“It’s about a necromancer – obviously – who made a deal with the devil to acquire his necromancy, in exchange for his soul. And then he decides he wants it back. He travels to hell and avoids a bunch of paperwork, and confronts Satan, who presents him with a new deal. Satan provides him with a hellish carnival on a train and declares that if, in one year, Johannes can procure one hundred souls for him, he can have his soul back. Cabal has no problem doing this. He’s definitely an anti-hero. But he’s also traveling with his brother Horst, who is a vampire, and Cabal’s conscience in a lot of ways. It’s really funny.
