Description
Guests from other planets have long been obsessed with us. H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds sparked a huge wave of speculative fiction, but the roots of such fears go deep into our literature, where the secrets of other cultures have long threatened what is known and comfortable. Did aliens build ancient pyramids? Do they live among us today? What happens when they attack? Are they just people from a neighboring valley? or country? or planet? Would it be an inevitable act of aggression, aid, and care, or simply a reminder of our miserable existence in a crowded universe? The successful Gothic Fantasy series from Flame Tree offers a brilliant, new blend of classic and contemporary writing in this beautiful edition. These new authors appear alongside the following classic and important writers: George Tomkyns Chesney, George Allan England, Austin Hall, H.P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt, Robert Potter, Garrett P. Serviss, Jonathan Swift, Voltaire, H.G. Wells; along with the text from The Taking of Ireland (tales from the Book of Invasion).
Popular titles and a wide range of authors reflect Flame Tree Publishing's portfolio.
