Description
Claimed is a dark fantasy novel by Francis Stevens, published in 1920 under her pseudonym Gertrude Barrows Bennett. This final novel has been recognised for its unique blend of nautical adventure and the occult.
A merchant vessel's voyage at sea leads to the discovery of a recently formed volcanic island, where they find a mysterious block of metallic green metal. The artifact eventually ends up in the collection of Jesse J. Robinson, an antiquarian from Tremont, who becomes embroiled in a strange and terrifying series of hallucinations.
As Doctor John Vanaman investigates the nature of the box, he uncovers a dark history surrounding its original owner and the dealer who sold it to Robinson. With its blend of mystery, horror and fantasy, Claimed remains a powerful tale that continues to appeal to readers today.
