"My brother saw the face of God. You never recover from a trauma like that."
Set in Tidewater, Virginia, in the 1980s and early 1990s, 'Angelhead' documents the violent, drug-addled descent of the author's brother, Michael, into paranoid schizophrenia. From Michael's first psychotic break aged 14 - out of his mind on acid, seeing God in his suburban bedroom window - through a series of petty crimes, bizarre disappearances, and suicide attempts, to the shocking crime that landed him in the psychiatric wing of a maximum-security prison, 'Angelhead' enables us to witness first-hand, as never before, the fragmenting of a mind and a family.
