Between Worlds: Between Worlds, A Life of Abduction, Addiction, and Awakening
Posted by Literary Titan

Brian Martin’s Between Worlds is an unflinching memoir wrapped in the surreal. It’s part trauma confession, part spiritual reckoning, and part cosmic fever dream. Martin tells of a life marked by abuse, addiction, strange visitations, and an aching search for meaning. The book opens in darkness, both literal and emotional, moving through scenes of childhood pain, hallucination, and haunting encounters that blend the psychological and the supernatural. As the story unfolds, it shifts from terror to transcendence, revealing a man grappling with his own mind and his memories, questioning what’s real and what’s revelation.
Reading this felt like wading through someone’s nightmares while clutching a flickering flashlight. Martin’s writing hits hard, raw and poetic in turns, and sometimes so vivid that it left me uneasy. His prose can feel chaotic, but that chaos feels intentional, like the inside of a fractured mind trying to make sense of itself. I found myself fascinated. The honesty is brutal. There are no neat answers, no tidy lessons, just waves of memory and madness that force you to sit with discomfort. I respected that. It made the book feel alive, even when it hurt to read.
At the same time, there’s a strange beauty threaded through all that pain. Martin writes about horror with the eye of a poet, and about faith with the heart of a skeptic. I could feel the ache of someone who wants to believe in something, God, magic, UFOs, salvation, but can’t ever quite grasp it. That struggle hit close. The spiritual parts don’t feel preachy. They feel desperate and human. There were moments when I had to pause just to take in how he could write about trauma with such raw tenderness.
Between Worlds is for readers who can handle truth that’s ugly and luminous at once, who don’t mind getting lost in someone else’s storm if it means finding a little light of their own. If you like memoirs that bleed honesty, or stories that blur the line between real and unreal, you’ll remember this one.

The Beyond is Part of the Here Now Book 2
Posted by Literary Titan

The Beyond is Part of the Here Now Book 2 is a collection of stories about ghosts, angels, and encounters with the divine, woven together with Bible verses and personal reflections. Each chapter shares someone’s experience with the supernatural, whether it is a farmer’s ghost appearing in a photograph, an angel warning a man in a Las Vegas casino, or visions of loved ones after death. The author moves easily between storytelling and teaching, connecting these experiences to scripture, faith, and the hope of eternal life. At its heart, the book insists that death is not an end but a doorway, and that love, faith, and God’s presence carry on.
I found myself surprised by how much I enjoyed the storytelling style. The writing feels conversational and simple, and that makes the heavy topics easier to absorb. Sometimes the language is direct, almost blunt, and that works because it gives the stories a raw and sincere tone. The sincerity shines through, and that’s what made me keep turning the pages. I didn’t always agree with the interpretations of events, but I respected the honesty and devotion behind them.
What stood out most to me was the balance between the eerie and the comforting. Some of the ghost stories gave me chills, yet the underlying message was always about God’s protection and the hope of life beyond death. That mix stirred a lot of emotions in me. I felt a strange pull between skepticism and wonder, between wanting proof and letting the mystery be. The book invited me to sit with that tension instead of running from it. There were passages that made me pause, look up, and think about my own life, my own beliefs, and even my own losses.
I’d recommend this book to readers who are open to both faith and the supernatural. If you’ve ever been curious about life after death, or if you find comfort in stories of angels and unseen presences, you’ll find something meaningful here. It would be especially good for someone going through grief, because it offers hope in the middle of loss. Even if you don’t believe every story, the spirit of the book feels like a hand reaching out, saying you’re not alone.
