Overview

'Every Last Psycho' contains two tales of two girls; 'Every Last Thought' and 'Psycho Girl.' One girl hears voices screaming in the shadows; the other burns with self-absorbed hunger. Every Last Thought: 'Rocking backwards and forwards; deep breaths in and out' Sixteen year old Tess Davis suffers from schizophrenia, triggered six years ago by the onset of her twin brother's death. She's felt broken ever since. But when new guy Ed moved to her school two years ago, life gave her a reason to live joyously. Ed made her happy, becoming the friend she needed. But she didn't plan to fall in love with him, and love isn't always requited. Distraught by Ed's new girlfriend and a horrific trauma Tess endures, she finds herself spiraling out of control and into cocaine-fueled delusions. Will she be able to regain a grip on life? Psycho Girl: 'Deep inside, I feel nothing. I am nothing.' Eighteen year old Evelyn Baxter is beautiful, confident, popular and well off. Everyone loves her; her friends, her family, her boyfriend. She is all set to apply to the University of Cambridge to study Law. But when another girl in her year gets accepted into Cambridge and she doesn't, Evelyn's perfect mask starts to peel away. Murder, deceit and manipulation show Evelyn to be the monster she truly is. But will those around her realize it? One is the victim of cruelty, the other creates it. One lives in the concrete jungle of London, the other in the suburban town of Bletchfield. Both novellas are in one binding, echoing the dark horrors within.

Reviews

'I thought that Macha was a very good writer and managed to get into the head of her protagonists very well.' - Review from Amy Buckle via amybucklesbookshelf.co.uk 'Both stories are fairly dark and include somewhat mature themes, however Macha handles it in such a way that I believe her stories can still be enjoyed by a wide audience.' - Review from C.M Fritzen via cmfritzenbooks.com 'Great read, I picked it up and could not put it down. Both are such interesting stories and I feel that they do explore mental health well and in a unique way that can be understood.' - Customer Review 'There are few books that take the brave step of expressing mental illness directly from character to reader in the way that Zarina Macha does here.' - Review from Steph Warren via bookshineandreadbows.wordpress.com 'It is very much worth the read and a four-star in my book. Thank you again, Zarina for writing this. It was for sure a pleasure to read it.' - Review from Zephr Devlyn via betweenthesheets.blog 'I've always loved psychological stories and these ones really cut deep. Along with their shock factor they accurately address symptoms of the mental issues the main characters have, adding reality to them.' - Customer Review 'These are outstanding stories written with Hemingway-esque sparseness and honesty. I think novels should be as hard and as bright as diamonds.' - Review from Robert J. Fanshawe, author of 'The Cellist's Friend' 'Despite some of the disturbing nature of their beliefs, actions and ways of reasoning - especially Evelyn's - I found myself sympathising with both young women, and even growing to like them. I am excited to see what other publications Zarina Macha has up her sleeve!' - Customer Review
