By Valkyrie Kerry

'Open your eyes to the depth and inner workings of the mind of someone with a mental health diagnosis.' Ciera Vaidya - Author.

A COMBINATION OF UPLIFTING SELF-HELP AND SPIRITUAL ADVICE, AND NIGHTMARISH TALES REFLECTING THE DEPTH OF EXTREME EMOTION. A TRUE REFLECTION OF THE BIPOLAR MIND.

WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT

The Rays in the Storm is a collection of works created by bipolar survivor Valkyrie Kerry between 2015 and 2020, post diagnosis. The first book, Tackling the Bear, is essentially a workbook made up of Kerry's own reflections, motivational quotes, and suggestions on methods to manage the condition.

'A book for the year!' - A. Paula Durkin, Musician.

The workbook offers day to day guides and support in combating the extreme symptoms, and in turning the excess bipolar energies into productive, and creative outputs. Kerry presents her own verses, ideas streaming from a bipolar mind, and explains how she reflected on these thoughts and converted them into holistic healing practices.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
Some of the verses reflect the dark thoughts of a bipolar mind.

The third and fourth books present the spiritual research carried out by Valkyrie Kerry. She openly admits to a morbid fear of death, and the somber thoughts relating to grief. As such, the third and fourth books examine near-death experiences and connections between religious, spiritual advice. Again, these are guidelines. Kerry does not advocate for one particular religion but sees her journey as one of a spiritual nature.

The remaining books are a collection of her chapbooks published during this time, including the original The Rays in the Storm, and number one best-seller Pole to Pole. These tales, verses and short stories were produced post diagnosis, as she turned her deepest thoughts into an art form. The etchings reflect the two extreme poles of the condition, the positive, aesthetically pleasing verses are juxtaposed against the bleak, horrors and visceral nature of her darker tales.

EACH TALE, EACH ETCHING, EACH VERSE REFLECTS A FEELING OR MOMENT IN TIME EXPERIENCED BY THE AUTHOR.

Though the books are vastly contrasting, when read together they offer a true insight into the bipolar mind.

Etchings, scratchings, writings, ramblings, advice, and thoughts from a bipolar mind. Nine books in one, ranging from the sublime to the incredulous, from self-help to dark stories. Insightful and graphically honest.

Some material repeats as some tales appeared in multiple books, the price for the eBook is set accordingly.

Valkyrie Kerry subsequently turned her darker interests into a career, and is now a fandom academic, and a widely published horror author, and member of The Horror Author's Guild, alongside her husband Brett Dyer. Their brand is known as Immortalis. Please connect on Twitter; @JasonVoorheesIM, @Ashy_slashee, and @ImmortalisIM. Thank you.
