"A PROFOUND AND PROFOUNDLY DISTURBING BOOK." Jack Laurence is an ordinary man with a good job and a family he loves.Until he isn't. Left with only a diary to share his innermost thoughts, Jack gradually loses touch with a reality he feels has abandoned him. He surrenders to a new life of drink, drugs and murderous revenge with nihilistic humour, but he finds himself overwhelmed by his minds companions. These demons and guides fight for control, each with their own agenda, yet somehow linked to a mysterious young girl whose fate seems intertwined with Jack's own. Switching between diary and novel, 'For all is Vanity' is a story of a man teetering on the edge of madness.
