Since Odysseus' curious crew first unleashed the bag of winds
gifted him by Aeolus, the God of Winds, literature has been awash
with tales of bad or strange weather. From the flood myths of
Babylon, the Mahabharata and the Bible, to twentieth-century
psychological storms, this foray into troubled waters, heat waves,
severe winters, hurricanes and hailstones, offers the perfect read
on a rainy day -- or night. Featuring a selection of some of the
finest writers in the English language -- Algernon Blackwood,
Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe and more
-- this collection of weird tales will delight and disturb.
