Affliction Included

In the future, Stanly Borque numbers among a consolidated world population that has fallen victim to pandemic mental disease. Stanly works in a medicated haze as the head of an obscure corporate department-until a business trip overseas and a bizarre accident lands 214 billion dollars in his lap-catapulting him headfirst into a world of alarming excess. As civilization turns increasingly mad, so too does Stanly, and he slowly learns the truth about the affliction that has been tagged to him since birth. "It's a rare and wonderful thing to chance upon a novelist this young already writing with this much precision, this much control, and having this much fun with it all. Steven T. Bramble is a writer to watch, and to be reading--not later-but NOW." - Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Bird is Gone: A Manifesto and Demon Theory
