Part short novel, part novella, part novelette, with a few short stories and fables in between, Psychotropic Dragon is a mind-bending composite narrative about Julie Stipes and her experience with the street drug Drakein-5. The psychotropic eye drops blur reality, sending her through a horrific journey of self-discovery and recovery. Each act in this ensemble is further brought to life with illustrations by Daniele Serra, Glenn Chadbourne, L.A. Spooner, and Ty Scheuerman. An addictive, scary, and mind-bending experience.From the mind of Michael Bailey, author of Palindrome Hannah, Phoenix Rose, and various short fiction and poetry collections, Psychotropic Dragon brings all his work together
We follow the life of Julie Stipes and her experiences using the street drug Drakein-5. Instead of shooting it up, she takes it as eye drops. Her experiences and adventures during her “trips” are intense, severely twisted, and at times, confusing.The author, Michael Bailey, crafts a complex story around Drakein-5 and the effects and consequences of using it. At times, I almost felt as if I were present in the story and had a hard time distinguishing events. Bailey was very graphic in his details leaving no doubts. The plot twists were well-executed and intense. The characters were well-developed yet leaving enough uncertainty to be intriguing.The narrator, Sarah Grace, was excellent! She spoke clearly and evenly using her delivery to communicate the emotions and actions of the narrative. Her deliberate pausing and cadence were captivating and made the effects of the drug realistic. I have not had the pleasure of hearing her perform before but I look forward to hearing more from her.The narrative was complete with graphic details of situations that leave the listener a bit wide-eyed and tense! This is an intense book for folks who enjoy mind-bending experiences.There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
