CAPTAIN PHILIP STRANGE: STRANGE
SPECTRES by Donald E. Keyhoe
A mental marvel from birth, who
used his talents on stage as a boy, Philip Strange is now known
as “The Phantom Ace of G-2″ by the Allies during WWI. “Horrors of
war” takes on a whole new meaning when WWI erupts with paranormal activity:
Flaming planes piloted by charred skeletons; Battleship crews that mysteriously
vanish; Medieval knights falling from the sky; The spirit of the Red
Baron himself haunting the frontlines! When World War I gets weird,
only America’s own “Phantom Ace of G-2” has a ghost of a chance against
the supernatural slaughter. Captain Philip Strange in his strangest cases
yet from the pages of Flying Aces magazine!
Take another trip through the imaginings of Donald E.
Keyhoe, where the WWI war skies are filled with giant bats, invisible
fire, and beautiful spies. And where America turns to its own unnatural
secret weapon: Captain Philip Strange. A mental marvel from birth,
he was so terrifyingly effective as the Allies’ top agent that the
Germans were offering a king’s ransom for his death. This fifth volume
of weird WWI adventures collects six stories featuring Germany’s wildest
attempts to win the war and Captain Philip Strange’s counter measures!
Stories include:
“Scourge of the Spectre,” – Flying Aces, August 1935
“Spectre of the Red Knight,” – Flying Aces, January
1932
“The Vanishing Avenger,” – Flying Aces, February 1934

SQUADRON OF THE DEAD by Frederick
C. Painton
The Squadron of the Dead contained
all the hellions of ten armies! Men without hope; men courting
death; men who loved to kill; men who laughed and fought, drank
and cursed, lived hard, and died harder. Americans, British, Russians—even
Germans—made up their ranks, and only one bond held them together:
Death lay ahead of them. They were assigned the grim missions no other
squadron dared to take—for they had all been condemned to die!
Each of the eight stories in Painton’s Squadron of the
Dead is the story of a different pilot who has been condemned to death
and sent to the squadron to serve out his sentence. And die they did,
dropping spies, bombing impossible places, strafing infantry for harassed
Allied battalions. These men flew recklessly, savagely, knowing they
could live again only when death really claimed them. Then their names
would shine once again in the casualty announcements and they would be
posthumously awarded the Legion d’Honneur.
Frederick C. Painton, a prolific pulp author and venerated
newspaper man, wrote the eight Squadron of the Dead stories contained
in this anthology in 1935 for Sky Birds magazine.
Painton is best remembered for his coverage of World
War II for Reader’s Digest magazine.
Stories include:
“Today We Die,” – Sky Birds, February 1935
“Ghosts of the Living,” – Sky Birds, March 1935
“The Glory Gambler,” – Sky Birds, April 1935
“Tarmac of Treason,” – Sky Birds, June 1935
“Death’s Dreadnaughts,” – Sky Birds, July 1935
“Legion of the Unlucky,” – Sky Birds, August 1935
“Duel of Dishonor,” – Sky Birds, September 1935
“Slaughter of the Dead,” – Sky Birds, December 1935

Chuck Miller discusses "Sherlock
Holmes: The Picture of Innocence"
Chuck Miller is the creator of some of the most
unusual characters in New Pulp. He is known for his Black Centipede
stories, Bloody Mary Jane, Little Precious, and Moriarty, Lord of
the Vampires. He now sets his sights on his first novel length
story of "Sherlock Holmes: The Picture of Innocence." This
is the REAL story upon which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his tale, "The
Sign of Four." In it Holmes and Watson early in their association
encounter Oscar Wilde and Sir Arthur himself. This is a tale of
whimsy, adventure, and the clashes of unique characters in a story that
is both familiar and new. And as always we dabble in some fascinating
tangents and discuss Chuck's larger body of work.
A true Sherlock Holmes fan does NOT want to miss this
one!

Go tell him he will feel the clutches of Sherlock
Holmes before it is over.
This collection contains five plays written between
1908 and 1916 by Spanish playwrights, who appropriated both English
and French popular characters with a considerable degree of success
in order to craft effective pastiches that are also brilliant action
drama.
Sherlock Holmes vs. Raffles and its sequel The Clutches
of Sherlock Holmes pit the Great Detective against the E. W. Hornung’s
master-thief.
The Triumph of Fantômas and The Resurrection of
Fantômas star the eponymous Genius of Evil
Finally, Arsène Lupin vs. Sherlock Holmes: The
Hollow Needle is a free adaptation of Maurice Leblanc’s masterpiece
in which the celebrated Gentleman-Burglar fights Sherlock Holmes
and Inspector Ganimard for the possession of the secret of the Kings
of France.
The often surreal quality of the action give these plays
a dream-like quality, that, however far-fetched the plot, make them
all the more scary and unnerving.

PHANTOMS
by Charles-Marie Flor O'Squarr
Adapted by Brian Stableford
Cover by Phil Cohen
Henriette has to share her bed
with that infamous putrescence; she feels it next to her.
Sometimes she attempts a desperate movement;
then the cadaver rolls off her, with the slap of a dangling arm,
and, abruptly thrust away, falls to the floor.
“Phantoms” (1885) is a classic study of a haunting,
in which the narrator refuses to admit that the apparitions from
which he suffers can be anything but hallucinations, but then ties himself
in knots trying to explain them in terms of his own psychology, which
he claims unconvincingly to be free from guilt. The story is one of the
most interesting and elaborate 19th century developments of the theme
of an ambiguous haunting, notable for its acidic artistry.
Also included in this collection are several darkly
ironic contes cruels, remarkable for their relentless quest for
originality, often striking in the unusual twists that give an extra
turn of the screw to the psychological demolition of their protagonists,
and a novella, My Interment (1893), which develops one of the classic
motifs of horror fiction, ostensibly in a thoroughly naturalistic fashion.

Her image was still filling my
mind, with all its associated passion, and adoration, when the lacquered
doors opened in front of me, and I looked into the Mirror of Dionysus, and
saw my true self.
Brian M. Stableford’s latest novel, The Mirror of Dionysius,
explores the mystery of the origins of the immortal Axel Rathenius,
who lives on the artists’ colony of Mnemosyne, an island off the northern
coast of what in our world is called France, in the Everlasting Empire,
2,000 years after the birth of the Divine Caesar...
Rathenius is taken away from Mnemosyne to another island
of Dionysius to meet the legendary Madame Minerva, also immortal,
and to be initiated in the Mysteries of the god Dionysius...
Brian M. Stableford has been a professional writer since
1965. He has published more than 70 science fiction and fantasy novels,
as well as several authoritative non-fiction books. He is also translating
the works of Paul Féval and other French writers of the fantastique
for Black Coat Press which also published his most two recent fantasy
novels: The New Faust at the Tragicomique and The Stones of Camelot.

The Thing from--Outside
by George Allan England (Author), Gene Christie (Editor),
Tom Roberts (Introduction)
Now available!
"George Allan England . . . to my mind, ranks
with Edgar Rice Burroughs and Albert Payson Terhune as one of the
three supreme literary artists of the house of Munsey."—H.P. Lovecraft
When science fiction was a new and yet undefined genre,
pre-dating the vast-reaching, intergalactic sagas of Heinlein, Asimov
and Clarke, one of the most successful authors of the era was George
Allan England. Garbed in his rapid-paced storytelling, England depicts
people affected by advancing technology and unexplainable events,
always delving further, towards a central theme, asking the question
of “What if?”
What if . . .
. . . viewing events from other periods of history became
possible?
. . . the implantation of a mechanical heart could grant
near immortality?
. . . Earth were visited by an alien intelligence looking
for science projects?
. . . a device were created to predict crime before
it happens and weed out from society those individuals with predilection
for such behaviors?
. . . the intelligence of man were surgically spliced
with the brutish physic of a great ape?
The answers to these and other questions may be discovered
in The Thing from—Outside.

Stories
by C.A. Tod Robbins (Author), Gene Christie (Introduction)
Now available!
Strip away the façade of sanity and discover
why C.A. “Tod” Robbins is considered a curator of malevolence. From
the author of “Spurs” and “The Terrible Three,” sources for the classic

of bizarre masterpieces to make you shudder.

of boredom take a mysterious twist.

unavoidable Fate in this mysterious offering.
The roots of evil clutch at the reader in these and

compared to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and
other masters of the weird and bizarre. In this volume, readers may
savor some of Robbins’ twisted tales that have remained unavailable
for decades, not collected previously in book form.

Blood 'N' Thunder / Murania
Press
The final quarterly issue of
Blood ‘n’ Thunder is one of the best in the magazine’s 14-year run.
Number 49/50 offers the usual wide variety of articles
and essays covering adventure, mystery and melodrama in American
popular culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Among the topics explored in this double-sized farewell
issue: Cornell Woolrich’s novelette “It Had to Be Murder” and Rear
Window, the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller adapted from it; the
1889 story paper that may have influenced The Shadow’s creation; the
1915 cliffhanger serial smash called The Diamond from the Sky; the
origins of Robert E. Howard’s demonic wizard Skelos; the short-lived
1935 radio series featuring pulpdom’s The Spider; and Depression-era
apprisals of the detective-pulp market from a 1933 issue of Writer’s Digest.
There’s also an entire section — over 60 pages — devoted
to the collecting and preservation of rare pulp magazines and the
premiums they offered; and a 1938 novelette of African intrigue featuring
L. Patrick Greene’s suave British rogue “The Major.” Finally, in commemoration
of the 90th anniversary of Amazing Stories, the very first magazine
exclusively devoted to science fiction, we have an extensive selection
of reviews of obscure SF yarns from the zine’s early years, illustrated
with rare covers from the 1926-1930 period.
This final Blood ‘n’ Thunder has 210 pages and, as usual,
is packed with illustrations to accompany its well-researched and
well-written articles.

Bold Venture Press presents The
Sign of Zorro, a full-length adventure from 1941, never reprinted
since its original publication.
In Reina de los Angeles they no longer whisper of Señor
Zorro — The Fox. For he rides no more; his sword no longer serves
the oppressed. And that languorous dandy, Don Diego Vega, fritters
the days away, caught in a real and terrible apathy. The sudden and
tragic death of his wife has left him without any urge to don his black
cloak and mask; and his father, Don Alejandro Vega, is seriously disturbed.
If only his son would return to full life; if only Zorro would ride again
....
Then, through Bardoso, the one-time pirate, Don Diego
receives word that the beautiful Senorita Panchita Canchola desperately
needs the aid of Señor Zorro. Her brother, now the man of
the household, is the dupe of a clever scoundrel, whose sinister
plans threaten the Governor of California. So Zorro lives again ....
And this time he must preserve the life of the man who has sworn to
capture him!
This edition includes ten Zorro short stories from West
magazine. In the introduction, John E. Petty examines Zorro collectibles
across the decades.

E. Hoffmann Price's Fables of Ismeddin
MEGAPACK® Kindle Edition -
Now available!
by E. Hoffmann Price (Author), Alexander Kreitner
(Introduction)
Edgar Hoffman Price (1898-1988) was a prolific
pulp writer who got his start writing for Weird Tales and became
a peripheral member of the Lovecraft Circle of weird fiction writers.
This collection contains every story he published featuring a Kurdish
holy man named Ismeddin. Price labels him as a "darvish," an alternate
spelling of the Sufi Muslim "dervish," a man who chooses to become a
beggar and an ascetic to become closer to God. The term "whirling dervish"
comes from the spiraling dances the holy men use to place themselves
in a trance state. Of course Price's darvish is half-crazed, a master
swordsman, and particularly good at stirring up trouble. However, the
stories he appears in are notable for their themes of religious truths,
justice and wisdom, and explorations of the nature of reality.

New on Famous (and forgotten)
Fiction!
December 2016
We return this month to the first series of Father
Brown stories from The Saturday Evening Post.
This time, "The Wrong Shape," just as it appeared in the December
10, 1910 issue, including the illustrations by George Gibbs and,
as an added bonus, a newly written introduction by Dan Neyer.
November 2016
Turning our attention to Baroness Orczy, this
month you will find “The Trappist’s Vow” reprinted just as it appeared in
the April, 1899 issue of The Royal Magazine, with illustrations
by the Baroness's husband, Montagu Barstow. Introduction by
Dan Neyer.
We've also done some revamping of the Bob's Stuff collections and have expanded many of the
annotations, giving you more information about the items and where
they fall in the history of popular culture.
We've also added a 4th collection and you will be seeing additional collections
on a regular basis after the new year.
October 2016
Since a good portion of the narrative occurs
on October 31st, why not curl up with "The Curse of Yig"by Zealia Brown Bishop and H. P. Lovecraft.
We've done an original layout of the story text for
this reprinting and have also included lots of background information
in the introduction by Bob Gay.
September 2016
Turning our attention back to the work of G.
K. Chesterton, we are pleased to present the fourth Father Brown
tale, "The Bolt from the Blue (The Hammer of God)," as it
appeared in the November 5, 1910 issue of The Saturday Evening Post including
the illustrations by George Gibbs. Introduction is by Dan Neyer.
August 2016
Just to prove that we have some small literary
interests at FAFF, we are pleased to present to you "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" by F. Scott Fitzgerald,
as it appeared in the May 27, 1922 issue of Collier's Magazine.
Our presentation includes the illustrations by James
Montgomery Flagg and an introduction by Bob Gay.
July 2016
Presenting the third (and oddly titled) Father
Brown story, Why True Fishermen Always Wear Green Evening Coats,
from the pages of the October 1, 1910 issue of The Saturday Evening Post,
including the illustrations by George Gibb. Introduction to the story
is by Dan Neyer.
June 2016
Following up on last month's release, we are
pleased to present the second Father Brown story, The Secret of the Sealed Garden, as it appeared in the
September 3, 1910 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. The
original illustrations by George Gibbs are included along with a
short introduction by Dan Neyer. If you are new to Father Brown,
you might want to read our introduction to the character found on the
page, The Innocence of Father Brown, written by Dan Neyer.
May 2016
We have revamped Valentine Follows a Curious Trail (The Blue Cross) by G.
K. Chesterton and fixed some errors from our previous reprinting
and cleaned up the illustrations by George Gibbs.
This story now serves as the beginning of our reprinting
of the original Father Brown stories as they appeared in the Post,
complete with the original illustrations.
Introductions to all are by Dan Neyer. Best place
to start is on our introductory page, The Innocence of Father Brown.
April 2016
A dictator meets his comeuppance in Kirby Draycott's The Clock Face of Schaumburg which,
as explained in in the introduction, bears some resemblance to
a story by a certain Mr. Poe. All the original illustrations are
included, just as they appeared in the November, 1898 issue of The
Royal Magazine. Introduction is by Bob Gay.
March 2016
A tale of romance and espionage by Baroness Orczy,
Number 187, as it appeared in the January, 1899 issue
of Pearson's Magazine, including the illustrations by Ernest Prater.
Introduction by Dan Neyer.
February 2016
All is revealed to the members of The Grill Club
in the third (and final) part of In the Fog by Richard Harding Davis, The Solicitor's
Story, just as it appeared in the May, 1902 issue of The Windsor
Magazine, including the illustrations by Maurice Greiffenhagen.
January 2016
The second part of "In The Fog" by Richard Harding Davis:
"The Story of the Queen’s Messenger," just as it appeared in the
April, 1902 issue of The Windsor Magazine, including the illustrations
by Maurice Greiffenhagen.

In addition to containing “They,”
a brand-new Leigh Brackett story, the contents of the LEIGH BRACKETT
CENTENNIAL book continues to grow.
So, it seems a natural to offer a combo of it, THE BOOK
OF STARK, and our most recent Brackett title, SHANNACH—THE LAST:
FAREWELL TO MARS.
Ordering the combo will put you first in line as well
as lock-in your total price for:
LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL
is still being offered at $25, but with the addition of new content,
the final price will certainly be higher. Wait until you see what
we uncovered! (Keep Watching the Skies, indeed!)
THE BOOK OF STARK
is still holding at $45 and we hope to have news of who will be providing
the introduction very soon (fingers-crossed!). As you may gather, this
massive tome collects the four “Eric John Stark” stories, the three novels
of the “Skaith” series, and will be the first appearance of Brackett’s
outline for a new Stark novel that she abandoned in 1977 to take on the
screenwriting duties for the sequel to STAR WARS. The dustjacket and endpapers
are provided by Raymond Swanland.
SHANNACH—THE LAST: FAREWELL TO
MARS is the third and final volume collecting all Brackett’s
science fiction stories published in her lifetime. At nearly 600 pages, it’s
a excellent addition to your library; many stories being reprinted for the
first time and nearly as many appearing in their first hardcover appearance.
The cover art is by Frank Kelly Freas and illustrated endpapers are by Ed
Emshwiller. Grandmaster Anne McCaffrey provides the introduction.

LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL
Now available for pre-order!
Production Update from Haffner
Press!
Proofreading
is also complete on this title as well. We are still waiting for
clearances and permissions on a several texts and images that we
feel MUST be a part of this book.
And remember, there's a NEW AND UNPUBLISHED Brackett-tale
in here!
Leigh Brackett (1915-1978), noted
author of mystery & science fiction novels—with screenplays
for THE BIG SLEEP, RIO BRAVO and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK—sees her
Centennial celebrated with a previously unpublished story in the
forthcoming Haffner Press collection: LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL.
Discovered by editor Stephen Haffner, Brackett’s unpublished
story “They” is a mature science fiction tale of power and intrigue,
of homegrown xenophobia versus stellar exploration, with an answer
to the ultimate question: “Are we alone?”
“They” leads off this tribute volume collecting the
majority of Brackett’s nonfiction writings, supplemented with vintage
interviews and commentaries/remembrances from such luminaries as
Ray Bradbury, Michael Moorcock, Richard A. Lupoff and more.
“Her dialogue crackled, the characters lived and breathed.
For any burgeoning fan of film, you couldn’t ask for a better inspiration
than Leigh Brackett.” —George Lucas
“She had a marvelous ability for moving a narrative
along…I remember one story of mine which had me frozen…she took
over and wrote the first thousand words—and it was published that
way.” —Ray Bradbury
LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL covers numerous facets and
events of Brackett’s life, in her own words, and in the words of those
who knew her:
- Brackett writes of bringing Philip Marlowe into
the 1970s for Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye . . .
- SF-author and NASA employee Joseph Green records
the time he hosted Brackett at the launch of Apollo XII . . .
- Bookseller Ray Walsh documents the day he escorted
Brackett to view a new groundbreaking space-fantasy film in the summer
1977 . . .
Available for preorder, LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL continues
the effort begun in 2002 by Haffner Press to collect, preserve,
and present the works of Leigh Brackett for current and future generations.

FREDRIC BROWN MYSTERY LIBRARY
VOLUME 1: MURDER DRAWS A CROWD
(Writer) Fredric
Brown, Jack Seabrook (Cover) Norman Saunders
Still available for pre-order!
December 28, 2016 Production
Update from Haffner Press!
As noted before,
Volume One, MURDER DRAWS A CROWD was initially printed in December
2015, but the quality was so poor that we rejected the finished inventory
and the printer refused to mount a second effort that would meet our
(and your) expectations. Since then, we've been looking for a new printer
whom we feel can get the job done.
Based on the beautiful
job done by a different (and much more reliable) printer on our recent
Henry Kuttner book, THE WATCHER AT THE DOOR: THE EARLY KUTTNER, VOLUME
TWO, the plan is to send both MURDER DRAWS A CROWD and DEATH IN THE
DARK to this superior vendor in 1st Quarter 2017.
We’ll share more news and we have it, and thanks for
hanging with us on these titles; we hope you feel the delay was worth
the wait.
Meanwhile, you can read one of Fredric Brown’s first-published
stories, “Blood of the Dragon” (from Variety Detective Magazine Feb.
39) HERE:
A massive fix of liquor-fueled
murder, smoke-clouded mystery, and hard-hitting revenge from the
author of The Screaming Mimi and The Fabulous Clipjoint. This archival-quality
hardcover assembles 38 incredibly rare stories from 1938-1942, with
the original Pulp artwork from such magazines as Thrilling Detective,
Masked Detective, Detective Fiction Weekly, and more. This is the book
Fredric Brown fans have been waiting for!
Introduction by Jack Seabrook
ISBN: 9781893887787
744 pages
Over 100 illustrations
39 pulp magazine stories: • Detective •
Mystery • Horror • Western

FREDRIC BROWN MYSTERY LIBRARY
VOLUME 2: DEATH IN THE DARK
(Writer) Fredric
Brown, Jack Seabrook (Cover) Norman Saunders
Available for pre-order!
December 28, 2016 Production
Update from Haffner Press!
Based on the beautiful job
done by a different (and much more reliable) printer on our recent
Henry Kuttner book, THE WATCHER AT THE DOOR: THE EARLY KUTTNER, VOLUME
TWO, the plan is to send both MURDER DRAWS A CROWD and DEATH IN THE
DARK to this superior vendor in 1st Quarter 2017.
We’ll share more news and we have it, and thanks for
hanging with us on these titles; we hope you feel the delay was worth
the wait.
Meanwhile, you can read one of Fredric Brown’s first-published
stories, “Blood of the Dragon” (from Variety Detective Magazine Feb.
39) HERE:
“. . . enough good people
put Brown on their must-read lists and then become evangelists
to keep his name alive on the same high shelf as Hammett, Thompson,
Ross Macdonald and other crime icons. Somewhere up in literary heaven,
I hope he’s looking down, sipping a beer, playing his flute and smiling.”—Dick
Adler, Chicago Tribune
While the editor of this series only recently came upon
the above quote from 2008, these eyes read no truer words. Work
has been underway for nearly a year on assembling the first two
volumes of a series provisionally titled LOADED: THE COLLECTED FREDRIC
BROWN. Now is your chance to get in on the ground floor of what is
hoped to be the definitive collection of Fredric Brown sans his science
fiction works. Assembled in chronological order of publication, this
set will contain all the short fiction (of all genres: mystery, horror,
noir, western, detection, etc.) and all of Brown’s novels (again, excepting
his sf works). You’ll be able to enjoy Fredric Brown at his longer lengths
from The Fabulous Clipjoint and Night of the Jabberwock to The Lenient
Beast and Mrs. Murphy’s Underpants.
Assisting with this effort have been Brown bibliographer
Phil Stephensen-Payne and Brown biographer Jack Seabrook. This massive
undertaking could not have been accomplished without their help.

Before his marriage to (and subsequent collaborations
with) Catherine L. Moore, Henry Kuttner was a frequent contributor
to the pulp magazines that specialized in the weird, supernatural,
horror, and science fiction genre. Beginning in 1936, with the minor
classic “The Graveyard Rats,” Kuttner launched a steady stream of short
stories aimed at Weird Tales, Strange Stories, Thrilling Mystery, and others.
Writing for Weird Tales brought Kuttner into direct
correspondence with that magazine’s premier contributor. H. P. Lovecraft.
Kuttner set several stories in Lovecraft’s “Cthulhu Mythos” and two
are presented in THE WATCHER AT THE DOOR: “Hydra” and “The Hunt.”
At this point in his still-young career, Kuttner had
cracked the science fiction market and was steadily publishing in
Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Science Fiction, and
made his first sale to the new prestigious fantasy magazine, UNKNOWN.
In the course of writing the stories collected in this
volume, Kuttner married Catherine Lucille Moore on June 7, 1940 (in
New York with artist Virgil Finlay as Best Man).
THE WATCHER AT THE DOOR is the second volume in a three-volume
“Early Kuttner” set collecting many of Kuttner’s earliest stories,
most of which have never been reprinted.

The Complete Ivy Frost
by Donald Wandrei
Cover Art by Raymond Swanland
Now available for pre-order!
Production
Update from Haffner Press!
The assembly of Donald Wandrei's
colossal 744-page collection of all 18 stories of sleuth IVY FROST
and his partner Jean Moray (from the pages of CLUES DETECTIVE STORIES)
passed another hurdle with the recent delivery of the interior art
by Chris Kalb!
Chris has re-purposed the original black and white pulp
illos for each story as double-page spreads opening each tale. They
are simply fantastic!
The introduction by Wandrei expert D.H. Olson is in
hand and all that remains is the last proofreaders pass on three
remaining stories with a final touch-up on the magazine covers reproduced
on the full-color endpapers.
It may come as a surprise to some that Donald
Wandrei wrote more mysteries than all his horror, fantasy, and science
fiction tales combined. This volume collects all eighteen adventures
of Wandrei’s ratiocinative detective I.V. Frost, who is ably assisted
by his beautiful and tough female assistant, Jean Moray. A scientist
and inventor, Frost has his own approach to solving mysteries. Rather
than following the usual hard-drinking, trench-coated style of many
of his contemporaries, Frost’s strategy was to mix the logic of Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes with the technology of Lester Dent’s
Doc Savage. In 2000, D.H. Olson edited a volume published by Fedogan
and Bremer collecting the first eight of Frost’s adventures. A second volume
of the remaining 10 tales was promised but never materialized.

With the rigamarole in getting
the Fredric Brown titles back on track, this omnibus of four 1950s
mystery novels, THE MICHAEL GRAY MYSTERIES by Henry Kuttner and
Catherine L. Moore, has been pushed down the publication list.
We can report that aside from acquiring new cover
art (the image at left is a placeholder; yeah, we know it says "Henry
Kutter"...), we are in possession of the proofread manuscript, the
Ed Gorman introduction, and the finished interior design.
We are soon to send out an offer to a new cover artist
and hope to hear back some good news.
Edited by Stephen Haffner Introduction by Ed
Gorman Cover Art by Lawrence Noble

The Six Sleepers, The Collected
Edmond Hamilton, Volume Five
Now available for pre-order!
Production
Update from Haffner Press!
Bob Madle's fantastic intro
is done and the manuscript has been proofread. Additional work is
needed cleaning up the graphics for the appendix.
Following on from THE REIGN OF THE ROBOTS, THE
COLLECTED EDMOND HAMILTON, VOLUME FOUR, THE SIX SLEEPERS, THE COLLECTED
EDMOND HAMILTON, VOLUME FIVE brings you more of the World Wreckers
vintage works.
Here, Hamilton really put his Remington’s to the task
with more stories for WEIRD TALES as well as some of his best work
(which is to say some of the best work ever to appear in) for WONDER
STORIES. Depending on the length of ephemera in the appendix, this
volume may also see Hamilton crack the Tremaine-era of ASTOUNDING
STORIES.
As with previous volumes in this series, an appendix
showcasing the original pulp magazine illustrations also bulks large
with obscura including reader’s letters from the vintage magazines
commenting on these stories, along with editorial correspondence between
Hamilton and his editors.

Haffner Press
Hollywood on the Moon / Man About Time: The Pete Manx Adventures
Arthur K. Barnes & Henry Kuttner
Now available for pre-order!
Production
Update from Haffner Press!
We had an introduction lined
up for this from a noted SF comic, but it appears to have evaporated.
The book also needs different cover art.
This Bergey image from Startling Stories, while awesome,
doesn't match the time-frame of these stories. We'll have more news
later this year.
Prior to his marriage
to fellow science-fantasy writer Catherine L. Moore in 1940, Henry Kuttner
wrote stories of Lovecraftian horror, weird-menace “shudder” tales, and thrilling
adventure stories. But he also wrote blood-n-thunder Space Opera
stories in the vein of Edmond Hamilton (one of young Kuttner’s favorite
authors) told with a rough-edge style similar to Kuttner’s protege
Leigh Brackett.
Arthur K. Barnes, an early friend of Kuttner, published
his first story “Lord of the Lightning” for Wonder Stories in December
1931. His “Interplanetary Hunter” series featuring Miss Gerry Carlyle
of the London Interplanetary Zoo was originally published in Thrilling
Wonder Stories.
Together, Kuttner & Barnes collaborated (and in
some cases, wrote independently) on two series of science fiction
adventures for Thrilling Wonder Stories. The first, the “Hollywood
on the Moon” series, featured ace cameraman Tony Quade of Nine Planets
Films, Inc. and his crew skipping around the solar system (even teaming
up with Gerry Carlyle a few times!) humorously encountering all manner
of weird alien life.
The second series, dealt with the hilarious temporal
romps of carnival barker, conman, and small-time crook Pete Manx.
Pete is always on the run from some debt collector, or running to his
lastest scam for an easy buck. Inevitably, Manx always ends up in the
laboratory of Dr. Mayhem, whose unreliable time machine launches Pete
into the past where he finds himself in hotter water than before.
This volume collects all the SF collaborations of these
two punsters and features the interior illustrations of the original
magazines.

Hard Case Crime
Coming soon!
February 2017
SNATCH by Gregory Mcdonald
Cover art by Patrick Faricy
OF INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE AND 8-YEAR-OLD BOYS
Whether it’s a Middle East oil crisis in the 1970s or
the London Blitz during WWII, world events have a way of breeding
trouble on the home front, too. That’s how Toby Rinaldi, son of a
U.N. Ambassador, wound up kidnapped on his way to a California amusement
park, and how Robby Burnes, orphaned son of British nobility, wound
up snatched on the snowy streets of New York City. But as Robby’s famous
namesake taught us, the best laid plans don’t always work out as intended.
Especially not when you’e a kidnapper in the hands of Gregory Mcdonald.
FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF FLETCH—A MASTER CLASS
ON THE ART OF THE SNATCH!
The comic genius behind the Fletch and Flynn books,
Gregory Mcdonald also penned the two brilliant kidnapping novels
appearing here for the first time in three decades—and the first time
ever in a single volume. Two precocious eight-year-old boys…two teams
of kidnappers, in way over their heads…two opportunities for mayhem,
danger, and the trenchant social satire no crime writer has ever delivered
like Mcdonald.
First publication in three decades, and first ever in
a single edition!
Gregory Mcdonald is the only author ever to win the
Edgar Award twice in a row for two novels in a single series

FOREVER
AND A DEATH By Donald Westlake
An unused plot for Pierce Brosnan’s 007 has resurfaced
- as a novel!
Cover art by Paul Mann
Back in the 1990s, Eon Productions worked with
a number of writers to develop the story for the follow-up to Goldeneye.
One of those writers was Donald Westlake, legendary author of over
100 crime novels, the perhaps most famous of which were the Parker
books (under his pseudonym of Richard Stark).
In 1995, before Goldeneye was even released, Westlake
turned into Eon two treatments for “Bond 18.” Both his treatments
apparently used as their backdrop Hong Kong’s transfer of sovereignty
to China. In one of the treatments, Westlake had 007 facing off against
Gideon Goodbread, an American businessman who planned to level Hong
Kong after robbing its banks – a revenge scheme for the death of his
missionary parents at the hands of the Red Chinese. Westlake described
his Bond villain as “John Goodman with a Southern accent”, and likened
him to the lead character in Jim Thompson’s The Killer Inside Me.
Goodbread commanded an army of Amerasian orphans he called “the Children.”
Westlake floated the following titles for his Bond adventure:
Dragonsteeth; Nobody Dies; Forever And A Death; Never Look Back;
On Borrowed Time. That last title was prophetic; the time-sensitive
nature of the Hong Kong chanegover backdrop was deemed unsuitable,
we got Tomorrow Never Dies instead, and Westlake's script was shelved.
Now Hard Case Crime has resurrected this lost story,
which at some point Westlake rewrote as a novel - Forever And A Death.
It’s no longer a James Bond story and the details described
above may not be included, but the vestigial elements of the story
seem to be in place.
As a bonus, the novel will contain an afterword by one
of the Bond producers, describing the history of the project.

DAWNWARD SPIRE, LONELY HILL: THE
LETTERS OF H. P. LOVECRAFT AND CLARK ASHTON SMITH
Coming in May!
The friendship of Clark Ashton Smith
and Howard Phillips Lovecraft began in letters in 1922 and progressed
over the years as each became famous to the readers of Weird Tales
and other pulps of the 1920s and '30s. It began with Lovecraft, having
been shown a few of Smith's poems by another friend, writing to Smith,
and it continued up to Lovecraft's death -- the manuscript of his poem,
“To Clark Ashton Smith, Esq., upon His Fantastic Tales, Verses, Pictures,
and Sculptures”, was found on HPL's desk, apparently the last non-letter
item HPL ever wrote.
Lovecraft was attracted to Smith's poetic style, transmundane
focus, and sardonic wit; Smith liked Lovecraft's sweeping vistas
of time and space and his personal philosophy of what's been called
“cosmic indifferentism”: the belief that humanity is no more significant
in the universe than a grain of sand, a blade of grass, or a solar flare.
HPL encouraged CAS to try his hand at fiction, and the two were soon
passing drafts of stories back and forth for comment.
For the first time, both sides of the surviving correspondence
between these two supremely significant figures in 20th century weird
literature are presented, forming a literary “conversation” that
ranges from topics of contemporary art and literature to the doings
of the amateur press associations to which they both belonged; frank
evaluations of each other’s literary (and in the case of Smith, graphic
and sculptural) achievements, and surprising personal revelations unrivalled
in other phases of their written output.
As in all previous volumes in the Collected Letters
series, these letters have been meticulously edited by David E.
Schultz and S. T. Joshi, two of the leading authorities on Lovecraft
and Smith. Rounding out the volume are appendices of writings by the
two correspondents, shedding light on their relationship; an exhaustive
bibliography; and a comprehensive index.

THE HORROR ON THE LINKS: THE COMPLETE
TALES OF JULES DE GRANDIN, VOLUME ONE - Coming April 4!
by Seabury Quinn
Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E.
Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors
to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth
century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and
fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the
golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name
and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn.
Quinn’s short stories were featured in well more than
half of Weird Tales’s original publication run. His most famous
character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin,
investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial
killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small
town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar
shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s
Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge,
de Grandin’s knack for solving mysteries—and his outbursts of peculiar
French-isms (grand Dieu!)—captivated readers for nearly three decades.
Collected for the first time in trade editions, The
Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, edited by George Vanderburgh,
presents all ninety-three published works featuring the supernatural
detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, and
including all thirty-two original Weird Tales covers illustrated for
de Grandin stories, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp
hero.
The first volume, The Horror on the Links, includes
all of the Jules de Grandin stories from “The Horror on the Links”
(1925) to “The Chapel of Mystic Horror” (1928), as well as an introduction
by Robert Weinberg.

THE LAST HIEROGLYPH: THE COLLECTED
FANTASIES OF CLARK ASHTON SMITH VOLUME 5 -
Coming January 10!
by Clark Ashton Smith
Clark Ashton Smith, considered one of the greatest
contributors to seminal pulp magazines such as Weird Tales, helped
define and shape “weird fiction” in the early twentieth century, alongside
contemporaries H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, drawing upon his
background in poetry to convey an unparalleled richness of imagination
and expression in his stories of the bizarre and fantastical.
The Collected Fantasies series presents all of Smith’s
fiction chronologically. Authorized by the author’s estate and endorsed
by Arkham House, the stories in this series are accompanied by detailed
background notes from editors Scott Connors and Ron Hilger, who in
preparation for this collection meticulously compared original manuscripts,
various typescripts, published editions, and Smith’s own notes and letters.
Their efforts have resulted in the most definitive and complete collection
of the author’s work to date.
The Last Hieroglyph is the fifth of five volumes collecting
all of Clark Ashton Smith’s tales of fantasy, horror, and science
fiction. It includes all of his stories from "The Dark Age" (1933)
to "The Dart of Rasasfa" (1961).

THE MIDAS LEGACY: A Novel (Nina
Wilde and Eddie Chase) - Coming
March 28!
by Andy McDermott
American archaeologist Nina Wilde and her husband,
ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase, search for King Midas’s legacy in
the latest thrilling adventure in Andy McDermott’s globe-spanning
series.
For Nina Wilde and her ex-SAS husband Eddie Chase, locating
the legendary lost city of Atlantis was just the beginning of an
even greater quest: to discover what mysterious treasure drew an
ancient Atlantan explorer to the Himalayas. But they’re unaware of
the risks they face, the secrets gathering around them, and the powerful
forces desperate to possess history’s greatest prize.
High in the snowbound peaks, Nina and Eddie uncover
a cave guarded by Buddhist monks. There, a shadowy enemy awaits
them. And after a vicious battle, Nina finds herself with a fragment
of a millennia-old puzzle—and questions only one person can answer:
her long-lost grandmother. Drawing on her family’s painful secrets,
Nina gains knowledge that will lead her and Eddie from a remote Icelandic
retreat to the Hermit Kingdom of North Korea—and expose the shocking
truth about the mythical King Midas and a terrifying plot that could doom
all humankind.

Publishing legends The Black Mask (1920), Weird
Tales (1923), and Amazing Stories (1926) are considered so “extremely
rare and valuable” that the U.S. Library of Congress houses its collection
of 277 issues in Washington, D.C.’s Rare Book and Special Collections
Division—along with the personal libraries of Presidents, medieval
and Renaissance manuscripts, and one of only three known perfect
copies of the Gutenberg Bible in existence. With its latest addition
of 4 issues of The Black Mask (Aug. & Sept. 1920; Dec. 1921; and
Apr. 1922), the Pulp Magazines Project has made all 3 classic titles
available together—for the first time—in high-quality, cover-to-cover
digital editions.
Also available at the Pulp Magazines Project, new issues
of the iconic “weird menace” pulp, Dime Mystery Magazine (Apr. 1938
and Sept. 1946); Adventure (Jul. 1, 1928; feat. Walt Coburn’s “The
Man Who Hated Himself”); Western Story (Jul. 27, 1940); Detective Story
(May 1938; feat. Zorro-creator Johnston McCulley’s “Thubway Tham’s Thothial
Thecurity”); and histories of both The Black Mask (E.R. Hagemann; UCLA)
and Dime Mystery Magazine (Emily Sisler; University of West Florida).
The Pulp Magazines Project
is an open-access digital archive dedicated to the study and preservation
of one of the twentieth century's most influential literary &
artistic forms: the all-fiction pulpwood magazine. The Project also
provides information on the history of this important but long neglected
medium, along with biographies of pulp authors, artists, and their
publishers.
At the heart of the Project's mission is the
archive itself. In summer 2011, it began with a modest library of
five representative first-generation pulp titles from the early
twentieth century. Over time, the archive will expand, new magazines
will be digitized, and contextual materials added. Eventually, the
archive will feature a broad range of pre-1923 titles, post-1923 titles
where copyright has lapsed, and full volume runs of select titles from
1896 to 1946.
The Project is dedicated to fostering ties between communities
of collectors, fans, and academics devoted to pulp magazines, and
will offer opportunities for research and collaboration to both scholars
and enthusiasts alike. We will provide information on upcoming conferences
and conventions, and promote new working relationships between academics
and the hundreds of pulp fans and collectors beyond the college and
university.
