In tune with the wilder stretches of Clive Barker though also indebted to H.P. Lovecraft, this deals with a nerdy schoolboy who is the current incarnation of an all-powerful demon god and the sub-groups demons, beast-people, humans who feud around him. Almost numbingly astonishing, the visionary depictions of hellish entities combine the grosser elements of Marvel Comics with the bizarre excesses of Bosch.
The struggles of sundry entities in incomprehensible and prophesied battles are hard to follow, especially since narrative and character are submerged into a non-stop procession of ever-grander atrocity, but this is a must for strong-stomached horror fans.
