PLUTONIAN PARODIES by Rhys Hughes

“…what might be dream in others, in Hughes, is material accessible to his waking mind. If Edgar Allan Poe were living, he could probably analyse it and tell us something about the Rhys Hughes who amazes us.” – Everett F. Bleiler

Plutonian Parodies – For more than twenty years Rhys Hughes has been producing carefully crafted parodies of his favourite authors, parodies written with love as well as a comic appreciation of the dark side. Now gathered together under one cover are the three parodies he regards as his finest. Three sly but deeply affectionate twists of the knife into the hearts of Poe, Lovecraft and Hemingway. He says they asked for it. Really they did. Honest!
