Description

The early twentieth century writer M. P. Shiel was a master of supernatural horror and science-fiction romances. 'The Purple Cloud' (1901), a dystopian, post-apocalyptic novel, is an important milestone in the development of science fiction literature, regarded by some as the best of all 'Last Man' novels. His pioneering works went on to influence important writers like H. G. Wells and Stephen King. This comprehensive eBook presents Shiel's collected works, with numerous illustrations, many rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
