A gorgeously surreal and twisted descent into the earth, Satania follows a girl accompanied by an assorted band of men as they pursue the trail of her missing brother — a brilliant researcher who believed that Darwin's theory of evolution proved the existence of hell itself. Reverent believers, wide-eyed scientists, and a disillusioned priest are all included within the search party, and soon find all of their sacred truths burnt to ash. Following the uniquely disturbing fairy tale they conjured in Beautiful Darkness, Vehlmann and Kerascoet's Satania turns the earth itself into a metaphor for the human condition. How deep and how dark do these depths go? Recommended By Cosima C., Powells.com
