Publisher's Synopsis
Ephemera: The Price of Pain is a collection of dark, gripping short stories set in a dystopian world where the line between pleasure and pain has been obliterated by a powerful, illegal drug known as Ephemera. The drug transforms agony into ecstasy, leading its users down a path of self-destruction, addiction, and madness. From cults worshipping the twisted high to underground surgeries that push the limits of human endurance, these stories explore the haunting depths of human desperation, greed, and the insatiable hunger for escape. Each tale reveals the chilling consequences of seeking freedom from pain-and the inevitable price paid for trying to transcend humanity itself.
