I Take The Embers Of Your Anger, And I Spark Up My Cigar...
I got a real nice piece
With a handle of bone
A good friend to have
When you're out on you're own
But you don't miss twice...
When you're shavin' with a knife
The new DELTA GREEN book is amusing; sadly, a lot of the chapters are simply extrapolated and updated gewgaws from the mailing-list, along with more fluff. But still - you've gotta love the idea of an 'immortal' cult of Colombian drug-lords ('Los Brujos' / The Warlocks) who are anally raped to infect them with the bizarre other-worldly tapeworms that, for the price of intense and permanent pain, give you the power over life and death. And if they don't dose themselves up on marching powder or other high-grade narcotics, they balloon up and start shitting out handfuls of baby tape-worms who really want to get to know you. Personally. In the bum-bum.
"The oldest references to the Disciples of the Worm come from Ludvig Prinn’s De Vermis Mysteriis, or ‘The Mysteries of the Worm.’ The old Flemish wizard claims he studied with a group he called the “Children of the Worm” while he was traveling in Syria in the 13th century. He described them as a cult of Saracen sorcerers who gained immortality by permitting demons to possess them. Although invited to join the cult, Prinn opted not to, hinting that there was some kind of unspeakable sodomy involved with the possession process.
The mid-19th century German occultist Friedrich von Junzt claimed, in his book Unaussprechlichen Kulten, to have discovered the same ‘Children of the Worm’ operating in the Vietnamese then-capital of Hue as opium dealers. Strangely, von Junzt asserted that the cult’s leaders were the very same Saracens that Prinn had encountered some six centuries before in Damascus. He described these ‘Children’ as glassy-eyed opium fiends who spent nearly every waking hour sucking on opium pipes. Von Junzt marveled at their ability to consume such vast quantities of opium without falling into incoherent stupors. Von Junzt never got close to the Children of the Worm. He gathered his information through interviewing opium addicts, French traders, rival opium runners and occasionally through clandestine surveillance. Von Junzt learned that the Children’s massive appetite for opium had something to do with the painful side effects of the demonic possession that granted them immortality..."
