SATAN CAME TO EDEN

by ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 20, 1936

A sensational account of the much publicized goings on of an oddly asserted group on an Island in the Galapagos. Dore Straugh has gone there with a Dr. Riitter, to test out their shared theories of the simple life. But scientific investigation and observation is interrupted by occasional visits of yachts, trading vessels, and ultimately five young Germans, with whom they manage to escape much contact. Then the disrupting force of the notorious ""Baroness"" and her lovers arrives on the scene, and the balance of the story tells of emotions gone rampant,evil in the air, eventually madness and murder. As told it sounds credible though fantastic. Market -- sensation seekers, readers who have followed the story from time to time in the papers, readers who like to delve into morbid human interest material.
