DIE TONIGHT, LIVE FOREVER or THE NOSFERATU PRINCIPLE

A real estate agent sells soulless mansions to rich heterosexuals, purging the public of dark corners while pursuing his own oblivion on the apps, kept awake by an ensemble of the undead.
A writer stares into the void of her laptop, resisting the temptation to google her symptoms, wondering if sickness will save her.
Somewhere else, someone gets on the back of a motorbike they shouldn’t ride and wonders what they wouldn’t give for a hundred euros.
They’ll make you think you’re the only pervert around if you don’t stay vigilant. Stay awake. Keep yourself alive, if you must. What’s left of you.
DIE TONIGHT, LIVE FOREVER is an adrenaline-fuelled fever dream — a neo-gothic body horror for the vacancy of late capitalism.
