Lost Souls Short Stories Roger Luckhurst 9781786648051

A collection of new tales with brilliant new writers and lost souls from the darkest corners of literature and legend: Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer mingles with Dante's infernal spirits and a retold tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Byrne, Rachael Cudlitz, C.R. Evans, Geneve Flynn, Adele Gardner, Anne Gresham, Sara M. Harvey, Kurt Hunt, Michael Matheson, J.A.W. McCarthy, John M. McIlveen, Jessica Nickelsen, Michael Penncavage, Lina Rather, Alexandra Renwick, Aeryn Rudel, Lizz-Ayn Shaarawi, Erin Skolney, Lucy A. Snyder, David Tallerman, and Damien Angelica Walters.
