Hallucinabulia

Hallucinabulia: the Dream Diary of an Unintended Solitarian is the third volume of the Ghosts Trilogy. Like its companion titles—Ghosts and Ballyhoo: Memoirs of a Failed L.A. Music Journalist and Chasing the Last Whale—Volume Three explores the theme of conquering a deeply traumatic past by transforming anger over loss into gratitude for what once was. This very private record was published in order to bear witness, banish, and entertain. The characters introduced in Ghosts and Ballyhoo and romanticized in the novel Chasing the Last Whale are finally set free in Hallucinabulia, being no longer bound by law, nature, or even reality. The resulting arc travels from incomprehensibly brutal to indestructibly optimistic, as intense evil gives way to infinite beauty and good.
