OverviewPSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER, NOVEL OF BLACK HUMOR AND SHATTERED HUMANITY In a Toronto plagued by contrasts, between high-tech glass towers and forgotten alleys, Dr. Thomas Séguin, an atypical psychologist with a simple past and an imperfect future filled with obstacles, embarks on a new career in a futuristic clinic founded by the enigmatic Margaret Rodd. Everything seems under control until the encounter with Mr. William Cox, a stuttering patient with a shifty gaze, whose memories resurface in the form of hallucinations as bewildering as they are unsettling. Throughout strangely lucid sessions, Thomas discovers a parallel world made of enslaved homeless people, manipulated by the Ricci cartel, and a control system far more real than he would have believed. Will the clinic, a refuge for the mind, become the stage for a dangerous pact? Funny, impactful, and tinged with raw tenderness, NUT HEAD explores the blurry areas of mental health, the boundary between madness and lucidity, and the dignity of those whom society prefers not to see. How far will Thomas go to free those considered mad or useless? And who is manipulating whom?

After earning his bachelor's degree, he moved to Ontario to refine his expertise in computer graphics at the renowned Sheridan College in Oakville.Upon certification, he began his career as a graphic designer with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Bell Canada in Toronto. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, he founded his own company, which he successfully led for seventeen years.

A passionate singer-songwriter, he has produced seven albums over the years, four of which are now available on major platforms such as iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube. For him, music has never been just a craft it is a language, a way to convey emotions, stories, and fragments of his inner world. His love for teaching led him to develop his own guitar method, offering students not only technical skills but also a path to awaken their artistic sensitivity and immerse themselves in a world where creativity and emotion meet.Since 2017, Lévis (Québec, Canada) has been his home base, yet his influence extends far beyond borders. As a freelance graphic designer, he collaborates with clients across Canada, the United States, and Europe, bringing to every project his artistic eye, meticulous attention to detail, and inventive spirit. Between musical compositions, visual creations, and literary explorations, Mario continues to build a universe both cohesive and abundant where every art form engages in dialogue with the others, revealing his relentless drive for creation and sharing.In 2025, he takes a bold new step into literature with NUT HEAD and PUPPET, launching a series of psychological thrillers where intrigue, mystery, and dark humour intertwine with a deep exploration of the human psyche. Readers are drawn into stories where memory, control, and destiny become entangled where every character struggles against unseen forces and reality fractures to reveal a vaster, more unsettling world. The saga continues in 2026 with VAUDOU, followed by CORPUS and EXODEUS in 2027 works that confirm Mario Pronovost's singular voice and narrative power, capable of captivating and transporting readers from the very first pages.An insatiable artist, Mario Pronovost never ceases to push the boundaries of his creativity, blending music, design, and literature to create immersive, unforgettable experiences. His life, like his work, is a constant exploration of possibilities an invitation to dive into worlds where memory becomes a territory, imagination reigns supreme, and every creation tells a fragment of its creator's soul.
