This is much more than a supernatural story but more one of human relationships and the power that self-doubt can have on your perception of reality. There are such heartwarming passages throughout the story. The twist at the end was a superb example of great storytelling! --- Readers' Favourite. Born with a rare, unusual gift...sentenced to death...confined to a dungeon...persuaded by a priest to write! A condemned man's powerful story, in his own powerful words! *A devastatingly raw, immersive and unforgettable insight into the mind of a young man, days before his execution. From the author described as "a master story-teller!"(Emerald Reviews) and "a sensitive poet who molds language as though on a potter's wheel which results in unspeakably beautiful art."(San Francisco Review Of Books).

Wickfields was the name of an institution that housed children deemed too dangerous to live in regular society. Beyond the Spiral Gates is a raw coming-of-age odyssey, a first-hand account of one boy's experiences at the archaic Wickfields School for Criminal Children. From the idyllic sun-drenched fields of Hayvern to the shadowy hallways of Wickfields, the story delves deep into the epicentre of the human psyche. Starting in the present day with the protagonist as an elderly man and chronic insomniac who struggles to come to terms with his own mortality as he confronts the demons of his youth spent at Wickfields, the story spins us back through the years to where it all began. It's a tale of self-exploration, a redemptive narrative as well as a harrowing love story that does not spare raw emotion as the protagonist grapples with the trauma of the events that shaped that period of his adolescent life. Beyond The Spiral Gates is a gut-wrenching account of one boy's journey of self-discovery, told in an unflinching and engaging voice.
