In this book: The Purple Cloud Prince Zaleski The Lord of the Sea The Last Miracle
The Purple Cloud
Sheil's free-flowing and persuasive style of writing produces a convincing portrait of Adam Jefferson -- a man who, upon returning alone from an expedition to the North Pole, learns that a world-wide catastrophe has left him the last man on Earth.
The House of Sounds
Shiel was a West-Indian author domiciled in Britain. He was an early writer of science fiction novels, this one, written in 1911. The book is set in Norway and the writer makes use of the brooding, silent landscapes to add atmosphere to his story.
Vaila
"Vaila" or "The House of Sounds" is a gloomy tale revolving around a five-century-old manor built over a waterfall on a remote island called Vaila somewhere in the North Seas. Fascinating appearance of this incredible building is enhanced by the image of Harfager, last of his tribe, who looms through the mention's halls waiting for his hour to come.

After breakfast Hogarth goes down Thring Street, and spends a penny for a notebook. But this was no day for interest in stationery; for under the paper-shop were newspaper placards bearing such words as: "THE EARTH IN DANGER: SHALL WE PERISH TONIGHT?"
