Ostensibly a series of journal entries, the tale chronicles the descent into madness of Prince Sternenhoch, the German Empire €(TM)s foremost aristocrat and favorite of Kaiser €œWilly. € Having become the €œlowliest worm € at the hands of his estranged wife, Helga, the Queen of Hells, Sternenhoch eventually attains an ultimate state of
