Ancestors of

by Geminica

Thanks for picking up Ancestors of Hair Metal!

This is dedicated to Rachel, Pilar, and Jessica - the other members of the hair metal band of my heart.

Thanks to my partner Mike Sugarbaker for his invaluable help and feedback in this volume. Some of the words and ideas here are his; all the love for hair metal is mine.

I’m Kalina. You can find me online at http://www.geminica.com, on twitter @geminica, and my email address is geminica@gmail.com.

Mr. Edgar C. DeVille

Once a successful apothecary, Mr. DeVille

was ultimately imprisoned after the

neighbor’s cat dragged in evidence that led

to his conviction as a poisoner.

Lady Amelia Rose

Lady Rose often yearned to move back

to her home town of Paradise Village

where she insisted the grasses were

considerably more verdant.

Mr. Stanley Elliott

Mr. Elliott was a Sheffield steelworker

for many years, but unfortunately

developed a penchant for setting

buildings alight and ended up in a mental

institution.

His patriotism was never questioned.

Mr. Langsley Kitaen (and companion)

Mr. Langsley Kitaen (and companion)

Rabbi Ambrose Roth

Rabbi Roth was often on bad terms with his rabbinical brethren, due to his flamboyant

personality and pants.

Sister Diane Snyder

A rebel within the abbey, Sister Diane was a

fierce critic of common parenting practices

and education of the time. Attempts to do

good in the community often left her bitter

and gratuitously violent.

Miss Abigail Vai

Abigail invented the world’s first two-

handled parasol, which unfortunately did

not meet with commercial success.
