‘Here’s a incomplete list of things I don’t believe in: God. The Devil. Heaven. Hell. Bigfoot. Old Aliens. Former lives. Life after loss of life. Vampires. Zombies. Reiki..READING MORE approximately Toil & Problems: A Memoir Homeopathy. Rolfing. Reflexology. Remember that ‘witches’ and ‘witchcraft’ are absent out of this list. The thing is, I wouldn’t believe in them, and I’d privately ridicule any idiot who did, except for a very important factor: I am a witch.’

For as long as Augusten Burroughs could remember, he knew stuff he shouldn’t have known. He manifested items that shouldn’t have come to complete. And he informed exactly no one about this, save one person: his mother. His mom reassured him that it had been all perfectly regular, that he was descended from an extended line of witches, heading back to the days of the first American colonies. And that this family tree was filled up with witches. It had been a bond that he and his mom shared–until your day she remaining him in the treatment of her psychiatrist to become elevated in his family (but that’s a whole other tale). After that, Augusten was by himself. On his own to navigate the globe of this tricky power; on his own to either use or misuse this present.

Through the hilarious towards the terrifying, Toil & Trouble is a chronicle of 1 man’s journey to understand himself, to reconcile the powers he can wield with things with which he’s helpless. There have become few things that are coincidences, as become familiar with in Toil & Difficulty. Ghosts are actual, trees can need to wipe out you, beavers will be the spawn of Satan, homes are alive, and in the long run, love may be the most effective magic of most.

‘[Toil & Problems] is completely brought to life in a complete and unabridged ‘theater of the brain’ audio reserve experience with the narrative team of Augusten Burroughs, Anne Bobby, Robin Kilometers, and Gabra Zackman.’ – Midwest Publication Review
