By daring to use death to look at life, Cooper gives us a new perspective on our deepest fears and needs. This collection of stories provides an overview of his evolution and, as William T. Vollmann wrote in The New York Times Book Review, a portrait of “our soulless and decaying society.”

From Publishers Weekly
Cooper's first collection of stories fashions a sadistic, drugged-out and sexually charged counterculture in his characteristically cold and intense prose style.
