All God's Angels, Beware!

In these ten stories, Quentin S. Crisp takes us from the spectral purlieus of the ghost of a suicide, searching in vain for a mortal confidante ('Troubled Joe'), to the future melancholy of a world in the early stages of human immortality, where non-holographic reality is despised (Karakasa), and through a variety of intimately portrayed worlds, both familiar and fantastical, to a final cri de coeur in the form of the novelette 'Suicide Watch', in which, against the background of the doomed present age, one suicidal loser attempts to save another.
