View from Hell
by John Shirley
From the dark side of Hollywood -- to the cruel secrets of one of America's most secretive industries...To the twisted, explosive little Hells of suburban America...To a hidden experimental world within a world -- a terrarium for human beings where sex and drugs and violence are just factors in the experiment... Where experiencing new deaths becomes the ultimate drug, the ultimate ride -- the final addiction.
The question is -- would you know if you were in Hell, necessarily? Maybe it depends on your definition of Hell. What's yours? Haven't you ever said, 'I'm just in Hell' and sincerely meant it -- if only for a few minutes? Some parts of the world are truly Hell. Some parts are easier. But that's Hell's little game, isn't it?
Sometimes you think, why did I do what I did, just now?
Could something have been influencing me... from outside?
Not all astral puppeteers are demons -- not exactly. Not at first. But if they're not -- what are they? And what are we, the puppets, really?
Are we really human?
Are you sure?
