When John, a self-destructive nihilist, becomes the only hope for two dying men, one thing is clear: you unite against your enemy if you want a chance to survive.

______________________________________________________________________

John awakes in a nightmare situation.

Not knowing why, he's been trapped inside a pit of darkness with two dying men. His only connection to the outside world is their psychotic captor who gazes down on them in what they call, "The Fishbowl." The other men keep John alive for one reason: He is their only hope for escape.

DEAR JOHN goes beyond your standard escape story as it explores love in all its possible forms, from the most wholesome to the most twisted. Through a series of flashbacks that cap off every chapter, we take our nihilistic, self-destructive main character and slowly bring him back to a time in his life when everything was perfect, in stark contrast with his "now," which is falling apart in the most deadly of ways. It does this with a dark sense of humor and character development that one may not expect from a book of this type.

C/W: Death, murder, torture (mostly starvation), emotional manipulation, references to male rape (not on screen), Stockholm syndrome.

Goodreads Reviews:
""Dear John" is an absolute gut-punch of a physical and emotional journey, with a few truly extraordinary third-act twists that manage to feel at once self-evident and thoroughly shocking. The story moves fluidly between past and present, and the author has rendered the main character so vividly that I both loved and hated him. An incredible read."

"The finale had me gnawing my nails down to the bone, hoping, fearing, wondering how it would all play out. Definitely give this a read!"

"This Novella checks all the hostage boxes. From backwards psychology to starvation. Jane wants to teach male cheater's a lesson in respect. In her fishbowl there are rules and levels of understanding each other. If you want to survive you will learn manners. Someone give this book a mini series."
