Description
Excerpt from The Monster-Hunters
Mystery and marvel are the gates to that wild world where the Monsters of the past lived out their monstrous lives. Adventure that carries one into those steaming coal forests, into those black and reptile-haunted swamps, that sets one face to face with the sprawling brood of giants, terribly menacing and terribly true, holds a thrill peculiar to itself. So startling, so madly strange seem the conditions that we scarcely dare to be lieve the adventure true, and then, the slow proc esses of Time turn one by one the pages of that age-old book, and the most extravagant ?ight of the imagination is outdistanced by facts.
