The Everyday Demon chronicles a young woman's life with depression. Readers who know the demon may recognize its silent haunting.

"I don't see anything more than a narrow passageway between two tall overpowering windowless buildings. I'm stuck. There's only darkness, and maybe rain that starts shortly after.... Why would anyone want to enter into my dark alleyway when they can play under the sun?"
