A Scream in the Vacuum, Volume 2

In this second volume of unfiltered reflections, Mathan Subbiah, author, thinker, and lifelong survivor of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, continues his raw exploration of mental illness, love, loneliness, and the broken systems that surround us. With piercing clarity and emotional depth, these verses and musings offer a voice for those living with invisible pain, struggling to make sense of a world that often feels absurd. Mathan strips away pretense to reveal moments of sharp truth, sometimes haunting, sometimes quietly profound. His writing neither pleads for sympathy nor poses as philosophy; it simply is, honest, disarming, and urgent. For anyone who has ever questioned their place in society, wrestled with reality, or sat quietly in the ruins of their own thoughts, this collection might feel like someone finally speaking their language. A Scream in the Vacuum: Volume 2 is not about answers. It is about presence. About bearing witness to a mind still burning, still writing.

Mathan Subbiah holds a BE in mechanical engineering and an MBA, and he explores life, relationships, man-made systems, love, and religious dogma in his debut book, A Scream in the Vacuum.
