Description

Madmen are not born mad. They are driven mad. Terrible events corrupt them and lead their minds into alternate realities, alternate worlds. The Corruption of Zachary R. is about such a man. Raised by a neurotic mother tortured by vicious nightmares, and an emotionally distant, chess-obsessed father, Zachary R. sets off on his own after high school. He meets a girl in his apartment building and has a daughter with her. Forced to contend with betrayal and the mounting tragedies in his life, and compelled to accept his failed dreams, single parenthood, and a mundane job, Zachary R. succumbs to insanity. His daughter is left alone. What does her future hold? What will become of her father?
