago when a GP diagnosed him as having a 'chemical imbalance' in his brain. Having always refused medication (and the side effects that accompany the pills) Adam has instead received counselling from both voluntary community organisations and the NHS. Adam feels that this counselling, and his writing, has made real difference.
