Sometimes life is unfair. Sometimes life just plain sucks. You do what you can to get by, but then sometimes even that isn't enough. Meet Gloria, aging porno actress, failed wife and mother, drug-addict, seduced into a monstrous world of depraved sex and violent deceit, battling to save her immortal soul and that of her only daughter from Inferno . . . and you thought your life was Hell. "Wrath James White has more to say than many of his contemporaries, and says it more eloquently. He can gross you out with the best (or worst) of 'em, but I think there's more to him than that..." —Poppy Z. Brite "O'Rourke digs down into some loamy soil—what she comes up with is disturbingly dark, and often, very funny." —Jack Ketchum
