“Are you sure the voice in
your head is always your own?”

A modern-day Odyssey. A modern-day romance. Shades of A 
Clockwork Orange with a shocking end and a surprising
view from inside a man’s split mind, Shallcross tells the story of
a middle-aged car dealer who entertains and haunts himself in a
heated hatchery of colorful phanera, film, and music, spawned
in the auditory and visual hallucinations he’s experienced since
childhood. 

Aubrey Shallcross feels lost after selling his business, but conventional
cures do not seem to help. In his retirement without executive routine,
he and Triple Suiter, his mind’s other voice, ride the good times and
bad, going on long hauls through the sawgrass of his psyche and
engaging in a scary retrospect of Catholicism after journeying from
religious to secular man.                                                                          

Determined to stay sane and happy on his South Florida farm, he
resumes a lifelong passion for training horses, surfing, and music
in his oceanfront county, where big cattle ranches stretch inland to 
Lake Okeechobee. 

Aubrey falls in love with an unusual woman, and they lead a life of
devotion and magic until a rabid stalker, jealous of this love, shoots
out the sun.

“Territory explored for decades by radical thinkers R.D. Laing and Michael
Foucault, and Porter’s skepticism about conventional psychiatric wisdom 
reflects the burgeoning ‘neuro diversity’ movement.”
