Throughout these pages, you will find only evil and malice, death and disdain, pain and fear. Your skin will crawl, your hair will stand on end; not from fear or tension – though both are ever-present – but because you will see yourself in the reflection of the monsters lurking beyond these words. They are our rulers, our Gods. And, with no love to be found, no sweethearts to stand together against the rising tides, all hope is lost.And, if you are still reading, there is only one question left to ask; is it not beautiful?-Michael Calder.
