Blade in the Shadow does not fall into the trite self-help trope of 'whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger', or claim that the 'gifts' the OCD brings make all the pain worthwhile, but comes to a more realistic and yet optimistic conclusion. It's a memoir full of endurance, hope and love. Ann Rawson, author of A Savage Art and The Witch House.

Author Information

Jillian Halket is a writer from Blackwood, Scotland. Her debut memoir Blade in the Shadow delves into her obsessive compulsive disorder and explores what it is like living with violent intrusive thoughts. She is an advocate for OCD awareness and recovery and was proud to take part in the first Activate Training for Movement for Change, a grassroots campaign by See Me Scotland. By telling her story she is determined to help in the fight against mental health stigma and discrimination. When she is not talking about OCD, she can be found haunting the local bookshop or out in the Scottish countryside with her family and partner. She is a hippie at heart and enjoys anything to do with the occult and the written word.
