Clayton Claw Cleaver Clementine of The Three Glands is a medical rarity.On a grey cold day he sets off westwards to take up residence in the vast haunted edifice of Charnel Castle. Clementine, a polite unknown unsung product of the new world and recently recovered by a miraculous cure from a long decline, alights at an empty crossroads. Standing lonely on its windswept hillside, the great turrets and battlements rear in the sky.Clementine, destitute but for his monstrous dog Elmer and a collection of toothbrushes, enters this ancient stone fortress.Madness triumphs over love, beasts over man, chaos over reason and, for the moment, life over death.
