Michael's Descent: Four Score and Madness is a darkly satirical psychological novel about one man's rapid fall from stability into paranoia, humiliation, and collapse. Michael Torino once had it all, career, love, security. Then, piece by piece, it slipped away. A layoff, a breakup, a humiliating run-in with old acquaintances. What begins as everyday setbacks soon curdles into something darker: discount groceries and boxed wine become his nightly rituals, while ominous encounters and strange messages make him question not only his luck but his sanity. As his world unravels, Michael finds himself spiraling through a landscape that is at once painfully ordinary and terrifyingly surreal. Banks, motels, suburban streets, and sterile offices transform into stages for paranoia, humiliation, and rage. The name "Lincoln" haunts him at every turn, appearing on layoff letters, in old classmates' sneers, and in cryptic warnings scrawled across wrecked rooms. Whether coincidence or conspiracy, it becomes the symbol of his undoing. Written in a sharp, uncompromising voice, Michael's Descent blends dark humor with psychological horror. It captures the fragility of modern identity, how quickly the scaffolding of job titles, paychecks, and borrowed dignity can collapse. The novel offers a biting portrait of decline that will resonate with readers of literary fiction, American gothic, and psychological thrillers alike. Unflinching, bleak, and at times disturbingly funny, this is not simply a tale of madness. It is a reflection on the thin line between order and chaos, security and ruin, and how, once crossed, there may be no way back.
