A hit man stalks his mark at a race track. A sociopath crosses every moral boundary to become a published author. An ex-mercenary obsessively defends his "perimeter" from a dangerous interloper.

In a dystopian future, young people struggle for survival underground, forming themselves into vicious gangs with only the graffiti of the "last journalists" accepted as truth. Andrew Vachss collects 20 tight, powerful stories - all from the past decade of his career, including some now published for the first time - along with an original screenplay.

È un romanzo composto da una serie di dodici racconti legati da un filo narrativo e interdentale. A causa di un ascesso terribile, un uomo si reca al Pronto Soccorso dentistico notturno.

Ecco allora le storie raccontate da Pinketts: dall'horror al noir, dal surreale al fantastico, i racconti si muovono tutti sul livello del paradosso e della metafora. Per ogni dente un racconto, in un caleidoscopio di immagini, di giochi di parole, di invenzioni fantastiche.
