In Dr. Reader, Andrew Campbell delivers a haunting psychological portrait of Dr. Simon Reader, a renowned psychologist celebrated for his groundbreaking insights into the human mind. Outwardly, Dr. Reader appears to have it all—prestige, influence, and a thriving career—but beneath his composed exterior lies a man struggling with unresolved trauma and the heavy burden of his own past.
As Dr. Reader counsels patients through their darkest moments, he begins to unravel under the weight of his hidden demons. A series of unsettling events forces him into an unwilling confrontation with the truths he has long suppressed. The boundary between doctor and patient blurs, and the line between reality and delusion begins to fracture.
Through elegant prose and a layered narrative, Campbell explores the fragility of the human psyche, the dangers of intellectual hubris, and the inescapable nature of self-deception. Dr. Reader is a compelling examination of identity, vulnerability, and the silent battles waged behind polished facades.
