This attractive square-format hardcover is published by La Mano, which is itself a project of Sally's.  It contains six pieces finely rendered in a solid ink brush style that doesn't spare the ink.  Ranging from eight to nineteen pages in length, these stories are threaded together by a shared theme, which is fully articulated by the volume's title.  All the tales are populated by characters moving through a world where continual lapsing into error is the one and only way of life.  Success is not an option here.  Every chance is blown.  Every step forward is a leap back.  Progress is an illusion.  No one gets better.  It's just a matter of when and how it all goes bad.
