About The Book
Here Lies Madness: Bizarre Tales of Troubled Minds is a chilling collection of poems. Each poem shows the peculiar personalities, unusual perspectives, and moments of darkness that reveal the hidden sides of us. Some of the content comes from G. Larry Butler’s own experiences, but most are not autobiographical. He believes there are no absolute truths, and he explores hidden or overlooked aspects of life. As a teacher and observer of society, he encourages others to explore different perspectives, even disturbing ones. He shows that madness exists in many forms, personal, social, political, religious, and wants readers to notice these hidden dangers to better understand and cope with them.
