This article focuses on the book entitled "Judgment Day," by James T. Farrell. According to the author Farrell has revealed throughout the trilogy of which this is the concluding volume, that he is the most terrifying novelist now writing in the U.S. He remarks that there is nothing in this volume comparable for sheer terror with that penultimate chapter in "The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan" in which Farrell crystallized his vision of the contemporary world in a scene that is like an epitome of all human depravity and evil and emotions.
