About the Cabal
Formulated as a "book club" or a "fan group", the Secret Cabal of Despair is loosely formed around the uncanny works of author JM Guillen. This organization of madfolk spend their days in internet forums arguing over cloning velociraptors, the nuances of necromancy, and the simplest way to slaughter the sun.
Of course, they also read his meandering works, obliterating their minds with psychedelic prose. Few survive this process unchanged.
The single best way to communicate with this enigmatic group is through odd missives received via e-mail. In order to reach out to them, one must be willing to receive free books, be part of bizarre online games, and constantly ruminate on world domination.
Be warned.
Who is responsible for this monstrosity?
JM Guillen was just an average Joe who worked at the ol' Necromancy factory in 2018. He worked there on the bone line, just like his father and his grandfather before him.
After his job was outsourced to Mexico, he went irrevocably mad, gifted with strange, terrible power. Today he spends his time creating sentient fiction in his secret lair and summoning fell powers best left alone. Soon, the goal of absolute domination of his tri-state area will be almost within his grasp.
Once Missouri falls, nothing will stop him.
Occasionally, he writes bangin' fiction.
In her life before, Cherie Lee loved books and stories of all kinds. Fifteen years ago, quite by chance, she stumbled upon the weird works of JM Guillen AND WAS DRIVEN COMPLETELY MAD BY THE SHEER AMOUNT OF COMMA SPLICES AND INCORRECT USE OF POSSESSIVE NOUNS.
Immediately, she began frantically editing his grammar, paying little heed to his rambling about "world domination" and "beings of pure chaos." With her assistance, he actually began to finish things that looked like books.
Today, her name is Cherie Guillen. So it seems as if things worked out, even with the wild rants.
Born beneath a dire and forlorn star, Caitlyn Guillen spent her earliest years drinking paint thinner and inventing colors no one had ever heard of. She splattered unnatural scenes all across her bedroom walls, rambling about "incomprehensible hues" and "colors that shine from behind the world."
SO OF COURSE, HER FATHER ASKED IF SHE COULD DESIGN BOOK COVERS! EVIL ONES!
Typically, Caitlyn spends her hours alone in her darkened room, muttering about color saturation and stock photos. One day, she will somehow create the perfect image and end mankind's suffering forever.
