A parody of the fantastic adventure novel of the Edgar Rice Burroughs school -- but it's more than just parody, and plenty weird besides. Finney's stuff is very unusual, but oddly satisfying.

The Unholy City is one of the most remarkable novels of fantastic adventure ever written. The nightmare City of Heilar-Wey, with its ghoulish pleasures, its zany riots, and a giant tiger ravening in its streets, is not a nice place to visit - but it's a delight to read about! - from the cover. This book actually holds 2 short novels: The Unholy City (an update of a 1937 novel) and The Magician out of Manchuria: an exotic saga of the travels of the Magician, a lost Queen of remarkable talents, and their very odd companions, in search of a far land where magic may still live-a story of perils, pratfalls, and pure enchantment.

Finney is also the author of "The Circus of Doctor Lao."
