      About This Book

      Considered by some critics to be the most flamboyant works of the English decadent movement.

      August Derleth said M.P. Shiel was ". . . the Grand Viscount of the Grotesque . . . [with a] refulgently fanciful imagination and magical command of the English language."

      Arthur Machen said, "Here is a wilder wonderland than Poe ever dreamt of . . . It is Poe, perhaps, but Poe with an unearthly radiance."
