It's big, hot, often painful, and a hard place to get creative projects done. But something else is bothering inmate PKRx354--something beyond the unrelenting and often absurd torture routines, the demons, or the tormenting trio of his mother, father, and girlfriend also consigned to the Underworld. Luckily, there's help: Fred Greenberg--Hell's only psychotherapist. With Fred's stoic and perceptive guidance, the \"talking cure\" proves productive. That is, until a dastardly terrorist act by a mysterious faction threatens the very nature of the Underworld. Will our self-deprecating hero get to the cause of his nagging \"ennui?\" Will Fred find his own redemption? And will our hero ever find peace, or at least a vacation?Combining Dante, Douglas Adams, and Freud, \u003ci\u003e Damnation Diaries \u003c\/i\u003eis equal parts horror comedy and character-driven drama, uniquely converging the look of bronze-age comics with sharp literary satire. The book's imaginative and surreal landscape serves as a perfect backdrop for caustic social commentary that fits our equally surreal times. The setting may be imaginary, but the urgent issues addressed are not: growing economic inequality, student debt, political crisis, terrorism, and the attempt to find peace under the most hostile of circumstances.","brand":"Uncivilized Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62100145176946,"sku":"BS-R4W-250549","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/2972\/2226\/files\/9781941250549-HD.jpg?v=1784675435","url":"https:\/\/www.novelpanel.com\/products\/damnation-diaries","provider":"Novel Panel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
