Inside the Beautiful Inside by Emily Bullock

17 June 2020 By Editor

A marine without his ship. A man without his liberty.

Buy Inside the Beautiful Inside by Emily Bullock

When the locks can’t hold James Norris they chain him, and when the chains won’t stay James Norris they fix him to a stake. But they still can’t take the thoughts out of his head.

He is a man shackled to his own tragedies: the commission he never took; the family and friends he lost; the lover who betrayed him.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest meets Mutiny on the Bounty – an exploration of love, sanity, suffering, and compassion. Based on the true story of James Norris, an American marine who was chained to a stake for fourteen years in Bethlem Hospital for the Insane (1800-15).

Will James Norris find what he is hunting for? Can he ever sail free?

Inside the Beautiful Inside by Emily Bullock is published on 17 June, 2020.

Emily’s short story, A Glimmer of Melting Ice, was longlisted for the HWA/Dorothy Dunnett Short Story Competition in 2019.
