And now it appeared that there was a mysterious Queen clothed by rumor with dread and wonderful attributes, and commonly known by the impersonal but, to my mind, rather awesome title of She.
With She, H. Rider Haggard polished the literary "lost world" odyssey. Coming upon an underground civilization more ancient than the world of pharaohs, a group of adventurers catch the attention of Ayesha, the sorceress queen.
Gothic grotesqueries, penny dreadfuls, pulp magazines, and other darkly inventive publications have produced a dread allure across the world, infiltrating culture and influencing language, becoming the source for multiple adaptations across all forms of media. Curated and edited by C.S.R. Calloway, Horror Historia brings together the most influential monsters and original gothic stories in one blood-curdling collection. Collect each volume and complete the ultimate nightmare pantheon.
