The face of a human foetus is formed by three rotating parts – one with the right eye, one with the left eye, and one with the mouth – meeting and growing together in the philtrum, resting on the cupid’s bow. These parts represent the Trinity.
The timeless love story of a saint and a serial killer: Joan of Arc and Gilles de Rais must navigate the mechanics of genocide in a mystical apocalypse. EGREGORE or, the Trinity of the Philtrum, expands on the uniquely disturbing obsessions Hector Meinhof first revealed in Three Nails, Four Wounds: A journey into a winter landscape where mediaeval and contemporary visions of the last days combine, and horrifying rituals are played out for the gratification of a cruel divinity and mischievous child saints...

Hector Meinhof made his debut as an author in 2018 with Three Nails, Four Wounds, published by Infinity Land Press. His style is beautiful and cruel, intense yet delicate, hallucinatory and prophetic - a hermeneutic eschatology that chronicles the future. His poetic prose and the doom-laden pictures bleed into one tortured, corporeal unity, like illustrated scriptures for the new dark ages.
