SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I've always been fascinated by St. Augustine, because he ended up a saint but he really didn't live much like a saint. He loved women, basically. I thought it would be a great idea if I put St. Augustine in hell for his sins. He found a lot of people there he had a lot in common with."
