Strange Forces

Originally published in 1906, the fantastic tales of STRANGE FORCES make a significant contribution to Gaslight Era science fiction. Considered one of the major Latin American writers of this century, Leopoldo Lugones was an influential cultural and literary figure in Argentina who published more than thirty-five volumes ranging from novels to political commentary. "Lugones, regarded by many critics as a worthy heir to Wells and Poe, shows his mastery of the macabre and grotesque by relating tales of terror in his distinctively florid style...Wonderfully literate and just plain creepy, this collection will make a worthy addition to any library" - Booklist.
