A gloomy, gothic and frightening meditation on guilt and the nature of evil, ULTIMUM CARCERON takes place in the future, millions of miles from Earth, where the worst of humanity has been sent to the prison of Ultimum Carceron. While mankind has made home on colonies and space stations in a luxury amid its perfect machines, Carceron remains a black spot of complete mystery. The prison's mythology has only grown from its recollection by those who have been released, and from there erupted into countless rumors, each more ludicrous than the last. On the Europa Colony, Theodore Arkight lives an average and virtuous life as an engineer, and is expecting a child with his fiance. When one of his friends desperately needs money for a political campaign, however, Arkight seeks illegal means of acquiring money. If he gets caught, he could risk being caged in Carceron, and he has no idea what surreal environment he would find there, or if he could survive it. *This story was on the 2018 Wattys Longlist.
