The Life of Polycrates

Myth and imagination are confronted with historical precision in Brendan Connell's newest collection of short fiction, bringing together a number of stories previously published in journals and anthologies as well as never before published material that includes the novella 'The Life of Polycrates', describing the rise to power of the ancient Greek ruler, his eccentric deeds and the fantastic personalities around him.

This is a book of bizarre histories and cerebral studies that explores the darkest passages of the human heart and brightest depravities of the human mind.
