      In this searingly honest account about addiction, Martin Douglas places his life under a microscope to consider the reasons for his relationship with narcotics and the devastating effect they have had not only on himself but on his family, his friends, and his very concept of what it means to live. After a cataclysmic overdose, two demonic entities present Martin with a panoply of pivotal events in his life, events which have culminated in a choice between living and dying.Throughout this narrative, which is in some places jarring, in others nostalgic, two options are recovery, and a perpetual struggle to quiet the voices within, or relapse, and the possibility of no return. This book is a no holds barred autobiography, an analysis almost, in which the author, with painful candidness and a poetic slant, is forced to look his addiction in its grinning face.

      In 2000, Douglas A. Martin burst onto the American literary scene with his sexy debut novel, Outline of My Lover. Following up with three more books, including Branwell, a novel of the Brontë brother, Martin has established himself as an acclaimed and distinctive American writer of the new century. His semi-autobiographical novel Once You Go Back is about growing up in a strained working-class household transplanted to the South. In his inimitably elliptical and evocative style, Martin carefully brings out the curiosity of children on the verge of becoming sexual, and their confusion in the midst of family violence.
