Tales - Paperback

by Adrian Aidan Smith (Author)

TALES of the far future and distant past. TALES of fantasy and terror. TALES that witness madness. These are 14 stories, with 14 illustrations, that transport the reader to an underground world where saboteurs creep to destroy cities, or to a swamp millions of years ago where four beings go in lust for gold, or to a man in New York who finds himself pressed into service to save a supernatural being on the run who is hunted by inhuman things. Inspired by the great pulp writings of a century ago, these tales are full with wizards, creatures, and haunted caves. READER BE WARNED: these tales contain dark themes of violence and madness, containing period specific attitudes that may trouble the modern reader, and nightmares that may well prove contagious.
