Comments on: 15 Influential Early Works of Apocalyptic Fiction http://listverse.com/2009/05/19/15-influential-early-works-of-apocalyptic-fiction/ Ultimate Top 10 Lists - Listverse Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:24:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Pakaal http://listverse.com/2009/05/19/15-influential-early-works-of-apocalyptic-fiction/comment-page-1/#comment-423749 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 04:18:38 +0000 http://listverse.com/literature/15-influential-early-works-of-apocalyptic-fiction/#comment-423749 Free download, it’s in the common domain now. Here’s the link to Project Gutenberg:

Be warned, it’s not the easiest read. The first third is political intrigue, social commentary, it doesn’t pick up until Volume II. For what it’s worth I thought it was worth the effort, the novel is better than early critics suggest, and much more complex than a simple allegory of Shelley’s friends.

And btw,the title of the short story is: Snow,Glass,Apples by Neil Gaiman.Enjoy!

Too many semantic blunders.
