M. P. Shiel 
Delphi Collected Works of M. P. Shiel (Illustrated) 

The early twentieth century writer M. P. Shiel was a master of supernatural horror and science-fiction romances. ‘The Purple Cloud’ (1901), a dystopian, post-apocalyptic novel, is an important milestone in the development of science fiction literature, regarded by some as the best of all ‘Last Man’ novels.
