• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Literary artists such T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf loom large in most accounts of the literary art of the first half of the 20th century. And yet, working in the shadows casts by these modernists were science fiction, horror, and fantasy writers like the â Weird Tales Threeâ : H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard.
