Long before The Hunger Games… Before even Philip K. Dick or H.P. Lovecraft… This 1919 pulp classic explored a nightmarish alternative reality where America’s ruling class forces the poor to compete in deadly games. Win, and you’ll earn a lifetime of fame and luxury. But the games are rigged, and a public execution awaits all who dare to try. When a seventeen-year-old girl from our own world follows her adventurous brother and his friend, a disgraced lawyer-turned-thief, across a shadowy hell dimension and into this horrific new reality, their only hope for survival is to win the unwinnable contest. “A fast-paced, imaginative yarn” (Kirkus Reviews) by the woman who “arguably invented dark fantasy” (Publishers Weekly), The Heads of Cerberus helped define and popularize dystopian fiction as a genre and is the first science-fiction novel to explore parallel worlds.
