Day 22 of Blogtober, I look at a very old horror/adventure novel by Bertram Mitford! This novel is fascinating because the protagonist is definitely an anti-hero, as he becomes a literal slaver. His journey is both a physical and a spiritual one, a descent into the deepest parts of Africa and the darkest parts of the human soul. One of my favorite novels of all time!
