A solid retelling of the rise of Agamemnon from idealistic youth to
bloodsoaked king. A vivid picture emerges of the Bronze Age in all its
glory - magnificent palaces, beautiful women and the stuggle for
survival for those who aim for the throne. Shipman's prose is sharp,
often funny and suprisingly modern in feel. Agamemnon himself emerges as
a latter day JR Ewing - canny, cunning and complex, the complete
anti-hero. Views: 51

Machen's "A Double Return" was one of a number of pieces first published in the "St James Gazette», in the year 1890. This was the year in which he turned away from tales set in the past, and began to write more racy fiction set in his own time. «A Double Return» was the most successful of these pieces; Oscar Wilde, then at the height of his own success, predicted that it would «flutter the dovecotes». Even today readers may find this a very adult, perhaps a shocking, story. Views: 51
