My fascination with the dark and odd, and the fear of God and punishment for our sins, stemmed from my teenage years.

As much as the music of the metal variety was self-discovery, literature came through school, and Alighieri’s nine circles of hell have been one of the most impactful.

Where torment and fury clash in vivid, unrelenting flame.
A visual scream of Dante’s Inferno.
