The time is right for the return of the elder gods, and the battle that will decide the fate of the world will take place on the outskirts of London. A strange cast of characters -- wizards, witches, druids, killers, mad scientists, vampires, and werewolves -- converge to gather ingredients for their respective spells. Some will try to open the way, some will try to close it; but who is playing on each side, and, more importantly, who is playing both? It's up to Jack the Ripper and his faithful dog Snuff to unravel the mystery and save mankind. | ||
