Palaeontological fiction is about lost worlds inhabited by dinosaurs and the distant ancestors of modern humans. These are exciting journeys through the abysses of time and encounters with antediluvian monsters that miraculously survived to our times. These are stories about primitive people and the life of creatures that turned into fossils millions of years ago... The collection “Ancient Horror” includes works by Western writers created in the 1900-1930s. Many of them have been translated into Russian for the first time.
