ALGOL APOCALYPSE. DAWN OF THE DEMON STAR. An unprecedented cosmic
event - the Algol Parallax - wreaks havoc throughout the galaxy and
spells disaster for planet Earth. Civilisation collapses. On the eve of
annihilation Dr Thomas Lewis, director of Wyvern Abbey asylum, confronts
the institution's most notorious inmate, Andromeda Polidori, leader of a
doomsday cult whose esoteric doctrine may hold the key to salvation. His
investigations propel Lewis deep into the savage heart of darkness - the
emerald inferno - that has transformed the world beyond recognition ...
a fantastic odyssey that culminates with the revelation of his own
magickal destiny and the fate of all life. ALGOL ASYLUM combines the
stylistic tropes of Gothic science fiction, Surrealism and Romanticism
with the arcane symbolism of the occult, alchemy and Gnostic philosophy
to create an apocalyptic epic of baleful power, invoking the radical
experiments of iconic visionaries such as Aleister Crowley, HP
Lovecraft, JG Ballard and Philip K Dick.
