“… the magic is in the blending of the two genres; psychological thriller and governmental conspiracy.” - THE HUNGRY MONSTER BOOK REVIEW
“If The Bed Falls In is an amazing conspiracy thriller that you can't wait to finish and then are disappointed when it's over leaving you wanting more.” - Teresa Fronek, US Amazon Reader

Not the usual psychological thriller...

Depressed photographer Tom Friday is a man who can no longer suspend disbelief. Conspiracies are everywhere; false flags, government manipulation and profiteering banks sucking the lifeblood from society.

But now he is starting to have vivid hallucinations. Are they drugging him as well? Paranoia turns into reality when he comes face to face with a gut-wrenching conclusion; all his memories are false. He is really, Joseph Miller, an MI6 assassin suffering severe amnesia? And western society’s survival hinges on him regaining his memory?


If The Bed Falls In
'A man in two minds, are either of them his?'


“In my opinion, Paul Casselle isn't simply an author. He is one of the most creative writers I've ever had the pleasure to run across.” - AMAZON US READER

“It was one of those 'just one more chapter and I'll...' type books… then I found out there is a sequel. Yeah!” - AMAZON US READER

“One of the best books I've read in quite a while!” - AMAZON US READER



What the critics are saying about 'If The Bed Falls In'...


"If The Bed Falls In is a chilling psychological thriller that attaches itself into your subconscious and refuses to leave. Paul Casselle is a story-teller who deftly weaves his tale into a thrill ride of a page turner. He creates multilevel characters that remain with the reader long after the book has been closed. His characters leap off the page and scream to be heard." - The Hungry Monster Book Review

“The storytelling skills of the author are amazing… It is one of those books that left me craving for more... and the end of it brought an acute sense of bereavement. Therefore, totally recommendable!” - Yves TOP 50 Reviewer Amazon.co.uk

“If you have never read any books by Paul Casselle, then you should know he ranks up along with the greatest authors of this genre. You just can't put it down. He is the new 'King' of thrillers. I loved it! Janice.” - Amazon Kindle Reader

"If The Bed Falls In is a chilling psychological thriller that attaches itself into your subconscious and refuses to leave...Casselle perfected a realistic world that is unparalleled in other novels."The Hungry Monster Book Review

"I had never found a Kindle book as all-consuming as this one, to the point of me forgetting that I was reading a Kindle book (I prefer paper books!)."
Yves - TOP 500 Reviewer

"If you like: Quirky, Action, Thrillers, Romance, this book has got It all. I was actually halfway through another author's book when I decided to take a peak at this one and ended up abandoning the other book as I was so intrigued."Amazon.co.uk Reader

I live in Spain with 3 labradors, 2 children & 1 girlfriend.

Moving to Spain gave me the impetus I needed to finish my first novel, Conversations with Eric. The warm climate caused me to move the second half of the novel here as well.

I love telling a compelling story that will both intrigue and excite my readers. I want to take you to places that will exhilarate as well as entertain. I'm never shy about sailing near the edge. The unusual is my normal and jaw-dropping surprising my stock-in-trade.

The first book in my thriller series is out now, If The Bed Falls In, available from Amazon in both Kindle & paperback. Who was really behind 9/11? - If The Bed Falls In - An action packed, fast moving psychological thriller that threatens to rip the lid off the oligarchs behind the financial terrorism we see all around us.

BOOK TWO, As Mad as Hell, is also available on Amazon. Watch out! It digs uncomfortably into the manipulative military/industrial complex, and one man has taken it upon himself to save us all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind-Boggling Mystery/Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017

Whew! - Where to begin?

If you're not familiar with the Jefferson Airplane song, "White Rabbit", I encourage you to listen to it; that might prepare your mind for this incredible story. (If you DO know the song, go ahead and listen to it again!) This adventure is "Alice In Wonderland"/"Alice Through The Looking Glass" turned on its head - or sideways.

Is the protagonist on a self-induced mind-trip from too much cocaine? Is it all just a dream? Or a nightmare? Or does he suffer from a split-personality disorder? Or was he intentionally administered a really bad drug by the CIA?

At first, the changing "personalities" (of all the characters) and changing time-frames is bewildering, but as the story continues it becomes easier to follow along - especially if you can accept that one (or more) of the questions I posed above is at the heart of the story. BUT WHICH ONE???
Prepare yourself for reading long into the night because you WILL NOT want to put this down.

In my opinion, Paul Casselle isn't simply an author. He is one of the most creative writers I've ever had the pleasure to run across. And so long as I don't get distracted (call it Age-assisted Attention Deficit Disorder), I'll continue this saga in the next novel - there's more to come!

4.0 out of 5 stars A murky beginning and frustrating end, but the investment was worth it.
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017

This was my second go at this book. I first picked it up almost a year ago, but set it aside after a few chapters. Although I can’t remember the specifics of why, it may have been due to the confusing start. And even the second time, I was scratching my head for a while. The first jump from Tom to Joseph was rather abrupt, but I found I enjoyed the convoluted twists that followed their dissociation.

Mr. Casselle presented a lot of characters, which made it a little hard to keep track of who was when and where at times. But you’ll remember the truly important ones. One thing that did strike me as odd—and disconcerting—about the main character(s) was the fact that Tom and Joseph had very different physical appearances. It certainly served to remind the reader of their very different…well…everything. I’m pretty sure we were meant to be unsettled by that, actually…

As for writing style, the detail and intricacy of “If the Bed Falls In” was a level above many thrillers I’ve read over that last few years. I’m not usually a fan of novels with heavy political themes, but I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to the next in the series. Mr. Casselle has a way with words that was alternately pompous (“highly ambrosial tooth” for ‘sweet tooth’) and beautifully vivid (his description of how London devours its citizens). I found myself both frustrated and drawn in, which was a very odd experience as a reader.
In addition to an intriguing storyline and engaging characters, “If the Bed Falls In” was very well edited. If there were typos, they were few and far between and didn’t detract from the story. Thank you, Mr. Casselle, for your diligence and attention to this important detail.

The reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the ending. I can’t say much without giving away too much, but suffice it to say I was less than satisfied with where Mr. Casselle left us. There was a lot of rapid-fire information dumped in at the end…without really giving us an adequate resolution to the big questions and I vehemently dislike that feeling of being left hanging.

Bottom line: The beginning is a little murky and the ending will be frustrating for some, but if you stick with it, I promise you won’t regret the investment. I recommend this for lovers of unpredictable thrillers with heavy political overtones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible story of two separate personalities interwoven within one mind
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2016

Amazing story. Tom, or is he Joseph, is drug free for two years, but ..... When Tom starts having lost time and appears in places where he is addressed as Joseph, and he seems to possess skills that he doesn’t know he had, the reader is immersed into a mind that seems to be coming apart at the seams. Who am I, where am I, what has happened to me. Tom, or Joseph, must resolve the issue or die from it, since Joseph is not your ordinary, working individual. Again, an amazing, unusual, well written story. I feel that this story is only a four star at the beginning since the story is so very complex and takes time to get into and understand the dilemma the character is in and what is actually happening. Once you really get immersed into the story, then it moves along much quicker since you really want to know what is going to happen next. At that point, it becomes a five star all the rest of the way.

I found this to be unreadable. Unlikeable, uninteresting characters doing unremarkable activities. Just stupefying in its dullness. I wanted so much to set it on fire, but it's on the kindle. No Sir, no thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wild road - fun, scary and a bit off the wall, I loved it!
Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2017

A most unique book and yet it keeps me glued to it. I actually enjoyed wandering around in the illogical thoughts of the prolific characters in Tom's head. Quite fascinating, in a strange way, perhaps a manifestation of split personality except there are too many other characters with him. But what is really odd is that no one else seems to acknowledge that he isn't who he should be, but is exactly who they think he is. Who, then, is a killer? Is anyone?

Most of the group meeting appears to have some connection to Tom's crew of imaginary and diverse group; a planned assassination, but who will do it? What role will each play? Who or what is the Spring? Well, that is at least one thing that may be explained. It apparently doesn't matter who does what or thinks what, as backup they have a British Olympic shooter. Now the question bodes, who is the target and why? Does anyone in this group wonder? Why do different members of the plot keep showing up individually in the dark of night? Everyone wants information on the Bedfellows, not least of them is Will and Cyril.

I really enjoyed this book, fast action, but I have to admit I took notes to keep the characters sorted out simply because I wanted to have the information straight to write this review. It all makes sense in some strange way. The smoothness with which the characters, though often changed, were carrying out the subplots was remarkable. International spies and an assassin but they are all the same yet different. What a wild road through an addled mind. Is it something affecting the brain? Is it Tom's previous use of cocaine causing a cocaine hallucination? How can that be, it's not just him that changes character but all his friends and cohorts. This book is fun, scary, and a bit off the wall, and that's what makes it so enjoyable. I'd say it was a murder mystery, but the mystery is that the murdered turn up alive...every time! The title is derived from the old Goodnight, Sleep tight rhyme with two extra lines I'm not familiar with but it's very fitting, and perhaps a clue.

4.0 out of 5 stars I found it all a bit confusing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2017

This is well written and there are some interesting characters but to be honest I just found it all too confusing. About 20% through I thought there was a breakthrough moment and I could relax and settle into the read but without wishing to give too much away, the plot flipped repeatedly and I just got lost. Even having finished the book and the epilogue I still have unresolved questions which it appears may be answered by reading the next book. I may return to it at some point but at the moment I need to read something a bit more straightforward.

This is by far the weirdest book I have ever read. The storyline is constantly changing and even the end doesn't give any clear idea of what is real and what is fake. It was interesting enough for me to read to the end but I don't think I would look for more like it.

Oh My Gosh! I need more stars...
I think I've got a new favourite author.
Paul Casselle"s skill with detail is incredible.
He gives you everything you need without making it too busy to read.
It was like watching a movie in your mind!
Bits of humour through his characters' dialogue were perfectly timed.
There is always a risk of confusion when an author uses flash backs. Not here!
All the violence is graphic and matter of fact. No dragging it on until it becomes too messy.That's one more thing I appreciate.
Most of the characters can hold there own but his main male character ( or two , depending how you look at it) is brilliantly written.
Just when you think you know what's really happening a little twists make your brain go : Whaaaa????
His fictional interpretation of what is going on in the world can be quite unsettling.
I expect that to be the case in its sequel : AS Mad AS Hell
A review will definitely be made as soon as I can read this 2nd book of the 'Bedfellows Thriller Series'
