H G Wells & Louisa May Alcott 
Murderous Nature – A Short Story Collection 
The deadliest killer is the world around you

Humanity depends on Nature for everything. Without her resources and bounty, we would not exist. Despite our on-going depletion of her wares, she simply gets on with her work. Her seasons turn, life continues.But it seems Nature has a darker, more malevolent side. Something insidious, almost devilish.In this collection of short story gems Nature indeed takes another look at humanity and decides she would rather not be at their mercy and will.Through the words of these classic authors including Hawthorne, M R James, Schwob, Alcott, H G Wells and many others Nature vents her fury, her more malign and malicious designs upon men and women who have regrettably displeased her.
