The Subterranean Brotherhood by Julian Hawthorne Fiction Classics Horror Action & Adventure

<p><strong>I did not know at the start what the thing would be like at the finish and I made small effort to make it look shapely and smooth; but the inward impulse in me to write it somehow was irresistible in spite of the other impulse to go off somewhere and rest and forget it all. </strong>But I felt that if it were not done then it might never be done at all; and done it must be at any cost. I had promised my mates in prison that I would do it and I was under no less an obligation though an unspoken one to give the public an opportunity to learn at first hand what prison life is and means.-- Julian Hawthorne</p>
