Huntingdon Prison in Pennsylvania had a dilemma following this ruling against its holding men on Death Row any longer: What to do with the worst men among 225 Death Row prisoners ordered out of their cells more than one hour a day?The answer: Create a special unit where 48 of the most violent and dangerous men would be kept away from the rest of the Death Row inmates. From 1995 to 1998, Nick Yarris was one of those 48 men who were described as "Monsters & Madmen." What he endured over the course of this one, three-year long segment of his 23 years spent on Death Row was so brutal that he has kept it hidden until now. Be prepared for a ride like no other as Nick takes you inside a special experiment that left four people dead, and left him scarred forever from it all . . .

Languages : en
Pages : 674
Book Description
From Jeff VanderMeer, the author of Borne and Annihilation, comes the paperback reissue of his cult classic City of Saints and Madmen. In this reinvention of the literature of the fantastic, you hold in your hands an invitation to a place unlike any you’ve ever visited—an invitation delivered by one of our most audacious and astonishing literary magicians. City of elegance and squalor. Of religious fervor and wanton lusts. And everywhere, on the walls of courtyards and churches, an incandescent fungus of mysterious and ominous origin. In Ambergris, a would-be suitor discovers that a sunlit street can become a killing ground in the blink of an eye. An artist receives an invitation to a beheading—and finds himself enchanted. And a patient in a mental institution is convinced that he’s made up a city called Ambergris, imagined its every last detail, and that he’s really from a place called Chicago . . . By turns sensuous and terrifying, filled with exotica and eroticism, this interwoven collection of stories, histories, and “eyewitness” reports invokes a universe within a puzzle box where you can lose—and find—yourself again.
