Check Mates is an original collection of fiction and poetry written about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder by the people who know best – Obsessive-Compulsives. Split between `realism’ and stories of the `beyond’, there is a diverse range of styles and genres, and a mix of rage, frustration, tears, violence, pain, heartache, subversion, love, strength, metaphysics, philosophy, friendship, hope, and even a bit of humour.

And maybe – just maybe – it will knock away a few stereotypes.

Featuring writing by:

`Kristen’, Rose Gardener, `Heather’, `Kristyn’, Steven Mojsovski, Vrinda Pendred, `Sad Clown’, Laura Power, Laura Chi, Jennifer Abrams, Sharon Meyer, `Ash’, Mark W. Johnson, Beth Barker, E. I. Muse, `Rich Writer’ and Ryan Arroyo

Illustrations by Stephen Leaver and Richard Krecker
Layout and Design by Lakshmi Shyamsunder and Vrinda Pendred
