Publisher's Synopsis
A fitting follow-up to his unsettling short-story collection, Stillborn Gallery, in this volume Axl Barnes revisits his favorite themes of work alienation, death, and urban decay, through a poetic lens.
Inspired by towering masters like Baudelaire, Bacovia, and Bukowski, Axl Barnes creates a grim, gritty, and violent universe where hope is displaced by the absurd, the sordid, and the depraved. Mixed with the sinister illustrations of critically-acclaimed underground artist Thomas Stetson, this book is an unhealthy injection of powerful, paralyzing despair.
