The Sanguinaires: Or What I Hate Most About Everything

By Gabriel Verveniotis

Set against the gothic halls, institutional corridors, and cramped Annex basements of the University of Toronto campus, The Sanguinaires; Or, What I Hate Most About Everything is a sharp, sardonic entry into modern literary fiction.

When "the Event" reveals everyone's precise time and cause of death, society collapses into state-enforced compliance-pushed by the bureaucratic deployment of "Nepenthe" and forced Rectification. Amid the compliance, a small resistance known as the Sanguinaires refuses to take the comfortable exit into numbness, choosing instead to stare raw reality in the face.

Blending high philosophical contemplation-Camusian Absurdism, deterministic fate, and existential dread-with the raw, unvarnished grit of lower-class urban life, Gabriel Paul Verveniotis delivers a compelling reconciliation of the celestial and the vulgar. The Sanguinaires is an uncompromising examination of free will, mortality, and human dignity when every illusion of control has been stripped away.
