About
"The old script was wearing thin." Killswitch throws its readers into the shoes and behind the eyes of David, a young man struggling with his own identity and stumbling in a dream like trance through a world that makes no sense to him. He tries to lead his tight-knit group of friends to safety but meets with constant frustration, perpetually loosing ground to the more powerful forces of established authority, physical afflictions, and the pressures of time itself. A passionately written work, harshly jaded and endearingly optimistic at the same time, Killswitch is a rich and complex character novel that paints a picture of a generation trapped within its own self destructive cycles, giving voice to its desperate cry. "I stopped for a second just to stop, just to stand there and breathe and I wondered why everything couldn't be like that, why everything couldn't have that same intangible beauty that's impossible to explain but at the same time the culmination of everything that I have ever known that is good."
