The Soul Asylums
A memoir of love, hope and recovery
Sheridan Hough
A mystery virus is spreading fear and isolation across the mainland…
On the run from a life haunted since surviving the Institutions, a washed up writer is searching for answers by the ocean shores…
Can he find redemption in love waiting beyond the shadows of the Soul Asylums?
As the virus and heatwaves sweep the Island, renewed by solitude and rehabilitated by forces found in the natural world, he finds himself seeking his true calling in this compelling and life changing memoir of one man’s journey from heartbreak to rediscovering love, hope and purpose found in the darkest of places.

About the Author...
Sheridan Hough is a journeyman storyteller, blogger, and lifelong mental health campaigner. He began writing The Soul Asylums – A Memoir of Love, Hope and Recovery during the pandemic of 2020, following ‘the breakdown of all breakdowns’ while writing his abandoned debut novel, Luther’s Dream.
The independent publication of his memoir gifted a second chance in life, and the opportunity to finally share this extraordinary story of renewal and resilience, two decades after conquering an epic case of writers block.
Today, Sheridan divides his time between working towards his vision of a Writers for Recovery community, devoting himself to family, and beachcombing by the ocean. And all hours of twilight spent resurrecting the bones of his deep buried ‘great’ novel.
