About the book
Harmon Tandler, an investigative journalist fresh out of college, works for anarchist newspaper The Daily Dystopia. His assignment is to investigate the suspicious Sunwest Society. After a mysterious neck injury, Harmon gradually descends into compulsive self-harm, injuring his own flesh with mutilation in a sick quest for bliss. His death, lying in his blood-drenched apartment with defamation charges written against his editor, led by conspiracy theories. To show the events that follow, his friend, Beckham Coletti, tells this tale in a journalistic following epilogue, also open to interpretation. The tale critiques rampant corruption, the improper handling of mental health, and the dangers of seeking the truth in a world so broken, culminating in an ominous atmosphere that pervades throughout. --- “Neurotic Hell” © 2021 by Thomas Vancura is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0.
