Janzen Hakkinen is ready to end his life. As he approaches thirty, sobriety, a job and medication have done little to divert him from this decision.
Sean Patrick Byrne is the author of The Psychopomps, his debut work of literary fiction. A former award-winning English teacher in Baltimore, he used his summers off to complete the book. Living for extended periods of time in Cleveland, Boston, Los Angeles and now Charm City, his experiences in each location provided bits of material that season the pages of this novel. Drawn to and punted from these places for a slew of reasons, Sean hopes only that a reader may find honest expressions of what it means to be human, teeming with those moments that scar, overwhelm and possibly even inspire.
