Get both of Luke O’Neil’s widely read Hell World collections—Welcome to Hell World and Lockdown in Hell World—together in one bundle.

Based on O’Neil’s cult-favorite newsletter, these books collect dispatches from a country on fire. They mix journalism, personal essays, and raw, emotional storytelling to document the cruelty, absurdity, and occasional grace of modern American life.

Welcome to Hell World exposes the rage and grief of a nation in collapse, from gun violence and healthcare failures to small acts of kindness that somehow survive it all.

Lockdown in Hell World continues the chronicle through the pandemic years, when everything that was already broken came apart even further.

The result is an unflinching record of what it feels like to live in America right now: angry, compassionate, heartbreaking, and darkly funny.
