Description
The Father, the Dog and the Conspiracy Theorist is Cody Burke's unfiltered story of breaking down and breaking free. It's a raw, darkly funny memoir about mental breakdowns, paranoia, family damage and unique self-discovery. It moves between psychological spirals, absurd humour, and uncomfortable honesty as the author strives to "question everything". This memoir pulls you inside to not only the chaos of mental collapse, but to the chaos of evolution. You will find humour in the madness, hope in the heartbreak, and perhaps even you will begin to question everything. Just don't lose your head...

Sarah F, Reviewer
This was an interesting and thought-provoking read with a unique premise. The story offers a compelling look at how conspiracy thinking can impact family life, particularly through the eyes of a young protagonist trying to make sense of his father’s beliefs.
I found the concept strong and very relevant, especially in today’s world. The emotional core of the story—particularly the relationship dynamics and the presence of the dog as a source of comfort—added warmth and depth.
However, at times the pacing felt uneven, and I didn’t always feel fully connected to the characters. Some parts of the narrative could have been developed further to create a stronger emotional impact.
