Snail Vixen and The Crystal Garden

Casey Renee Kiser

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Confessional, punk and quite Wonderland-ish, a romp through The Crystal Garden and you won’t be the same...this snail is part dragon and breathes fire. A strange and original collection that dares to detail the fine line of what can be considered mental illness in our society, when we dig deeper. 'Snail Vixen' explores the disturbing swirl of innocence and trauma when there is covert emotional abuse as a child, as well as the side effects that carry over into adulthood: paranoia, isolation and suicidal tendencies. A reading trip you can't compare to anything else. --RaVenGh o st Press Digital copy avail on Etsy. Official: Simple, yet mysterious and playful, Casey takes you on a slow ride.
