This final fantastical outing by horror great Chambers is amusing, but pale compared to his earlier works. Nestled in-between his once-popular parlor romances, 'Police!' continues the fantastical stories of Dr. Percy, ever searching the world for zoological discoveries and love, and doomed never to find either. Chambers apes Twain more than Bierce in these comical tales, and while he hits some high points, these stories are, altogether, more amusing than intriguing.

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Robert William Chambers (1865 - 1933) was an American artist, and author of fiction. He is best known for his book of short stories entitled "The King in Yellow" (1895). POLICE is a volume of xenobiology: cryptozoology. Weird monsters and strange relics from the fossil eras; things which ought never to have walked upon the face of this earth. But they have walked among us. And I have seen them. And I have told the world. It has caused a certain madeness among the people. I can't be hold to account, can I? This sequel to "In Search of the Unknown" contains such stories as The Third Eye, The Immortal, The Ladies of the Lake, One Over, Un Peu d'Amour and The Eggs of the Silver Moon.
