Hell in LAMB UC is a “faux over faux” multimedia piece housed in the 

popular web host of My Space.com that investigates the fate of characters, 

joints and publications found in Hunter S. Thompson lost novel THE RUM 

DIARY.

Set in a thriving yet decadent colony of the U.S. in the late 50’s, the 

book has been source of countless myths and speculation surrounding 

fictional and actual places and personalities.

These confusing tales not only involve Thompson passing as weary reporter 

Paul Kemp or the willing abduction and rape of his desired Chenault, but 

Pulitzer Prize winner William J. Dorvillier channeling a good friend of the 

author and editor of a bowling publication El Sportivo, William Kennedy.

Neither Kennedy nor Thompson lived more than two years in the island of 

Puerto Rico.

Just like Thompson managed to capture the idiosyncrasies and atmosphere of 

the hot hub in the Caribbean, Pedro Velez has developed, in a two month 

self - imposed sabbatical, an intricate and non-linear narrative lead by 

four main characters: Hell in LAMB UC, Ann Lee, Huntergodfs and 

Staged Metal Party.

The four characters introduce the viewer to a web of connections, images, 

false characters, text and profiles that rips thru the My Space sphere like 

a manic Gonzo reporter burned with the hot rums of Puerto Rico.
