On May 28, 1952, my nineteen and twenty year old parents named me Stephen Allan Rowe. But what did they then know of me today, sixty years later? I didn’t even know myself at eighteen or twenty-one!

Hell is the vast urban sprawl of the North-East Atlantic seaboard. Its high priests, Nobel scientists with ties to Satanic cults and financed by government and corporate mega-grants, carry out secret research in giant underground labyrinths suggesting the ancient catacombs. But in the background lurks a sinister, almost serpentine figure, the vial...
