Publishing News Letters by Shiel Essays on Shiel Genealogy ... Cover Art, Books M. P. Shiel The Lord of Language M. P. Shiel wrote twenty-five novels and dozens of short stories, most of them romantic mysteries or fast-paced adventures, several dealing with world conquest. Others are distinctly supernatural or border on science fiction. Most are interspersed with discourses on his philosophy and sociology of the Overman. And most, regardless of genre, were written in Shiel's patented poetic prose. His early novel The Purple Cloud (1901) is a classic "last man on earth" story and probably his masterpiece. H. G. Wells called it "colossal... [a] brilliant novel." A New York Post review declared the author to be "a genius drunk with the hottest juices of our language." Shiel's work drew high praise from many notable writers and critics: E. M. Benson: "[Shiel's work is] a glorious excursion into the incredible." E. F. Bleiler "His stories are a welter of stylistic sound effects. " Jules Claretie "The Purple Cloud should live as long as the Odyssey." August Derleth "[He was] the Grand Viscount of the Grotesque... [with a] refulgently fanciful imagination and magical command of the English language."

These include Prince Zaleski Shapes of Fire Cold Steel Contraband of War The Purple Cloud (1901) and Lord of the Sea . Shiel died on February 17, 1947, at a hospital in Chichester.
