Failure by John Everson was a complete surprise to me. It was the first of his writing I had read and I had no idea he was this talented. Great erotic overtones, hopelessness of the habitual loser, that easy way out that turns out to be disaster. And gore! lots of lovely gore.The three teenagers are outcasts and losers, all three screwed up in some fundamental way and having no skills  to change things. Any risks are worth taking because nothing turns out right for the trio. So they enter an agreement with a frightening old man and enter a kind of hell only created by authors who are willing to show us just how bad "EVIL" really is. Kudos to John Everson.
