Full of sex, over-indulgence, drinking, and supernatural transformations, this is a text that will appeal to lovers of the bizarre. It is certainly not to be missed by fans and collectors of Smith's work. James Thorne Smith, Jnr. (1892 - 1934) was an American writer famous for his comical supernatural fantasy fiction novels. Coupled with scandalous illustrations, his novels sold millions of copies in the 1930s and continued to be popular over the next two decades.
