These 17 stories of senseless death, suicide, slaughter, and death-defiance, flanked by episodes of debacle, divorce, alcoholism, drug abuse, prostitution, greed, malpractice, murder, mysticism, and madness, culminate in a hell of mankind?s creation, an apocalypse, and the end of so-called civilization.
