  Peter Storm was sold to the Devil at birth.  
    
  As a boy, he ran away from home to escape a satanic father and an uncaring mother -- and ended up begging in the streets of a pitiless city. 
  After joining a gang of street kids, he rose to be their leader. Peter became a callous criminal, preying on the weak and defenseless, dreaming of bloodshed. 
  Adopted by a Satanist, he attended his first black sabbath. He was excited by all the occult happenings -- sex orgies and possession by foul rampaging demons. Peter took the name of Sephtis and became a high priest. He carried out blood sacrifices in the name of Satan and spread disorder in the Christian ranks by posing as a youth pastor. 
  He raped, murdered, and destroyed with no conscience. For his loyalty to the Prince of Darkness outweighed any other cause.  
    
  But there was a price to be paid. And when that payment fell due, Peter Storm would face the ultimate horror . . .

  This story deals with the obvious fact that we humans are split, dual. We have urges to do the 'right' thing, to be honorable and wise, but we also frequently fail to follow these better instincts and follow instead urges to do dishonorable, evil things. We seem to battle within ourselves. Are we really composed of two different personalities housed within the same brain, within the same person? Dr Jeckyll in this story is so convinced and manages by scientific means to actually split himself into his ordinary composite self, and his evil self whom he calls Mr. Hyde. The horror of this unnatural split is well documented here and shows what might happen were this possible.

  The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.
  Mannequins in Aspects of Terror: The office tower had long fascinated me. The building dominated the skyline in the Euston area of London and consisted of twenty-seven floors with an exterior of green, dark glass.
