That's the price he has to pay for using the occult to get sexual kicks while manipulating everyone around him. Sometimes Callan claims to be the victim of a state-sponsored mind control programme, at others, the man in charge of the whole operation. The thing is, Callan has a thousand different identities, and a range of London apartments, disciples, lovers, and possibly murder victims to go with the lifestyle. Come Before Christ and Murder Love is a tale of mental disorder, magic, London food, thought control and human sacrifice. Stewart Home's outrageous new novel explores sex and the occult both as ideologies and ways of organizing 'knowledge'. |

| Publisher Description: Kevin Callan's past keeps catching up with him. That's the price for using the occult to get his sexual kicks while manipulating everyone around him. Sometimes Callan claims to be the victim of a state mind-control programme, at others, the man in charge. As Callan's numerous identities are revealed as fictions, the distinct geographical locations of Greenwich and Spitalfields in South and East London merge to form the metafictional landscape of rain-sodden Greenfields.
