COVER STORY

We're back.
Again.

After eight quiet years, Hellmouth Central climbs out of its grave with twenty-plus years of recovered archives.

The server got old, the forum went dark, and a good chunk of the archive went missing. We dug most of it back up, from old databases, old backups and the Wayback Machine. The rants are here. The columns are here. The Slayer Encyclopedia is here, from Halfrek to Hyena Possession. Some of it is still missing, and the Back Issues page says exactly what.
