It seems to come around quicker every year: it’s time once again for the annual series of postings we like to call Shadows and Reflections, in which our contributors and friends look back on the past twelve months. First up is Brian David Stevens.

Last year my friend John Moore suffered from repeated bouts of mental illness during the recording of his album, It’s Hell Out There and nearly lost his life. Over the last 12 months we’ve been working together making a book about that time, There’s Always Death To Fall Back On. Here are some extracts.

There’s Always Death To Fall Back On is available from The Silverhill Press. Brian will also be selling copies at this year’s Social Christmas Market, which takes place on Saturday 14 December.
