Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Silence Where You Should Be is a haunting exploration of love that never quite becomes real-of connections imagined, words unspoken, and intimacy that exists only in the fragile space between longing and memory.Through a series of dark, introspective poems, Rodney Hatfield Jr. traces the quiet unraveling of a heart devoted to what it cannot have. These verses move through shadow and desire, where absence takes on weight, where silence speaks louder than confession, and where love lingers not in shared moments, but in the ache of what never came to be.Blurring the line between devotion and illusion, this collection captures the psychology of yearning-of building someone from fragments, of holding onto a presence that was never truly there. Each poem becomes a reflection of the mind's ability to create, distort, and cling, even in the face of emptiness.For those who have loved in silence, who have felt deeply without return, and who have carried someone in thought long after they were gone-or never arrived at all-this chapbook offers a mirror, a confession, and a quiet understanding. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the gray winter of 1949, Harold Weston checks into the Present Mental and Psychiatric Hospital with nothing more than a suitcase, and a quiet hope that a few weeks of rest will mend his frayed nerves. What begins as a simple diary of recovery soon descends into one of the most chilling and unforgettable psychological horror stories of our time."Diary of a Patient of the Present Mental and Psychiatric Hospital" by Rodney Hatfield Jr. is a devastating first-person chronicle that pulls the reader deep into the locked wards, cold hydrotherapy tubs, insulin comas, and relentless electroconvulsive treatments of a post-war American asylum. Through Harold's own handwritten entries, we witness the slow erosion of a man's identity. Day by day, week by week, month by month, the treatments meant to heal him instead strip away his memories, his voice, his very sense of self. The locked doors that once seemed like a minor inconvenience become symbols of something far more sinister. The friendly nurses and doctors gradually reveal themselves as architects of a system that values compliance over compassion and control over cure. Yet as life tighten, that fragile hope begins to crack.What makes this book so profoundly disturbing is not merely the graphic depiction of outdated psychiatric practices. It is the quiet, intimate way Harold's humanity drains away page after page. We watch him form tentative friendships with Tony, whose hands tremble; with Mary, who battles nightmares; with William, the former schoolteacher who becomes his only confidant. We feel his growing isolation as one by one his companions are discharged, transferred, or simply disappear. We share his dawning realization that the hospital is not a place of healing but a machine designed to break and remake patients into something manageable, something quiet, something less.Rodney Hatfield Jr., a West Virginia essayist, horrorist, and humorist, has crafted a narrative that is both historically grounded and relentlessly haunting. Drawing on the real terrors of mid-century institutional psychiatry (hydrotherapy, insulin coma therapy, electroshock, and the looming threat of leucotomy), he delivers a story that feels painfully authentic. The journal format allows the horror to unfold gradually, naturally, and with devastating emotional precision.This is not a story that relies on cheap scares or supernatural gimmicks. Its power lies in its realism and its empathy. Harold's voice remains remarkably human even as it fragments: hopeful at first, then fearful, then resigned, and finally a desperate attempt to hold onto any scrap of identity."Diary of a Patient of the Present Mental and Psychiatric Hospital" is a literary horror masterpiece that will leave readers questioning the thin line between treatment and torment, between healing and erasure. It is a profound meditation on memory, autonomy, and the cost of "progress" in mental health care. For fans of slow-burn psychological horror, historical fiction with a dark heart, and stories that linger like a chill that never quite leaves the bones, this book is essential reading. Rodney Hatfield Jr. has delivered a work of rare power. In an era when we still debate how best to care for the troubled mind, his novel serves as both a cautionary tale and a deeply human cry from the past that refuses to be silenced. Pick up this diary. Open its pages. And prepare to lose a little piece of yourself with Harold Weston, patient 0325, as he walks the long, locked corridor toward whatever awaits him. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What if the most important moments in life are the ones no one ever notices?In a quiet town called Present, Pastor Cris Noel wakes up each morning with the same simple thought: another day alive. There are no crowds waiting for him, no grand events planned, and no promise that anything extraordinary will happen. Instead, there are people. Real people. Hurting people. Tired people. Faithful people just trying to make it through one more day.As Cris moves through his week, he sits at kitchen tables, listens to quiet struggles, and walks beside those who feel forgotten. An elderly woman worries about her grandson. A husband fights to breathe while his wife tries to stay strong. A new mother wonders if she is doing anything right. In each moment, Cris does not bring easy answers. He brings something else. Presence. Patience. And a steady faith that never rushes or forces its way in.There are no dramatic miracles here. No sudden turnarounds. Just the quiet, powerful truth that showing up for someone matters more than we think.Same Grace, Different Day is a deeply human story about faith lived out in ordinary life. It is about the small kindnesses that hold people together, the unseen prayers that carry more weight than words, and the simple truth that grace does not change, even when the days do.If you have ever felt overwhelmed, overlooked, or just worn down by life, this story will remind you of something easy to forget: You are not alone.And sometimes, just getting through the day is enough.
