First published 2005
The Mother Spirit of humanity's darkest impulses moves through time, leaving destruction in her wake. In ancient Rome's underground burial chambers, a heretical sect corrupts early Christian teachings, twisting sacred messages into blasphemy. The goddess of waste claims dominion over these perverted rituals, gathering power from human corruption. Centuries later in contemporary America, she continues her reign over a society obsessed with violence and false idols. Saints and deities clash with reincarnated beasts in battles that blur the line between sacred and profane. The king of wasters joins this cosmic struggle, where divine and demonic forces compete for control over mortal souls. As these supernatural entities wage war across millennia, they reveal that humanity's very purpose might lie in embracing the unthinkable horrors we create.
