PATHS OF FIRE
by Albert Richard Wetjen, Tom Roberts (Introduction)
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!

Henry Awards said “he is in direct line of succession to Joseph Conrad.”
As a writer of sea stories, Wetjen was equally adept at penning fiction for

to readers in Blue Book, Adventure and Action Stories. Wetjen left home at
age thirteen for a life at sea, carrying on the traditions of his sailing
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.

Blood 'N' Thunder / Murania
Press
Writing pulp fiction for a living was a tough grind, but one that
always attracted hopefuls. Dewy-eyed aspirants were willing to serve an apprenticeship
in the pulps, secure in the knowledge that raw talent and hard work would
carry them to inevitable success in the slicks. These neophytes, eager for
helpful tips and sage advice from the pulpwood Big Timers, poured over the
pages of trade journals such as Writer's Digest, Author & Journalist,
Writer's Review, and Writer's Markets and Methods.
Established pulp writers and editors who contributed to these publications
were surprisingly generous with advice and admonition both. Every now and
then their articles were vague or self-serving, but a large number offered
genuinely useful tips and outlined methods of working that are just as sound
today as they were in 1930 or 1940. The two dozen essays collected in THE
PENNY-A-WORD BRIGADE hold significant educational value for today's wannabe
writers.
Some of these trade-journal pieces saw revival in issues of Blood 'n' Thunder.
A few—specifically, those by hero-pulp legends Lester Dent, Norvell Page,
and Walter B. Gibson—have been reprinted before, but never have all been
included between two covers. In context, surrounded by similar articles from
peers, each represents a vital piece in the larger puzzle.
Straight how-to articles are mixed with market analyses and personal reminiscences.
In addition to Gibson & Company, you'll find contributions from such
legendary high-volume producers as Arthur J. Burks, H. Bedford-Jones, and
Erle Stanley Gardner along with many second-tier favorites, including Nelson
Bond, Frederick C. Davis, G. T. Fleming-Roberts, Frank Gruber, and Henry
Kuttner.
The blue-pencil boys also supplied guidance to followers of the writers'
magazines, and PENNY-A-WORD BRIGADE includes excellent essays by Adventure's
Arthur Sullivant Hoffman, Black Mask's Joseph T. "Cap" Shaw, and editorial
directors of the major pulp outfits: Rogers Terrill (Popular Publications),
Leo Margulies (the "Thrilling Group"), Robert A. W. Lowndes (Columbia/Double
Action/Blue Ribbon), Ralph Daigh (Fawcett Publications), and Robert O. Erisman
(Martin Goodman's "Red Circle" line). Agents Lurton Blassingame and August
Lenninger, frequent contributors to Writer's Digest, present market reports
that at the time of publication were considered valuable tools for newcomers
aiming to crack well-established sheets.
This book is an invaluable addition to any reference library with books
documenting the pulp era. It can be ordered at muraniapress.com. The
$24.95 cover price includes shipping to buyers in the U.S.
PURCHASE PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING AND HANDLING TO

BLOOD 'N'
THUNDER PRESENTS, VOLUME ONE -- PRIDE OF THE PULPS
Now shipping!
In case you hadn't heard, last fall we brought to an
end Blood 'n' Thunder's 14-year run as a periodical. The zine went out with
a bang: a double issue numbered 49/50 and packed with some of the best articles
in BnT history. In the editorial we promised to continue the franchise with
a series of standalone volumes, issued at irregular intervals, covering various
aspects of pulp and pop-culture history under the general title of Blood
'n' Thunder Presents.
Well, this week we proudly release the first volume of Blood 'n' Thunder
Presents, subtitled Pride of the Pulps. It's been designed in the "deluxe"
trade-paperback format of 8 1/2 x 11 inches, with the series title in a wraparound
banner and the volume number printed at the top of the spine. All future
volumes will have a uniform design.
Pride of the Pulps devotes nearly 100,000 words to in-depth surveys of six
classic rough-paper magazines: Adventure, All-American Fiction, Famous Fantastic
Mysteries, The Popular Magazine, Short Stories, and West. Earlier versions
of these overviews were published in back issues of Blood 'n' Thunder, but
all have been revised and expanded for this book. Greatly expanded, in some
cases: the essay on Short Stories, for example, first appeared as a two-parter
with a total word count of 11,500 words. Its counterpart in Pride of the
Pulps runs close to 17,000 words.
The addition of new material extends as well to illustrative matter. The
surveys in Pride include more pulp covers and interior illustrations than
accompanied their earlier versions in BnT, but we've also added more scans
of original cover paintings.
In short, this is not a reprint volume that simply repurposes old copy.
It has a significant amount of new content and is a veritable textbook of
pulp-fiction history. Even if you'd be satisfied with the essays as printed
in BnT, it would cost you well over $100 to purchase those issues individually.
And that's assuming you could find them all: the two issues with the Short
Stories survey have been out of print for many years.
Future volumes of Blood 'n' Thunder Presents will be devoted to the following
topics: a history of Argosy, the working life of pulp writers, the output
of legendary scribe Edgar Wallace, a history of Doubleday's Crime Club book
division, and a survey of films made during 1932, which we posit to be fantastic
cinema's best year. We hope and expect to issue at least two volumes per
calendar year, although we're on track to publish three in 2017. Stay tuned
for more announcements.
In the meantime, don't miss out on our first release in the Blood 'n' Thunder
Presents series. We guarantee it'll make a valuable addition to any home
library of reference works covering pulp fiction and vintage American popular
culture.

BLOOD 'N'
THUNDER'S CLIFFHANGER CLASSICS VOLUME 2
Now shipping!
For nearly 50 years the motion-picture
chapter play was a vibrant part of our country’s pop-culture scene. Following
their favorite serials turned moviegoing into a weekly habit for millions
of Americans. During the silent-film era, episodic thrillers were marketed
to adults and children alike, but their emphasis on base melodrama and contrived
thrills appealed more to kids. Those youthful habitués of Saturday
matinees faithfully followed serials and retained fond memories of them.
Subsequent generations discovered cliffhanger classics via later broadcasts
on TV and reissues in collectable home-video formats.
This sequel to 2012's well-received Blood 'n' Thunder's Cliffhanger
Classics offers history and analysis of such popular and influential silent
serials as The Perils of Pauline (1914), The Million Dollar Mystery (1914),
The Diamond from the Sky (1915), The Riddle Rider (1924), and the four 1914-17
chapter plays of Francis Ford and Grace Cunard. Notable talkie-era serials
covered at length include Tarzan the Fearless (1933), The Return of Chandu
(1934), The Lost City (1935), Radio Patrol (1937), Red Barry (1938), The
Spider's Web (1938, and its 1941 sequel The Spider Returns), Hawk of the
Wilderness (1938), Adventures of Red Ryder (1940), and Secret Service in
Darkest Africa (1943).
A special essay titled "Anatomy of a Serial," taking an approach
not previously attempted by any chapter-play historian, chronicles the making
of fan favorite Spy Smasher (1942) from the licensing of the character rights
in June 1941 straight through to the film's national release in April 1942.
All aspects of the production are detailed with facts and figures, as well
as the recollections of director William Witney, star Kane Richmond, supporting
player Tris Coffin, and stunt ramrod Dave Sharpe.
The essays in Cliffhanger Classics are not the typical puff pieces
generally found in books on this subject. Each article has been carefully
researched and supplemented with first-hand recollections of people who worked
in the serials being examined, including leading men Buster Crabbe, Kane
Richmond, Herman Brix, and Rod Cameron; leading ladies Jacqueline Wells,
Iris Meredith, Kay Hughes, Vivian Coe; veteran serial writer Barry Shipman;
stuntmen Dave Sharpe and Tom Steele; and directors Ford Beebe and William
Witney. Their input makes this second volume of Cliffhanger Classics a valuable
addition to the historical record, as well as an entertaining read.
The book is profusely illustrated with more than 60 pages of rare
stills, posters, and lobby cards from the serials under examination.
Purchase price includes shipping to domestic U.S. buyers only; international
customers must inquire for shipping rates.

“McCulley was a first-rate talent, who could create a sense of
time and place with ease, who fashioned vivid characters from stock material,
who wrote action well and conveyed mood beautifully.” From the introduction
by Max Allan Collins, author of "Road to Perdition" and the Quarry series.
This volume features Zorro’s Fight for Life, originally published in West
magazine for April 1951 and never reprinted. Sixteen additional short stories
— from West, Max Brand’s Western Magazine, and Short Stories For Men — are
included, with an introductio by Max Allan Collins, and an afterword by Rich
Harvey.
Capitán Juan Ruelas had been at his new post for only a fortnight,
but already was known as an extremist in brutality. He was certain the peons
and natives sheltered Zorro, their masked defender. Don Estaban Santana relished
the torture, and hatched a scheme to capture the vigilante and disgrace Don
Diego Vega, unaware they were one and the same! Then Zorro had another challenger
on his hands — Americano Pete Jordan, a loose cannon whose stubborn pride
might kill them all!
Some Zorro stories had remnained out of print since their original appearance
in the pulp magazines. Now, for the first time, Johnston McCulley's original
stories of the "Curse of Capistrano" are collected into one complete set
— Zorro: The Complete Pulp Adventures.

SWORDS AND DEVILTRY
By Fritz Leiber
Now available!
In the annals of heroic fantasy one epic tale stands head and shoulders
above the rest, spanning sixty years in the telling, the saga of Fafhrd and
the Gray Mouser has captivated fans ever since Fritz Leiber’s first tale
of the duo appeared in the August, 1939 issue of Unknown. Just in time for
the seventy-eighth anniversary of the characters debut, Centipede Press is
releasing the first of what will be the definitive eight-volume set comprising
not only all of the stories by Fritz Leiber (and his friend Harry Fischer),
but also the brilliant epilogue to the series, Swords Against the Shadowland
by Robin Wayne Bailey.
These are archival editions, lavishly illustrated and featuring guest introductions
from some of the top writers in the field. We plan on releasing both Swords
and Deviltry and Swords Against Death this year and customers are encouraged
to contact us about reserving the entire set. There are 500 unsigned copies
available.
The story of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser is among the most enduring in modern
fantasy and we suggest reserving your set sooner rather than later.
Swords and Deviltry features five color interior illustrations, a full-color
frontispiece, full color wraparound dustjacket, and custom illustrated endpapers.
The introduction is by Michael Moorcock. The book includes all of the stories
that make up Swords and Deviltry along with two archival essays by Harry
O. Fischer, Fritz Leiber’s 1973 introduction, two “Gray Mouser” poems from
The Acolyte, and an interview with Fritz Leiber from 1979. Yes, we will be
publishing the entire series of novels, each one with a load of extras. This
is the ultimate edition of this legendary fantasy series.

Clive Cussler: THE ROMANOV RANSOM (A Sam and Remi Fargo Adventure) - Arriving in book stores September 12!
by Clive Cussler, Robin Burcell
Treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo's search for a Romanov fortune
brings them into perilous contact with an ambitious neo-Nazi clan, in the
thrilling adventure from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.
In 1918, a ransom of enormous size was paid to free the Romanovs from the
Bolsheviks, but, as history knows, the Romanovs died anyway. And the ransom?
During World War II, the Nazis stole it from the Russians, and after that--it
vanished. Until now.
When a modern-day kidnapping captures the attention of husband-and-wife
team Sam and Remi Fargo, the couple soon learn that these long-lost riches
may be back in play, held in trust by the descendants of a Nazi guerrilla
faction called the Werewolves. It is their mission to establish the Fourth
Reich, and their time is coming soon.
As the Fargos follow the trail across Europe, Northern Africa, and South
America, they know only one thing. This quest is greater than anything they
have ever done--it is their chance to make someone answer for unspeakable
crimes, and to prevent them from happening again.

THE COMPLETE TALES OF JULES DE GRANDIN, VOLUME TWO:
THE DEVIL'S ROSARY - Arriving in book stores
September 5!
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, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero.
The second volume, The Devil’s Rosary, includes all of the Jules de Grandin
stories from “The Black Master” (1929) to “The Wolf of St. Bonnot” (1930),
as well as an introduction by Jim Rockhill.

Further
Adventures Beyond the Farthest Star
By Lee Strong
Now available in hardcover!
Softcover and eBook editions are coming
soon!
Like fellow Earthman, Tangor from the story Beyond the Farthest Star,
American OSS officer Thomas Randolph is mysteriously teleported to a foreign
planet where he lands in the center of a 100-year war that mirrors the Allied
Powers’ struggle against Adolph Hitler’s Third Reich.
Unlike Tangor, Randolph – now Tomas Ran – finds himself behind enemy lines
where he gains a first-hand view of the inner workings of the corrupt Kapar
empire. Will Tomas, using his OSS skills, be able to devise a plan to escape
with the beautiful Unisan prisoner, Loris Kiri, that will allow them to join
her countrymen in their struggle against the Kapars?
American novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs debuted the world of Poloda in the
pulp story Beyond the Farthest Star in 1940 just as Hitler’s Nazis marched
across Europe and the Imperial Japanese extended their reach across the South
Pacific. Burroughs’ youthful idealism regarding the nobility of America’s
previous war efforts had given way to a mature perspective of the savagery
of combat that stains every battlefield. Burroughs’ deeply-held views are
reflected in this tale about a planet ravaged by 100 years of conflict as
the nation of Unis devotes its entire existence to the struggle of freedom
against tyranny.
Author Lee Strong created this second adventure on the planet Poloda, which
lies beyond the Globular Cluster NGC 7006 ‘ 450,000 light years away from
earth. Join Tomas Ran as he explores Poloda, battles Kapars, and finds love
Beyond the Farthest Star.
AUTHOR
Lee Strong’s heart was captured by the dinosaurs found At the Earth’s Core
in 1962. He has been a Burroughs reader ever since. Lee also worked for the
US Department of Defense (DOD); changed international policy with a single
report; deployed to Kuwait; saved taxpayers $5 million; and reformed the
$2 billion DOD Personal Property Program. A Soldier of Poloda is Lee’s first
novel. He is currently working on two Pellucidar novels with more to come.
Lee’s motto: More Adventure ! More Excitement !! More Burroughs !!!

Edgar Rice Burroughs
TARZAN
OF THE APES
Now available!
Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Narrated by: David Stifel
Length: 9 hrs and 47 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
This book was an instant best-seller
and became (and remains to this day) an international sensation, much like
Harry Potter today. The story of the infant son of an English Lord and Lady
marooned on the coast of Africa made its author famous and wealthy. Adopted
by the she-ape, Kala, Tarzan becomes a "mighty hunter, mighty fighter" -
the first superhero in American literature.
This audiobook presents the original, uncensored 1914 McClurg first edition
text. Most versions of this book on the market today use an altered, politically
correct text that was released in 1966.The narrator is David Stifel, "That
Burroughs Guy", who hosted "The Fantastic Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs",
a six-year podcast of Burroughs's books serialized a few chapters at a time.
Mr. Stifel has narrated over 20 titles by ERB, and has contributed to several
popular academic studies of Mr. Burroughs.

New on Famous (and forgotten) Fiction!
September 2017
We've added a new Author Collection to FAFF, and are pleased to present
The Edmond Hamilton Collection.
Like our other Author Collections, our initial offering begins with a biography
of Hamilton and we've also included Hamilton's very first story, The Monster God of Mamurath.
In the months to come, we will be adding additional Hamilton stories to
the collection and will also be adding more early science fiction by names
both famous and forgotten.
July 2017
This month, we present "The Jameson Satellite," direct from the pages of the
July, 1931 issue of Amazing Stories, along with an introduction by Bob Gay.
Also, we have added another annotated gallery of Bob's Stuff, with even more wonderment from Bob's boxes
and shelves.
June 2017
Back after a short hiatus (insert your favorite quote about life here) we
present the fourth, and final story of Doyle's Tales of the High Seas, "The Striped Chest."
Dan Neyer introduces the story and also addresses the unknowns that surround
the tale, as Captain Sharkey is nowhere to be found in the narrative.
All of Doyle's text is there, along with the illustrations by Warwick Goble,
just as they appeared in the July 1897 issue of Pearson’s Magazine (UK).
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!

Hard Case Crime
Coming soon!
October 2017
QUARRY'S CLIMAX
Max Allan Collins
Cover art by Robert McGinnis
Memphis, 1975. "Raunchy" doesn’t begin to describe Max Climer’s magazine,
Climax, or his all-hours strip club, or his planned video empire. Evangelists,
feminists, and local watchdog groups all want him out of business. But someone
wants more than that, and has hired a killer to end Max’s career permanently.
Only another hit man—the ruthless professional known as Quarry, star of the
acclaimed series on Cinemax—can keep Climer from becoming a casualty in the
Sexual Revolution.
The longest-running series from Max Allan Collins, author of ROAD TO PERDITION,
the Quarry novels tell the story of an assassin with an unlikely taste for
justice. Once a Marine sniper, Quarry found a new home stateside with a group
of contract killers. But some men aren’t made for taking orders…
First publication ever!
A new Quarry novel set in the time of the hit Cinemax series
Features a new cover painting by the legendary Robert McGinnis
November 2017
TURN ON THE HEAT
Erle Stanley Gardner
Cover art by Laurel Blechman, Robert Maguire
Erle Stanley Gardner was not just the creator of PERRY MASON—at the
time of his death, he was the best-selling American author of all time, with
hundreds of millions of books in print. Among those books were the 29 cases
of the brash, irresistible detective team of Bertha Cool and Donald Lam.
Last year, Hard Case Crime brought out the first new Cool and Lam novel in
decades, THE KNIFE SLIPPED, lost for 77 years after Gardner’s publisher refused
it. Now, we’re bringing you the book Gardner wrote to replace it, often considered
the best in the series: TURN ON THE HEAT.
Hired by a mysterious "Mr. Smith" to find a woman who vanished 21 years
earlier, Donald Lam finds himself facing a sadistic cop, a desperate showgirl,
a duplicitous client, and one very dogged (and beautiful) newspaper reporter—while
Bertha Cool’s attempts to cut herself in on this lucrative opportunity land
them both hip-deep in murder...
First appearance in bookstores in half a century!
Erle Stanley Gardner remains one of the most popular American authors of
all time
Features a new cover painting by Laurel Blechman, working from reference
photos shot by the legendary pulp illustrator Robert Maguire.

THE MASSACRE OF MANKIND: Sequel to The War of the Worlds - Now available!
by Stephen Baxter
It has been 14 years since the Martians invaded England. The world
has moved on, always watching the skies but content that we know how to defeat
the Martian menace. Machinery looted from the abandoned capsules and war-machines
has led to technological leaps forward. The Martians are vulnerable to earth
germs. The Army is prepared.
So when the signs of launches on Mars are seen, there seems little reason
to worry. Unless you listen to one man, Walter Jenkins, the narrator of Wells'
book. He is sure that the Martians have learned, adapted, understood their
defeat.
He is right.
Thrust into the chaos of a new invasion, a journalist - sister-in-law to
Walter Jenkins - must survive, escape and report on the war.
The Massacre of Mankind has begun.

coedited the last five. Thanks to the generosity of Philip José Farmer
and his “Magic Filing Cabinet,” Farmerphile published—for the first time
anywhere—short stories (mostly not science fiction), excerpts, articles,
speeches, and letters written by Farmer. It even serialized the novel Up
from the Bottomless Pit (not included in this collection, but forthcoming
from Meteor House).
Farmerphile also contained articles and appreciations from Farmer’s fans
and from his fellow science fiction authors, from critiques of his work to
stories of personal encounters, and everything between. A complete list of
the original contents of all fifteen issues can be found here.
Hardcover Limited Edition
Now the hard part: narrowing down so much content into one “Best of” collection.
This was much harder than it sounds, as nearly all the content was worthy
of inclusion. So, we focused on broadly covering as much ground as possible,
as well as including pieces that touched on Farmer’s personal life. Assembled
here is a wealth of information about one of the greatest science fiction
writers of all time along, with some of his earliest writing.
The Best of Farmerphile is available in two editions: a Trade Paperback
and a Hardcover Limited Edition. The hardcover is not “officially” a signed
limited edition, but when the book debuts at PulpFest/FarmerCon XII in late
July 2017, we will get as many contributors on hand as possible to sign it
before we ship the books to those preordered (shipping will occur immediately
after PulpFest/FarmerCon XII).
PREORDERING:
The trade paperback edition is $29 (plus shipping).
The hardcover limited edition is $45 (plus shipping).
Or you can preorder them together for only $67—that’s $7 off (plus you’ll
save even more with combined shipping)!
Preorder early to ensure you get a copy of the limited edition hardcover.
As always, the print run on the limited edition will be determined by the
number of preorders received.
Not many copies beyond those reserved will be printed.
NOTE: due to the complexities of publishing rights,
no ebook edition will be produced!

by Heidi Ruby
Miller
Now available!
In Philip José Farmer’s
novel Two Hawks from Earth, Native American pilot Roger Two Hawks flew through
his first “gate” while on a bombing run over Romania during World War II.
The gate brought him to Earth 2, a world where the Americas never existed.
Since then he has continued to fight battles on Earth after Earth, each more
strange than the next.
In Heidi Ruby Miller’s short story “Dakota’s Gate” (Worlds of Philip José
Farmer 3), set on Earth 3, North America never advanced past stone tools
and rock shelters. But that’s where Two Hawks met another gate traveler,
Dakota Cummings. It was Dakota, a woman turned friend and lover, who pulled
him through a gate to her Earth, the most alien and deadly of all.
Earth 4. Two hundred years in the future. A war thirty-six thousand feet
underwater. Two Hawks must draw upon all he’s learned during his gate travels
in order to survive war between technologically advanced humans and their
far-future hybrid cousins. This time more than just his and Dakota’s lives
are at stake—the fate of an entire world is in his hands.
Featuring cover art by Mark Wheatley, an introduction by Christopher Paul
Carey, and the short story “Dakota’s Gate” as a prelude, Man of War is a
24,500-word novella full of the action and adventure you’d expect of Philip
José Farmer’s Roger Two Hawks.
Man of War will be published simultaneously in both hardcover and paperback
signed limited editions!

THE BOATS OF THE "GLEN CARRIG" AND OTHER NAUTICAL
ADVENTURES:
THE COLLECTED FICTION OF WILLIAM HOPE HODGSON, VOLUME 1
Arriving in book stores September 5!
William Hope Hodgson was, like his contemporaries
Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, one of the most important, prolific,
and influential fantasists of the early twentieth century. His dark and unsettling
short stories and novels were shaped in large part by personal experience
(a professional merchant mariner for much of his life, many of Hodgson’s
tales are set at sea), and his work evokes a disturbing sense of the amorphous
and horrific unknown.

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.

Recoverings
These new dust-jackets use scans of the original cover paintings
by J. Allen St. John and Studley O. Burroughs, producing the extremely sharp
detail and rich color that my dust-jackets are known for.
Click on the image to the right and see for yourself.
APACHE DEVIL was the last cover that Studley O. Burroughs did for ERB, Inc.
and CITY OF GOLD was the first that J. Allen St. John did, marking a return
of the illustrator to his favorite and most well-known subjects.
Studley originally had the CITY OF GOLD assignment in the fall of 1932,
but his personal problems got the better of him and he ended up way behind
schedule.
Burroughs had C.R. Rothmund, his secretary, write to St. John as early as
February of that year to ask him if he could reduce his prices for artwork,
which he had quoted teh previous February, to match their "budget allowance"
in the event that "the artist who is doing the work at present" would not
be able to deliver on time. St. John agreed to a 37% decrease and ERB, Inc.
put him off until it became clear that Studley would miss his deadline. Read
more about this on The Back Flap Blog soon to come…
