Description

Graham Young had always been a strange child whose fascination with poisons saw him employing his extensive expertise to procure lethal quantities of various toxic substances with which to experiment. When he missed out on observing their full effects on his schoolmate, Graham decided to use the chemistry set his father had given him to target his entire family. After causing one death and numerous illnesses, the teenager was sent to Broadmoor, but not even this maximum-security mental hospital could get between Graham and his poisonous passion.
