The author of The Odin Brotherhood and The Crimes of Jehovah, Professor Mark L. Mirabello lectures on Intellectual History, the History of Medicine, and Alternative Religions and Cults at Shawnee State University in the USA. Formerly a visiting Professor at Nizhni Novgorod State University in Russia, he has a Ph.D. from the University of Glasgow. This fictional narrative, The Cannibal Within,  is based upon a real life encounter with a person not unlike the anonymous antiheroine whose story Professor Mirabello retells.
