At the very worst, they end up in Hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHell may come in the form of smarmy agents, sycophantic students, bad film scripts or journalists with ulterior motives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are lights at the end of the tunnel, albeit, peculiar ones: whether it is the solace that a struggling actor finds in impersonating the kind of cop he used to play on television or a philosophy based entirely on food which one ancient teacher adopts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome manna from heaven proves to be full of worms, however, as it is with one man admitted to a ‘hospital’ which turns out to be a strange prison run by subterranean authorities. As bookstores around the world close and the human race stops reading, God sits in Heaven with a representative of man as they negotiate on what to do about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, the stories in this book form a whole which deals with what it means to be an artist in a blood-hungry world driven by its need for entertainment, pleasure and its neurotic tendency to destroy its own idols.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shane Eide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078698221808,"sku":"2940046619805","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046619805_p0.jpg?v=1763696527","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046619805","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
