"This book … consists of twenty-six tales and fables that provide, through depicting inevitable frustrations, dilemmas, and personal tragedies, a modicum of staidness instead of stimulation. I have no pretensions that reading these tales and fables will bring anybody any closer to conclusions, or teach anybody anything, or—certainly not—amuse. I am, evidently, not big on amusement. My intention is to spread holy insecurity, promote festering doubt, and incite a pervasive sense of gnawing agony. Hence, the title." —Eugene Kaellis, author
