'A Scintillating tale of entrapment and resurrection' from debut novelist and MA Creative Writing graduate D.C. Emery.
In the deepest and darkest parts of the human spirit and mind, when everything has been lost and there is little to gain. But one man must make the final journey for all of mankind...
'After a deadly pandemic destroys human civilization, the lonely and destitute protagonist has been trapped inside his own home for fifteen years without any contact with the outside world. It seems that he is the last one left alive and battling with survivor's guilt, his mental state gets progressively worse. Isolated and depressed to the point of suicide, he receives a final and daring opportunity to save a life on the outside. Believing this to be his last chance to rectify all wrongdoing, the subsequent events lead to him embarking upon the last great adventure of his kind, which is as devastating and gut-wrenching as it is revealing and hopeful. He endeavours to find whatever is left of the world and more importantly, his place within it.'

The Weltschmerz Penitentiary Part I
Can a sinner truly save himself... or must others be saved from him?
Society is collapsing.
Crime is rampant, world economies are falling, population levels are declining, and every generation grows darker than the last.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
A secret society introduces a last-gasp measure to save humanity from itself -- a prison system worse than anyone could imagine.
Only the worst sinners of all mankind can be sent here to suffer on earth before they are sent into eternal hellfire.
Enter Francisco Munez, the focal and longest serving inmate of The Weltschmerz Penitentiary, who must come to terms with his reality and fate before he is executed. Unfortunately for him, even the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
One question remains: is redemption still possible, or are some souls beyond saving?
