Greg Webber is going to die on stage. He’s going to be up there drenched in sweat, veins bulging from his neck, singing his guts out, when something is going to pop. He’s going to do it for you, and for rock and roll, and for all the blood, sweat, and tears that go into performing. Seeing Kill Chicago live is like watching an act of self immolation.

Todd Allen: Dark Fiction in Saint Andrews
Todd Allen has taken the plunge from reading books to writing them with his debut novel, Sacra Obscurum.
