Synopsis

Supernatural pseudo-scientific weirdness dealing with the emerging science of Necrology and the discoverer of the revolutionary Necrolite. Allen Upward coined the word "Scientology" in 1901, and committed suicide in 1926 when George Bernard Shaw won the Nobel Prize, an honour which Upward considered due to himself.
