The Therapist cover

In this bittersweet and hauntingly surreal tale, a couple finds the distance between them mirrored in a strange epidemic sweeping the globe. Little by little, each victim becomes transparent, their heart beating behind a visible rib cage, an intricate network of nerves left hanging in mid-air. Finally, the victims disappear entirely, never to be seen again.

'If the population of the world had vanished while I was reading Nial Giacomelli's beautifully observed novella, I'm not sure I would have noticed. It's that good' –Christopher Stanley, author of The Forest is Hungry

'The narrative drive is perfectly pitched, conveying an urgency that carries us irresistibly along while at the same time fearlessly confronting and challenging us' –Dr Meredith Miller, literary critic and author of Little Wrecks
