Hell: Volume 1

More about the book

Tat Book One: Hell, begins the tale of Tatiana Stannek, a young girl living in the closing years of the nineteenth century. Suffering a strange malady which caused her to be born with her skin covered in intricate markings, she is exhibited as the 'Painted Girl' by her brutish father who runs a gypsy circus that travels around Eastern Europe. Beaten and abused, young Tat yearns only for the release of death to deliver her from the pain of living. Following a bizarre dream, a catastrophic incident sends her and her father off on a grim journey to far-off London, confronting the realities of abuse, addiction, mental illness and class inequality. Once there, a series of unexpected events expose a trail of mysteries surrounding her birth, and the true nature of the journey she's embarked upon. Steeped in the lore of Qabalah, Tarot and Hermetic Alchemy, Tat is destined to become a controversial, cult-classic series that will challenge your preconceptions of reality and the very nature of consciousness itself.
