  • "A woman is raped and a child is born. His name is Jeffrey Harper Raines, but he quickly assumes his true name: Baal. His mother puts him in an orphanage, where he leads the children on a rampage of violence. This is the beginning of a life which unleashes unimaginable evil upon the world."@en
  • "The story begins with a horrific rape on the streets of New York City. Nine months after that violation, a most unusual child is born. His name is Jeffrey Harper Raines, but he quickly assumes his true name--and true purpose--as Baal, a new incarnation of the ancient prince of demons. The narrative recounts his lethal progress through the 20th century, which begins with the destruction of his earthly 'family.' From there, Jeffrey/Baal moves to a doomed Catholic orphanage, where he unleashes carnage on an unprecedented scale, then out into the wider world, where he embraces his destiny as the Prophet of the Damned, generating a legacy of chaos, violence, and despair."@en
