Synopsis

Why do we crave that which is killing us?
Addiction is the perpetual epidemic, where swarms of human moths flutter to the flames of hell. Because that warm blanket of a heroin high, that joyful intoxication of a pint of vodka, the electric energy of a line of cocaine, over time leaves you with a cold loneliness and a bitter heart. Relationships are destroyed, bodies deteriorate, loved ones lost, yet the craving continues for that which destroys us—living, as the title suggests, like an Orphan of Bliss.

Welcome to the third and final fix of addiction horror. The series that began with Garden of Fiends and followed Lullabies for Suffering can be read in any order. You can start here, you can end here, but Orphans of Bliss is certainly the biggest one yet. A more expansive and diverse table of contents brought together for an explosive grand finale, an unflinching look at the insidious nature of addiction, told with searing honesty but compassion for those who suffer.
