Thorne Smith Fantasy Collection

Thorne Smith

In the Fantasy Collection, Thorne Smith keeps our eyes glued to the words as he blends satire, charm and imagination into his fascinating stories. In this Collection are five Thorne Smith novels: Skin and Bones, The Glorious Pool, The Night Life of the Gods, The Stray Lamb, Topper.

Mr. Bland, is he a man or a skeleton? After this well-known photographer attempts to perfect X-ray film, something went terribly awry as he transforms from flesh to bone and back again without warning. Will he escape unharmed, or end up a pile of bones?

And in another magical, mischievous classic, Rex is still caught in limbo between his wife and his mistress of twenty years. Wild hook-and-ladder rides, police chases, flowing cocktails and different levels of undress bring to life the possibility of the fountain of youth.

We meet the epitome of a 'mad' scientist, as he adventures to delights with his leprechaun girlfriend. After transforming statues into people (and vice versa) in his home town, he moves to the Greek gods in the Metropolitan Museum. You'll have quite a few laughs mixed in with social commentary.

A hilarious string of adventures of poor, ordinary, faithful, Mr. Lamb who exchanges the mundane for the slightly insane when a chance encounter leads him to experience the world through the eyes of various animals.

And lastly, this hilarious and ribald comedy about boring and staid bank manager Cosmo Topper who decides to buy a flashy car only to discover it is haunted by its previous owners whose mischievous spirits make it their mission to lead the respectable Topper astray and give him a fresh outlook on life."[Thorne Smith] created the modern American ghost. A ghost with style and wit. A ghost that haunts us still." - The New York Times
