In which our protagonist sets fire to cities all over the world. Celebrate the eerie, visionary brilliance of Shiel’s cult classic by setting fire to something. Actually, no, don't!
M. P. Shiel’s The Purple Cloud must be one of the strangest, most hypnotic 'last man' novels ever written. This visionary work follows Adam Jeffson, the last man on Earth, as he wanders a dead world, the sole survivor of a mysterious purple cloud that has wiped out all of humanity. What begins as an adventure, however, soon transforms into something far more odd. This book is a trip: a hallucinatory meditation on love, loss, power, destiny, and the terrifying grandeur of absolute solitude.
One of the most unique and unsettling books ever written, this tee is a must for fans of psychological horror and apocalyptic fiction alike.
