You stupid darkness!, paperback/sam steiner

Description In a cramped, crumbling office, four volunteers spend a few hours every Tuesday night on the phone telling strangers that everything is going to be okay.

As the outside world disintegrates, they teeter on the edge of their own personal catastrophes.

Their hopes and fears become entangled as they try, desperately, to connect with the callers and with each other.
