"Mangled characters living out their dead-end love affair. Thwarted at every possible turn by alcohol, drugs and mental illness. The writing is lean and savage, they talk a lot about breaking free but their story is like that last drink of the night - spiked with barbiturates."
--- u.v.ray, author of 'A Cigarette Burn in the Sun"

"Ally North's 'Schizophrenic' is a confirmation of a culture that refuses to acknowledge its shadow self. Regardless of our gender, ethnicity, social background and sexual identity, we all have blood on our hands."
--- David Noone, author of 'Saint of the City'

"'Schizophrenic' is a terrifying yet compelling account of mental illness."
--- Jeffrey P. Frye, author of 'Bank Blogger'

"'Schizophrenic' is a thoroughly engaging novel. You won't be able to put it down. Steve Hussy [and Ally North] has discovered the key to readability. He is a master of realism.”
--- Mark SaFranko, author of 'Lounge Lizard'
