A Graphic, Introspective Memoir Offering Psychological Insight beyond the Surface

May 2025 — What happens when a man confronts his demons instead of running from them? In Skyler’s House… Behind Closed Doors, debut author Skyler Jymes Roberts peels back the curtain on a mind haunted by regret, longing, and self-awareness. Far more than a shock-value confessional, this memoir is a rare psychological excavation… raw, disturbing, and unmistakably human.

Skyler writes from the edge of emotional chaos, guided by memories that refuse to fade or forgive. His prose is sharp, unfiltered, and brutally introspective, cutting straight to the bone without hesitation. With fearless vulnerability, he walks readers through a landscape shaped by sexual confusion, moral ambiguity, a family upbringing with love and caring but not without dysfunction, emotional detachment, and deep internal torment. At his side is an imaginary alter-ego named Choly… a voice that serves as his conscience, his harshest critic, and, at times, his only true companion. Choly adds a surreal, psychological layer to the narrative, illuminating Skyler’s inner battles in moments of anguish, reflection, and fragile clarity.

What sets Skyler’s House apart from other memoirs is its unflinching psychological honesty and fearless emotional depth. Skyler Is not afraid to admit what others only think, or to shine a light on the thoughts most people hide. He explores male desire… not merely as a physical urge, but as a tangled psychological maze; complex, compulsive, often contradictory, and at times deeply destructive. For Roberts, every desire has a backstory, every mistake… a root buried in memory, trauma, or unmet emotional need. His willingness to excavate these roots gives the book a raw introspective power that challenges readers to confront their own hidden truths.

 “I am not a therapist,” Roberts says, “but writing this book helped me understand why I do the things I do. And maybe it will help someone else understand themselves.”

Readers looking for closure or happy endings may be disappointed. This book is not a cure... perhaps an eye opener. Skyler offers no neat lessons or clear morals. Instead, he invites readers to sit with the discomfort of being deeply, irreparably human.

Skyler’s House is not a memoir for everyone. It is for the brave. For the wounded. For the curious. For those who know the mind is messy… and healing does not always come in straight lines.
