Dark Cloud Descending (As Dictated to the Author by the Demon Bane)

"All who are less, hear me (which no doubt means I should have everyone's attention): In the year of our Lord--more accurately yours, not mine--2xxx, a beautiful thing happened upon the Earth; so grand, so sublime, so lovely was the occurrence that I am moved to trembling when merely thinking about its splendor! And what, you may ask, is this event that makes even devils shiver? If I told you now then surely you would lose your courage for further reading, for such is the cowardice of most, who, like you, are of common men!"

From the pages of The Lesser Tales--where he appears as both a sardonic firefighter and a sadistic game show host--the demon Bane ascends to narrate the end of the world. Aided by Albert Einstein, Marquise De Sade, Friedrich Nietzsche, and a mysterious black 'superhero' with the letter 'A' emblazoned on his chest, Bane leads readers down a meandering path whose end is annihilation. Wickedly funny and hilariously inappropriate, your guide performs his hosting duties with an unyielding gallows humor that's sure to keep you amused until the instant you're consumed by flames. So come, get on board; there's no need to pack, you won't need clothes where you're going. Next stop Oblivion!
