Description

An imaginative tour-de-force that examines the nature and desires of humanity, from Antiquity to the present day.

Highlighting the roots of suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories, the books in Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure.
