About this listen

"This book is simply exquisite, there are no other words for it."

I wrote this before I knew I had ADHD. I have a secret. I am mad. Not crazy or bonkers or daft. Just mad. You wouldn't know it to look at me or talk to me or even be in a loving long-term relationship with me, but I can assure you, I have the darkness.

.. Witness Lauren Swan's descent into mental health chaos and demonic possession. Keeping a secret of her pain and self-harming is taking its toll on Lauren. She finally feels like she might be brave enough to confide in her mother, who reveals a devastating secret of her own. Pushing her own problems deep back inside, Lauren braces herself for battle…

In The Device, The Devil and Me, Stephanie Taylor takes readers on an emotional journey through the complexities of mental health. The book offers an intimate look at one woman’s struggle, showcasing the highs and lows that come with battling inner demons. What stands out most in Taylor's narrative is her ability to let you read about mental health with raw honesty.

What makes Taylor’s work even more remarkable is its forward-thinking approach to mental health, especially considering it was written 16 years ago, at a time when discussions around mental well-being were not as open or normalised.

The emotional rollercoaster in the book is palpable, with moments of hope and despair intricately woven into the narrative. Taylor captures the unpredictability of mental health, making it clear that the path to recovery is not linear. It’s this honesty about the challenges and triumphs that make the book resonate deeply.

In a world where mental health discussions have become a bit open, Stephanie Taylor’s book remains an important read. It’s not only a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come, but also a testament to the power of storytelling in shedding light on personal and collective struggles.
