THE haunted house story, so often referred to as the best in its category.
Television purports to challenge political language by conveying images, but the succession from one frame to another can hinder a sense of resolution.

— The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth by Roger Zelazny
I first heard of this book when Lucas Wilson was interviewed by James of Fundie Friday's. They mentioned it had a variety of experiences from different backgrounds, and while not all encompassing, it is a large spread of stories.
Every chapter either hits you in the gut or empowers (and often both), as they share their experiences with conversation therapy in all its forms.
It's a difficult read, but an important one. I highly recommend it.
