God's Playthings

By: Bowen, Marjorie

Across courts, battlefields, monasteries, and shadowed chambers, human lives are caught in forces larger than themselves-ambition, fate, cruelty, devotion, guilt, and the supernatural.

In God's Playthings, Marjorie Bowen gathers a series of dark historical tales in which the past becomes a stage for obsession, betrayal, spiritual terror, and strange reversals of fortune. Kings, nobles, soldiers, priests, and ordinary men and women find themselves tested by circumstances that expose both the grandeur and the corruption of the human soul.

Rich in Gothic atmosphere and steeped in the violence, superstition, and mystery of earlier ages, these stories move between historical drama and the uncanny, revealing a world in which destiny can be merciless and the boundary between divine judgment, chance, and human wrongdoing is never entirely clear.

God's Playthings is a haunting collection of historical and supernatural fiction from one of the most distinctive voices in early twentieth-century Gothic literature.
