More Minor Horrors
A. E. (Arthur Everett), Sir Shipley
Cockroaches skittering across the mess tent, warble-flies burrowing under cattle hide, and the malaria-carrying Anopheles whining at dusk: Shipley catalogues the small creatures that plague soldiers and civilians alike. Written with a zoologist's precision and a wry eye, it names the lice, mosquitoes and vermin most books politely ignore. Meet the tiny enemies living closer than you think.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
