Memoirs of the Felmed Coof - Paperback

Memoirs of the Felmed Coof is a dark, psychologically intimate coming-of-age novel set in the working-class shadows of New England. It follows Shane McAlister as grief, loyalty, addiction, and violence quietly shape the man he is becoming. Parents fade. Friends fracture. Love arrives with conditions. At the center of it all is the Felmed Coof-a self-medicated state of reckless clarity where pain dulls, memory bends, and consequences wait.

As Shane slips deeper into crime and inherited secrets he barely understands, the line between choice and inevitability begins to blur. Authority figures exploit instead of protect. The past refuses to stay buried. Told through fractured memory and interior reckoning, the novel traces how identity forms not through triumph, but through damage endured and repeated.

Bleak, unsentimental, and psychologically charged, Memoirs of the Felmed Coof is a literary noir about becoming someone before you're ready-and living with what that costs.
