Overview

Dreams Are For The Dead is a raw, honest and deeply personal memoir by Author S. Elias W Sharp about surviving childhood abuse and finding a way out of addiction. Told with unflinching clarity and emotional truth, this book traces the author's journey through trauma, self-destruction, and ultimately, healing. This is a book about survival. With vivid scenes, painful memories, and moments of unexpected grace, Sharp invites readers into the silence he carried for years- and the words he finally found to break it. For anyone who's lived through darkness and wondered if change was possible, Dreams Are For The Dead is a powerful reminder: even the most damaged stories can still be told- and still be redeemed. Born and raised in the American South, Sharp's story unfolds in a world where silence was survival, and shame was stitched into the seams of everyday life. Through the pain of abuse and the isolating weight in a place that demanded conformity, Sharp learned early to disappear. What followed was a long descent into self-destruction: addiction, broken relationships, and the quiet belief that his life simply didn't matter. Through shattered moments and unexpected mercies, something began to shift. This memoir traces that transformation not as a clean arc, but as a series of raw, staggering steps. Sharp does not flinch. He does not sugarcoat. Instead, he brings the reader into every dark corner. What emerges is a story both harrowing and holy, filled with brutal truths and the radical act of choosing to speak them aloud.
