The Facility
Mussolini clones that won’t stay dead. The power to re-create others—forever. Memory and identity are no longer unique. Trapped inside the cloning facility at a time when humans are undergoing their final death rattle on a prion-infected earth, Fausto struggles to re-create the world he once knew. Or did he ever know it?
Praise for Berlin:
“As wickedly funny and hilariously angry as vintage Harlan Ellison.” —Spider Robinson, author of Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon
“A delightful romp through the metaphysical muck.” —Halifax Daily News
“A funny, tragic glimpse into the territory of the absurd, somewhere between Kafka and Vonnegut.” —Calgary Herald
“Weird and wonderful . . . imaginative, unsettling, devilishly layered. Mirolla delights in verbal and situational sleight-of-hand, exposing a disorienting world of labyrinthine dreams and menacing recurrent images. Mirolla likes the macabre and grotesque, absurdities and stylistic play. He mercilessly exposes our alienation and primal fears, forcing us to face the awful possibility that we are no more than the product of our own devising.” —Event Magazine
