Published only once in book form a half-century ago in a
collector's edition of 1500 copies, this great science-fantasy
sells for more than $100 today. Written by the woman whose
pseudonym was Francis Stevens, it has been hailed as the first
alternate history novel. Fantasy master H. P. Lovecraft hailed
Francis Stevens as among "the top grade of writers." "The Heads of
Cerberus" tells of "an alternate-world Philadelphia, reached by a
handful of this-world people. This Philadelphia is one in which the
political corruptors have become ruthless autocrats, ruling through
phony "civic service" competitions which result in cynically brutal
enslavement of the people. The name of William Penn has become,
under the organizational label of "Penn Service," the very
fountainhead of viciously depraved, dictatorial government.
Definitely a classic and fun to read."
