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
“The Ghost from G-2,” – Flying Aces, May 1934
“Strafe of the Flying Corpse,” – Flying Aces, January 1936

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

“Radiant Sphinx! Mirror of light!
Symbol of our eternal rebirth, O Sphinx, bearer of our destiny, be resplendent
now and open your victorious wings wide to the sunlight!”
The End of Atlantis (1926) extends a rich tradition of French literary fantasies
redeploying the myth of Atlantis; it is a historical melodrama, an adventure
story and a heroic fantasy depicting the fall of the great and marvelous
Empire of Atlantis.
The novel is more sophisticated than most Atlantean fantasies. Its account
of the fall of Atlantis echoes that of the Roman Empire, and contains an
elaborate criticism of contemporary European society, whose own crisis of
degeneration is supposedly reflected therein. Because of this, the book has
not lost its relevance to the world of the 21st century.

La Fin d'Atlantis, ou le grand soir (1926)

“God announces, through the mouth
of the inspired woman, that he has a message to transmit to the peoples of
the earth.
He will communicate it to them before a universal assembly in
which the leading intellectuals and the natural leaders of the various nations
must take part.”
The Human Paradise (1930) is a scathingly sarcastic satire in which God
offers to grant wishes expressed unanimously by the entirety of humankind.
The wishes voiced are carefully extrapolated in such a way as to suggest
that, however effective individuals might be at screwing up their wishes,
a committee composed of the whole human race could do a far more comprehensive
job.
An Isle of Amour (1921) is interesting addition to a sequence of French
utopian novels that attempted to get to grips with the thorny question of
how best to organize sexual relations in a utopia, and what the social consequences
would be of instituting a system of “free love.”

TWO CRIMES
by Fortuné du Boisgobey
Adapted by Nina Cooper
Cover by Daniele
Serra
“During the trip! And you didn’t
notice it?” exclaimed the employee.
“No, and the lady sitting next to her didn’t see anything either.
That’s strange, but that’s how it was.”
“Apoplexy, then…or it could be something gave way in her chest.“
“As for me, I think someone killed her,” said the tall brunet.“
Fortuné Du Boisgobey (1821-1891) was the chief of the followers of
Émile Gaboriau, creator of Monsieur Lecoq. He was a prolific writer,
with more than sixty works to his name, and one of the most popular French
feuilleton writers. His novels dealt with crime, the police, and Parisian
life. They had a high circulation, and many of them were translated into
English.
Two of his best classic mysteries are represented here in new translations
by Nina Cooper:
The Omnibus Murder (1881): A young Parisian artist, returning to his studio
by the midnight omnibus, witnesses the death of a young girl. He at first
thinks she’s been murdered, but dismisses the idea. Fortunately, his friend
solicits the aid of the mysterious Piédouche to bring the killer to
justice.
The Ferry Murder (1882): The Vignemal family perishes when their small ferry
boat capsizes in a freak storm. Who inherits depends on who died first, the
husband, or the wife. Will officials believe the young man who attempted
a rescue? Or is he a killer in league with one of the many potential inheritors
of the Vignemals’ large estate?

Now available!
Lovers of exotic adventure will welcome this new collection. Filled
with excitement and clever drama, these stories cover murder, intrigue, stolen
pearls, gun smuggling, mutiny and a fight for treasure!

forefathers.
These stories vividly display his intimate knowledge of the habits of sailors.
But this collection is more than just a chronicle of man’s struggle against
the relentless sea. Grim humor, pathos and tragedy are skillfully blended
to make Paths of Fire entertaining from cover to cover. With a biographical
introduction by Tom Roberts.

The Johnston McCulley Collection #1
NOW AVAILABLE
FROM MURANIA PRESS: A LONG-LOST MASTERWORK BY THE CREATOR OF ZORRO!
Pulp fiction's first super-villain is back after nearly 100 years in obscurity—and
his criminous exploits are just as thrilling now as they were a century ago!
An early 20th-century metropolis trembles in fear at the mention of his
name. His meticulously-planned depredations leave victims quaking in their
shoes and baffle the police, who seem helpless to stem the rising tide of
panic that threatens to engulf the city. Amateur criminologist and millionaire
clubman Roger Verbeck, aided by his loyal valet Muggs, sets out to apprehend
Black Star and finally does. But the master criminal makes good his escape
and, once again in command of his army of robed and hooded henchmen, plots
a campaign of revenge that will find the mayor, police commissioner, and
prominent citizens under his control and at his mercy—with even the brilliant
Roger Verbeck powerless to stop it!
This is the first volume in Murania's Johnston McCulley Collection, which
brings back into print the author's long-forgotten characters created for
Street & Smith's DETECTIVE STORY MAGAZINE.
Get your copy today at muraniapress.com.
Johnston McCulley (1883-1958) is best known as the creator of Zorro, but
this astoundingly prolific ex-journalist also chronicled the exploits of
more than 20 recurring characters who populated the pages of such legendary
pulps as ARGOSY, ALL-STORY WEEKLY, DETECTIVE STORY MAGAZINE, BEST DETECTIVE,

An ancient château in Haiti
is the scene of one of the most blood-curdling series of murders in the history
of the island. Who was the murderer—man, beast or some supernatural being?
An artist and his girlfriend attend her uncle's funeral on the island of
Haiti, where they encounter the deep vein of Voodoo superstition. The legend
of living souls trapped in dead bodies becomes a frightening reality as they
witness a Zombie resurrection. The tale, by the well-traveled pulp fiction
author Theodore Roscoe, captured his sense of awe and terror surrounding
such a monster in the very place that would have given rise to it. His first-hand
experience during his travels in Haiti taught him of such legends and he
used them effectively in Murder on the Way!
Thus, well before the Zombie came to represent today's flesh-eating cinematic
monster of lore, Roscoe's story (published by the New York Dodge Publishing
Company in 1935) unravels impossible shootings, inexplicable disappearances,
and the stirrings of rebellion. These are the background elements for this
most unforgettable weekend house-party in the heart of Zombie madness.
Theodore Roscoe (1906–1992) wrote for a variety of pulp fiction magazines
while travelling the world. Following World War II he was commissioned by
the United States Naval Institute to write detailed histories about submarine
and destroyer operations. Roscoe became a Scribner’s author under Burroughs
Mitchell with novels To Live and Die in Dixie! and Only in New England. The
prolific writer was among the first to see declassified documents connected
to the Lincoln assassination, resulting in his work The Web of Conspiracy,

In the hellish days of World War I, after President Woodrow Wilson
is slain, a strange assortment of adventurers band together to fight the
dreaded Mysteriarchs of the Abyss -- an ancient and vilified order of wizards,
or demigods, or fallen angels. With their insatiable appetite for destruction,
the Mysteriarchs would sow the seeds of nothingness and reap a harvest of
eternal horror -- transforming the War to End All Wars into the War to End
All But War!

Clive Cussler: NIGHTHAWK (A Kurt Austin adventure) - Coming May 30!
by Clive Cussler and Graham Brown
When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South
Pacific, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to locate
the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the
United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don’t—that
the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter, extracted
from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near
absolute zero. As long as it remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it
thaws, it will unleash a catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions.
From the Galapagos Islands to the jungles of South America to an icy mountain
lake many believe to be the birthplace of the Inca, the entire NUMA team
will risk everything in an effort to avert disaster . . . but they may be
caught in a race that no one can win.

DRAGON TEETH: A NOVEL - Coming
May 23!
By Michael Crichton:
The year is 1876. Warring Indian tribes still populate America’s
western territories even as lawless gold-rush towns begin to mark the landscape.
In much of the country it is still illegal to espouse evolution. Against
this backdrop two monomaniacal paleontologists pillage the Wild West, hunting
for dinosaur fossils, while surveilling, deceiving and sabotaging each other
in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars.
Into this treacherous territory plunges the arrogant and entitled William
Johnson, a Yale student with more privilege than sense. Determined to survive
a summer in the west to win a bet against his arch-rival, William has joined
world-renowned paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh on his latest expedition.
But when the paranoid and secretive Marsh becomes convinced that William
is spying for his nemesis, Edwin Drinker Cope, he abandons him in Cheyenne,
Wyoming, a locus of crime and vice. William is forced to join forces with
Cope and soon stumbles upon a discovery of historic proportions. With
this extraordinary treasure, however, comes exceptional danger, and William’s
newfound resilience will be tested in his struggle to protect his cache,
which pits him against some of the West’s most notorious characters.
A page-turner that draws on both meticulously researched history and an
exuberant imagination, Dragon Teeth is based on the rivalry between real-life
paleontologists Cope and Marsh; in William Johnson readers will find an inspiring
hero only Michael Crichton could have imagined. Perfectly paced and brilliantly
plotted, this enormously winning adventure is destined to become another
Crichton classic.

New on Famous (and forgotten) Fiction!
April 2017
This month we present the final tale of Captain Sharkey, "The Voyage of Copley Banks," just as it appeared in
the May, 1897 issue of Pearson's Magazine (UK), including the illustrations
by Warwick Goble. Dan Neyer adds a short introduction.
And, just for the completists out there: We do realize that there is a 4th
Sharkey tale, but we consider it apocryphal and its true origins are unknown.
March 2017
Captain Sharkey returns in the second of Arthur Conan Doyle's Tales
of the High Seas in a tale entitled, "The Two Barques," just as it appeared in the March,
1897 issue of Pearson's Magazine, including the illustrations by Warwick
Goble.
Dan Neyer's introduction is also included as a more modern addition.
February 2017
Pirates...Tall sailing ships...the High Seas...and the villainous
buccaneer, Captain Sharkey...all these, and more, are part of the Arthur
Conan Doyle series, Tales of the High Seas.
Starting this month, we begin the series with "The Governor of St. Kitts," just as it appeared in
the January, 1897 issue of the British version of Pearson's Magazine, including
the illustrations by Warwick Goble.
Dan Neyer provides the introduction to the story and the series.
January 2017
Concluding our reprinting of the first series of Father Brown stories,
we present “The Sign of the Broken Sword” including all the George
Gibbs illustrations and an introduction by Dan Neyer.
Next month, prepare to hoist the jib and steer for clear water!

FULL WOLF MOON - Coming May 16!
by Lincoln Child
The New York Times bestselling author of The Forgotten Room and
Deep Storm is back with a new thriller that follows the trail of a killer
who cannot exist...featuring Jeremy Logan, the renowned investigator of the
supernatural and fantastic.
Legends, no matter how outlandish, are often grounded in reality. This has
been the guiding principle behind the exhilarating career of Jeremy Logan,
the "enigmologist"--an investigator who specializes in analyzing phenomena
that have no obvious explanation--previously seen in The Forgotten Room,
The Third Gate, and Deep Storm. Logan has often found himself in situations
where keeping an open mind could mean the difference between life and death,
and that has never been more true than now.
Logan travels to an isolated writers' retreat deep in the Adirondacks to
finally work on his book when the remote community is rocked by the grisly
discovery of a dead hiker on Desolation Mountain. The body has been severely
mauled, but the unusual savagery of the bite and claw marks call into question
the initial suspicions of a wild bear attack. When Logan is asked to help
investigate, he discovers no shortage of suspects capable of such an attack--and
no shortage of locals willing to point the finger and spread incredible rumors.
One rumor, too impossible to believe, has even the forest ranger believing
in werewolves. As Logan gets to know the remote deep-woods landscape, including
a respected woman scientist still struggling with the violent loss of her
father in these very woods, Logan realizes he's up against something he has
never seen before.
His most action-packed and white-knuckled novel to date, Full Wolf Moon
is the perfect combination of exotic locales, provocative science, and raw
action that make for a deeply entertaining Lincoln Child blockbuster.

“. . . 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.

Hard Case Crime
Coming soon!
June 2017
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.
Edited by David E. Schultz and S. T. Joshi

Pulp Magazines Project - Now online!
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.

THE PULP WESTERN ANTHOLOGY: VOLUME 1 - Now available!
by J. Walker Blue (Editor)
Blazing Western Action!
Here—for the first time since they were initially published in the 1920s,
'30s and '40s—are tales of thundering western action and humor by the likes
of Johnston McCulley (the creator of Zorro), Frank Richardson Pierce, Philip
F. Deere, Lee Bond, T.W. Ford and others—all at the top of their creative
games, all writing at breakneck speed to satisfy what was an unquenchable
market for western heroes and outlaws.
The Silver Kid, The Devil's Deputy, Biffalo Bull and a host of equally colorful
characters ride the ranges once again in this first volume of The Pulp Western
Anthology, set in a clean, new typeface and presented with the artwork that
originally accompanied their stories.
Beware Other Compilations
The Internet is jam packed with public domain books and stories that are
easily accessible to anyone who knows how to use a search engine. Lazy publishers
throw them into electronic and printed collections and then have the nerve
to charge the public money for them. That's not what you're getting in this
anthology.
Clarion Publishing has carefully sought out 14 full-length stories and two
novelettes that are found nowhere else, either in print or on the Internet;
set them in a clean, new typeface; and presented them with the artwork that
originally accompanied their stories. These popular classics have been resurrected
because of their inaccessibility to the public and because they are too good
to leave hidden in the dustbin of the Golden Age of Pulp Western Fiction.
Journey Into Yesteryear
So roll a quirly, strap on your smoke-pole, and swing into the saddle for
a literary romp that will take you from the alkali deserts of the southwest
to the frozen wastes of the Alaskan wilderness, courtesy of The Pulp Western
Anthology: Volume One.
Paperback: 292 pages
Publisher: Clarion Publishing
Product Dimensions: 6 x 0.7 x 9 inches

THE PULP WESTERN ANTHOLOGY: VOLUME 2 - Now available!
by J. Walker Blue (Editor)
Eight Action-Packed Novelettes
This second volume of The Pulp Western Anthology focuses on the novelette—that
once popular form of fiction that was too long to be a short story and not
long enough to be a novel. The eight novelettes in this volume comprise more
than 100,000 words of fast-shooting, hard-riding action, and even a little
romance.
Not Seen in Decades
As was the case with volume one of The Pulp Western Anthology, none of the
stories in volume two can be found lurking in the Internet slush pile of
public domain works. We have intentionally sought stories that have been
hidden from public view since their initial publication, and have resurrected
them in the hopes that you, the reader, will find them as entertaining as
we do.We have set them in a clean, new typeface and presented them with the
artwork that originally accompanied their stories.
Classic Pulp Western Literature
This edition features the work of some of pulp western fiction's top names:
William F. Bragg, H.C. Wire, Ray Humphreys, William A. Todd, Wayne D. Overholser,
Walter Tompkins and William Schuyler. The stories are drawn from a series
of the most popular Western magazines from the years 1928, 1935, 1938, 1943
and 1949.
So roll a quirly, strap on your smoke-pole, and swing into the saddle for
a literary romp that will take you from roaring cowtowns and bullet-riddled
saloons to the Civil War-torn westernmost reaches of America, courtesy of
The Pulp Western Anthology: Volume 2.

The Spider #37 Audiobook
The Devil's Death Dwarfs by Norvell W. Page
writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Now available!
The most diabolical criminal ever
to menace America, Tang-akhmut, the Egyptian, had descended like a blighting
plague on Cincinnati. Tang-akhmut, leading a new and terrible army of dwarfed
monsters — scourging helpless women with poisoned and barbed whips; who set
about systematically to wreck the water supply of the city and then set uncontrollable
conflagrations to cover his looting. Richard Wentworth, the Spider, penniless,
a man outside the law, once more faces him in single-handed battle!
|
|
While the Spider borrowed his black slouch hat and cloak from the Shadow,
the rest of the character was drastically different. Wentworth is strongly
emotional, plumbing the thrills of victory as readily, and as deeply, as
the depths of despair during his escapades. His long-suffering fiancée,
Nita van Sloan, is a worthy character in her own right, often relegated to
the traditional role of hostage-bait. As additional exotic spice, Wentworth
maintains a Sikh manservant / warrior companion, Ram Singh, as well as chauffeur
Ronald Jackson, the sergeant from his old army days. Rounding out the cast
of characters is Commissioner of Police Stanley Kirkpatrick, Wentworth’s
staunch friend and the Spider’s greatest adversary; Kirkpatrick himself lives
in a state of constant angst for fear that duty will one day force him to
send his friend to the electric chair as punishment for the Spider’s crimes.
This thrilling Spider audiobook features acclaimed voice talent Nick Santa
Maria, who has made the Spider his own! The Devil's Death Dwarfs originally
published in The Spider magazine, October, 1936.

Captain Future #13 Audiobook
The Face of the Deep by Edmond Hamilton
Read by Milton Bagby
Now available!
Carried far outside the solar
system, and wrecked on a volcanic planetoid in company with a shipload of
condemned criminals, Captain Future faces the supreme test of his courage!
Captain Future has no shortage of enemies. Beings from across the universe
and beyond plot to dominate planets, to destroy galaxies, and find themselves
defeated by Captain Future. Only one of his foes, however, proved evil enough
to face Captain Future twice, Ull Quorn, The Magician of Mars.
|
|
As Captain Future stories continued to be written, it likely became necessary
for Newton and the Futuremen to make their way beyond our own solar system,
even our own galaxy. To this end, Captain Future eventually invents the ‘vibration
drive’, a device that essentially allows the band of heroes to go anywhere
they need to to protect the universe. New planets get explored and galaxies
unheard of spring into life, all teeming with some mystery and evil for Captain
Future to face. Travel between dimensions even becomes possible, as does
time travel! With each Captain Future story, the boundaries of where the
hero might go grew, eventually only being limited by the readers’ imaginations.
Although Captain Future was initially modeled on Doc Savage, hints and influences
of other heroes make their way into the stories as well. For instance, the
Planet Police summon Captain Future with a signal flare fired into the sky,
similarly to Batman, the Phantom Detective, and others. Also, Captain Future
has a female interest, although he never fully admits that she might be a
romantic one. A member of the Space Patrol, Joan Randall proves in story
after story that she can stand alongside the Futuremen and that she also
clearly has affection for Curt Newton.
Rocket into science fiction adventure and discover new worlds. Ripped from
the pages of the Winter 1943 issue of Captain Future magazine, “The Face
of the Deep” is read with wonder and excitement by Milton Bagby.

What did the miniature coffins signify? When men of great wealth and industry

WEINBERG TALES
Orders will be
accepted May 15 direct from Phyllis Weinberg!
Profits will go towards preserving the Robert E. Howard House.
Phyllis Weinberg,
Bob Garcia and Doug Ellis have produced a tribute book to Bob Weinberg.
The incredible Doug Klauba painted the cover, taking
his inspiration from Bob's favorite artist, Virgil Finlay.
The book collects various articles by Bob -- primarily
his 13 part autobiography of life as an art collector -- as well as tributes
by a whole host of folks.
It truly was a group effort by a lot of people,
so thanks to all who contributed.
And yes, Eery is spelled that way on the cover
intentionally -- it's the way that Weird Tales spelled it on their covers.
ORDERING DETAILS
On May 15th
there will be an active link on the American Fantasy Press website where
you can order WEINBERG TALES directly from Phyllis Weinberg.
The price will be $30.00 postpaid.
All the proceeds above the cost of production will go to preserving the
Robert E. Howard House in Cross Plains, TX.
Phyllis will be handling disbursements and the donations.
Yes, the book can be ordered from several
pulp retailers now.
Please consider waiting until May 15th to support preserving the
Robert E. Howard House in Cross Plains, TX.
