Excerpt from The Slayer of Souls
For four years, waking or sleeping, the awful sub consciousness of supreme evil had never left her.
But now, as the Korean shore, receding into dark ness, grew dimmer and dimmer, fear subsided and grew vague as the half-forgotten memory of horror in a dream.
She stood near the steamer's stern apart from other passengers, a slender, lonely figure in her silver-fox furs, her ulster and smart little hat, watch ing the lights of yuen-san grow paler and smaller along the horizon until they looked like a level row of stars.
Under her haunted eyes Asia was slowly dis solving to a streak of vapour in the misty lustre of the moon.
