Eternal Damnation is a short story collection by Eric Larsen. A young boy gets back at his bully during a baseball game but then worries if he has sinned. A man fondly remembers an encounter with a beautiful young woman from decades ago. On a sunny morning, a man takes a stroll outside to get coffee and returns to his apartment, fully prepared to express his inner rage through his writing. While hanging out with his friends after President Kennedy's assassination, the narrator ponders the duality of existence, with order and chaos prevailing side by side. After striking up a friendship with his dental hygienist, the narrator is proud to see his new friend pulling off a small act of defiance against authority. The narrator chooses silence over being taken as a madman for expressing his beliefs.
With a riveting collection of short slice-of-life stories, Eric Larsen explores different aspects of human behavior as well as social issues that impact the general populace. Drawing from his own life experiences, Larsen presents a captivating collection of tales that paint a colorful portrait of the human experience. The author doesn't shy away from critiquing some of the decisions made by politicians and leaders during the COVID-19 outbreak. Overall, Eternal Damnation is an enthralling anthology featuring stories that are heartfelt, profound, and, at times, thought-provoking. The grounded tone of the narrative makes the book very engaging. Larsen's observations of human nature are authentic and interesting. But what impressed me the most was the author's ability to create an immersive setting and a cast of compelling supporting characters in each story that were unique and almost always memorable. Highly recommended!
