Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was one of the most well known writers of the 20th century. The City of Dreadful Night paints a gritty, dark picture of a hot summer night within a walled city in the Orient. The narrator steps over sleeping people which mimic corpses — and vividly depicts what he sees, feels, and hears in this death-like city. An Author's Republic audio production.
