In this episode of Bold Book, Dr. Denise Nicholson sits down with author Kent Priore to explore his gripping new book, The Monsters Among Us. This mind-bending story follows Seth, a man who discovers his entire life has been an elaborate, sinister lie—pulling readers into a fast-paced journey filled with psychological drama, metaphysical philosophy, and emotional complexity.

Kent opens up about his own experiences with bipolar disorder, sharing how his mental health journey shaped the characters, themes, and heart of the book. He emphasizes the importance of authentic neurodivergent representation in literature and challenges societal stigma by redefining mental illness as a source of brilliance and strength.

Together, Dr. Denise and Kent discuss:
✨ The emotional intensity of Seth’s journey
✨ The role of friends as teachers in times of struggle
✨ How writing became a therapeutic and healing process
✨ The redefinition of mental illness as a gift, not a weakness
✨ Kent’s vision for future books and his interest in memoir writing

This powerful conversation is more than an author interview—it’s a call to see mental health in a new light and to embrace the beauty in life’s struggles.
