Curse of the Lion (reprint edition)

The Curse of the Lion (1922) includes twelve loosely connected Club Stories of vengeance, murder, and the supernatural from Darkest Africa. Ghosts, curses, and lost races mix with slave-traders, marauders, and "ape men." Set in the era of British Imperialism, F. A. M. Webster explores the darkness within the human heart while his characters explore territories unknown. Note: This reprint contains racial epithets, ethnic stereotypes, and colonial attitudes, and may not be appropriate for all readers.
