Guernica Night

From the cover blurb:
 

Who can resist the Final Trip?
Earth in the twenty-third century is adorned with corpses as scuicides ravage a dehumanised population, compelled to live, or merely exist, in segregated complexes. Despite the technical wizardry of the Church of the Epiphany and the dictates of the unseen rulers, more and more people seek the ultimate exit. One man probes the social disease, but he too fights that dreadful permanent seduction. If he succumbs, the victory of the Oppressors would be complete....


Review:

Contains some incredibly good writing and Malzbergian intensity works extremely well. I’ve re-read parts to study the effect, but I think it’s inimitable. Masterful use of language, of metaphor, etc., literary without calling attention to itself. Well worth checking out. I'd give this 8,5/10.
