Glass Hell
A thrilling story about a burning skyscraper...
What can happen when a private construction company neglects fire safety regulations and measures for greater financial gain, and also has the means to silence criticism from the media? The gradual creation and subsequent fire of a gigantic skyscraper, as interpreted by the author duo Scortia and Robinson, is not only a depiction of the fates of people connected to the building's existence but, above all, a look at everything that unfolds within it, from lavish, luxurious public spaces to the complex behind-the-scenes of its technical operations, along with a cautionary exposé of everything that caused the tragic disaster.
