Told in extensive and often grisly detail, this is a chilling account of the Galveston, Texas, hurricane of 1900, which claimed the lives of eight thousand people--the deadliest (and second costliest) natural disaster in U.S. history. The fictionalized narrative often reads more like nonfiction than a novel; unfortunately no sources are included. Not for the fainthearted.
