Description
A brilliant early dystopian tale of classic science fiction. The Last Man is a powerful post-apocalyptic story and a precursor to much later science fiction novels by the likes of H.G. Wells, George Orwell, Philip K. Dick, and Harlan Ellison. Overshadowed by the titanic success of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's neglected masterpiece tells of a future devastated by plague. Lionel Varney, a lazy nobleman, is immune to the cruel effects of the disease bitten by an early victim. Varney is forced to witness the long decline of civilization as humanity slowly succumbs to extinction.
FLAME TREE 451: From mystery to crime, from the supernatural to horror and fantasy, to science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a hearty diet of werewolves and mechanical men, bloodthirsty vampires, nefarious villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations, and escapist fantasies. Discover a repository of stories collected especially for the fantasy reader. Each book includes a brand new biography and a glossary of literary, Gothic, and Victorian terms.
Unique titles and a wide range of authors are the hallmark of Flame Tree Publishing.
