Airship 27 Productions
THE ADVENTURES OF
CAPTAIN GRAVES
By Thomas McNulty
Now available!
Airship 27 Productions is proud to present author Thomas McNulty’s
newest full length novel, “The Adventures of Captain Graves.”
Of all the colorful men who sailed the exotic waters of the South Pacific,
none was more legendary Captain Elliot Graves. Rogue, pirate, spy, explorer
were all titles used in telling of his adventures aboard his ship, The Reaper’s
Sythe. Then in 1944, Captain Graves disappeared without a trace, his ship
supposedly sinking of the coast of Australia with all hands lost.
Eight years later, reporter Bill Harrison finds him living in Honolulu and
manages to persuade Graves to recount the events of his last and greatest
adventure. Now for the first time the legendary sea captain will reveal what
actually happened on a remote South Sea island that changed his life forever.
“I first met Thomas McNulty at the Windy City Pulp show years ago,” reports
Airship 27 Productions Managing Editor Ron Fortier. “At that time he was
selling his comprehensive biography of Hollywood swashbuckler, Errol Flynn.
We became friends and I later learned he is one of the premier western writers
in the country today.”
Though successful at writing westerns, McNulty had always wanted to pen
an old fashion pulper inspired by the man whose life he had chronicled, Errol
Flynn. From that inspiration was born “The Adventures of Captain Graves.”
He approached Fortier with the idea and soon the book was in full production.
Now Thomas McNulty spins a fast paced tale of two-fisted men, beautiful
women and lush island paradises where both heaven and hell await. Canadian
Ted Hammond provides the gorgeous cover and Ed Catto, a well known marketing
personality, donned his own artist cap to do nine black and white interior
pieces, all of which was assembled by award winning Art Direct Rob Davis.
“The Adventures of Captain Graves” is a classic pulp adventure delivered
by a master storyteller.
Available
from Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.

Dusty Ayres and his Battle Birds #8: The Black Avenger
by Robert Sidney Bowen
“To Captain Ayres: The greatest among
us has died by your hand. We, the living, are pledged to avenge that loss.
Within forty-eight hours you and your comrades will be wiped from the face
of the earth. Nothing can save you!” This message, signed Ekar, was dropped
on Dusty’s drome; at the same time another Yank air field nearby was wiped
out by a new horror weapon—a flaming rain that destroyed everything it touched!
How can America fight this new menace? How can she keep the Blacks from crossing
her borders?
184 pages | $13.95 softcover
The Complete
Cases of Needle Mike, Volume 1 (The Dime Detective Library)
by William E. Barrett
A millionaire playboy with a yen for excitement,
young Ken McNally disguises himself as the gray-haired, gold-toothed, jaundiced-looking
proprietor of a seedy tattoo parlor in the “tenderloin” district of St. Louis.
His unusual occupation frequently brings him into contact with underworld
denizens who, willingly or accidentally, embroil him in criminal activities.
Written by William E. Barrett, Needle Mike found himself embroiled in nearly
20 hard-boiled mysteries originally published between 1935 and 1938 in the
pages of Dime Detective, the prestigious crime pulp second only to the legendary
Black Mask in its impact on the genre.
Contains the following stories: “The Tattooed Corpse,” “The Tattooed Countess,”
“The Tattooed Curse” and “The Tattooed Cobra.”
258 pages
| $19.95 softcover | $29.95 hardcover
The Complete
Cases of Inspector Allhoff, Volume 2 (The Dime Detective Library)
by D.L. Champion
Brilliant, decisive, and hard-charging, Deputy
Inspector Allhoff was the NYPD’s ace detective until bullets from a mobster’s
machine gun robbed him of his legs, his career, and—in the opinion of an
associate—his sanity. Yet Allhoff was too good a man to be put out to pasture,
so New York’s police commissioner found a way to keep him employed and refer
to him such cases as the department couldn’t or wouldn’t handle. Confined
to a wheelchair and operating from a seedy tenement flat, Allhoff is assisted
by two cops: Battersly, the rookie patrolman whose brief moment of cowardice
cost the inspector his legs, and Simmons, the bitter career cop who detests
Allhoff but sticks with the embittered cripple to protect his own pension.
Contains the following stories: “The 10:30 to Sing Sing,” “Coffee for a
Killer,” “The Corpse That Wasn’t There,” “A Bed for the Body,” “Tell It to
Homicide,” “Murder in the Mirror,” “A Leg on Murder,” “You’re the Crime in
My Coffee.”

The Complete
Cases of Peter Kane (The Dime Detective Library)
by Hugh B. Cave
introduction by Bob Byrne
No longer a Boston police officer, hard-boiled
drunk Peter Kane made the easy transition to work as a P.I. Though now in
private practice, Kane had a knack for cracking cases while constantly inebriated.
Collecting the entire series, along with an all-new introduction by Bob Byrne.
Written by Hugh B. Cave, Kane stumbled through nine gin-soaked yarns published
between 1934 and 1942 in the pages of Dime Detective, the prestigious crime
pulp second only to the legendary Black Mask in its impact on the genre.
Contains the following stories: “The Late Mr. Smythe,” “Hell on Hume Street,”
“Bottled in Blonde,” “The Man Who Looked Sick,” “The Screaming Phantom,”
“The Brand of Kane,” “Ding Dong Belle,” “The Dead Don’t Swim” and “No Place
to Hide.”
365 pages
| $24.95 softcover | $34.95 hardcover
The Complete
Cases of Ken Carter (The Dime Detective Library)
by Norvell Page
Immediately before picking up the reigns of writing
the adventures of the Spider, pulp writer Norvell Page introduced the weird
detective mysteries of another, similar adventure character, Ken Carter.
Running in the hard-boiled pages of the 1930s detective pulps, Ken Carter
battled a myriad of offbeat villains in a series which is clearly a prototype
of Page’s style of novels he soon later wrote of the Spider. Collecting all
seven stories, along with their original illustrations.
Contains the following stories: “Hell’s Music,” “City of Corpses,” “Statues
of Horror,” “Gallows Ghost,” “Satan’s Hoof,” “The Sinister Embrace” and “Satan’s
Sideshow.”
367 pages
| $24.95 softcover | $34.95 hardcover
The Complete
Cases of Seekay (The Dime Detective Library)
by Paul Ernst
introduction by Will Murray
The cases he takes up are often bizarre and grotesque,
but no more so than this anonymous private investigator himself: Seekay’s
entire face is covered by a mask of pink celluloid, with only his “burning
black eyes” visible to those who come into contact with him—and who almost
invariably are unnerved by the experience, whether friend or foe. Collecting
the entire series, written by the writer of The Avenger, Paul Ernst.
Contains the following stories: “Madame Murder—and The Corpse Brigade,”
“The Corpse With The Third Eye,” “Case Of The Smoking Skulls,” “Two Tickets
To Hell” and “Widow Of The Talking Head.”

The Iron Man is a fascinating cross-section of the works of Louis-Sébastien
Mercier (1740-1814), a unique writer whose originality and enterprise has
never yet been given the full credit that it deserves.
From an early contribution to the development of the literary vampire to
a pair of revealing philosophical spectacles, from a world that seems to
be the best of all possible worlds to interplanetary voyages, and the eponymous
“Iron Man,” a precursor of superhero fiction, many of Mercier’s visionary
fantasies are still fresh and original today, his exploratory zest not having
been weighed down by the burden of subsequent sophistication.
We can best appreciate the full effect of the liberation that the device
of dreaming gave to his literary imagination, turning him into a genuine
precursor of surrealism who created a number of what were to become conventional
tropes of supernatural fiction in original ways.

Les Contes de Contes[1] bearing the signature Mademoiselle de ***,
was originally printed in Paris in two volumes in July 1697, and reissued
in 1707, this time being attributed to Charlotte-Rose Caumont de La Force
(1650-1724).
Of all the pioneering writers of contes de fées, La Force is perhaps
the one who took the greatest imaginative license from the freedom to make
arbitrary inventions and narrative moves. Her tales tell a story that is
very different from the historical fantasies built on Perrault’s moralistic
tales for children. The morals attached to Mademoiselle de La Force’s tales
are certainly not aimed at children. In fact, what distinguishes her tales
from those of her most famous contemporaries is their evident moral unease.
By far the most famous of her tales is “Persinette” which was plagiarized
by Friedrich Schultz, who retitled it “Rapunzel” (1790), and it was subsequently
collected under that title by the Brothers Grimm. That version became the
basis for the Disney film Tangled (2010).
All eight stories collected here give evidence of some painful existential
wounds that led the author to say of herself, “I have always been deceived,
and only found in my entire life one good friend; I have had perfidious and
false friends in quantity….”

The Marquis de Lupiano (1858) is the fourth and final volume in a
sprawling saga that tells the story of the secret government’s spy network,
the Secret Bureau, that intercepts and opens all private mail.
In this tome, we finally discover the hidden origins of the mercurial Marquis
de Lupiano and his connection to the accursed Hulet family. The secret master
of the various conspiracies, such as the Sleepers’ Club, the Brothers of
Death and the Red Brotherhood, now plots to change the course of history
by freeing Napoleon from Saint-Helena.
We also learn of the final fate of Gregorio Matiphous, the cunning Maltese
who fell in love with Georgiana, the so-called “bloodied girl.” We see how
the web of fate that has trapped the Hulets for generations collides with
the bandit Rempailleux, who is now the head of the Secret Bureau.
Charles Rabou (1803-1871) was one of the founders of the prestigious Revue
de Paris and a friend of Honoré de Balzac, whose unfinished novels
he completed after the latter’s death. He was also a master of the roman
noir (crime novel). The Secret Bureau is an important link between the works
of Jules Janin and Frédéric Soulié on the one hand,
and Paul Féval and Ponson du Terrail on the other.

Across the vast reaches of space stretch these spirited works of
classic science fiction and speculative fantasy from Victor Rousseau, author
of The Messiah of the Cylinder and Draft of Eternity.
The Atom Smasher
A blinding light, the frantic oscillation of the Atom Smasher— and two innocents
are plunged into the awful nothingness of the fifth dimension, where neither
space nor time exists, only a sense of death, awful and indescribable. Will
these innocents be sacrificed upon the altar of science? Only inventor Tode
can decide.
Revolt on Inferno
Banished from Earth and sent to a doomed planet, fifty men—and one woman—find
themselves condemned to a fate worse than death!
The Beetle Horde
Only two adventurers stand in the way of Bram’s horrible revenge—unleashing
an armada of man-sized beetles upon a defenseless world.
Outlaws of the Sun
Transported to Circe, outermost of the planets, three intrepid explorers
fall victim to the designs of a mad scientist.
These and other works are sure to astonish and entertain!

Blood 'N' Thunder
/ Murania Press
Edited
by Ed Hulse
Now available!
Webster's Dictionary describes Potpourri as "a miscellaneous collection."
Murania Press describes Pulpourri as "a miscellaneous collection of well-written,
impeccably researched essays on pulp fiction and how it influenced American
popular culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries."
This latest volume in the BLOOD 'N' THUNDER PRESENTS series has been assembled
by Ed Hulse, co-editor of Amazon's best-selling THE ART OF THE PULPS, from
contributions by some of today's most distinguished pop-culture scholars
and archeologists. Their lengthy, informative essays are profusely illustrated
with pulp and book covers, interior artwork, rare photographs, and movie
posters. And the works herein are new to this volume, not culled from back
issues of BLOOD 'N' THUNDER.
Hulse leads off the book with a 15,000-word piece on the masterwork of celebrated
mystery writer Mary Roberts Rinehart: THE BAT, which began life as a 1907
pulp yarn and over the next several decades was revived in books, movies,
and even a hit Broadway play. More importantly, it influenced the creation
of Batman by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.
In other essays: Jeffrey Shanks looks at colonialism in the pulps. Dave
Smith chronicles the exploits of the original Suicide Squad, a trio of hard-charging
FBI agents from the pulp ACE G-MAN STORIES. Laurie Powers profiles Street
& Smith's top female editor, Daisy Bacon, who made LOVE STORY MAGAZINE
the top-selling pulp and ended her career trying to revive the flagging SHADOW
and DOC SAVAGE pulps. Will Murray reveals the early literary efforts of Robert
Maxwell, best known for producing the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN radio and TV
shows but also a prolific contributor to the notorious girlie pulps published
by DC Comics head honcho Harry Donenfeld. And in a massive (18,000 words),
exhaustively researched piece, Rick Lai discusses the use of ancient religion
and mythology in the works of Conan creator Robert E. Howard. This essay
is accompanied by a reprint of Howard's "Black Talons," a weird mystery from
1933 and one of his most obscure stories.
In the realm of motion pictures adapted from pulp yarns, Ed Hulse documents
the making of HAWK OF THE WILDERNESS, the 1938 Republic serial version of
William L. Chester's classic adventure yarn from BLUE BOOK magazine. And
we present what may be the only surviving photos taken on location during
production of the aborted 1935 film featuring Street & Smith's Western-pulp
hero Pete Rice.

Blood 'N' Thunder
/ Murania Press
Now
available!
The latest release from Murania Press is a collection of informative,
extensively researched essays on the Westerns of pulp fiction and Saturday-matinee
motion pictures from the 20th century’s first half. Most of these pieces
initially saw print in BLOOD 'N' THUNDER; a few were originally written for
other publications; and one is new to this book. The reprinted essays all
have been reedited and expanded, some considerably. Author Ed Hulse examines
best-selling authors such as Zane Grey, Max Brand, Walt Coburn, and Clarence
E. Mulford; memorable series characters such as Zorro, Hopalong Cassidy,
The Lone Ranger, and Whistling Dan Barry; and popular cowboy stars such as
Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, William Boyd, Randolph Scott, George O’Brien — to name
just a few in each category.
While not a comprehensive narrative history, this book’s 17 essays in their
totality cover a long span of time and a great deal of ground. The author
has uncovered a wealth of heretofore unreported information on the making
of classic Western movies, much of it gleaned from the actors, writers, and
directors themselves.
As a bonus the book reprints Stewart Edward White’s outstanding 1919 novella,
THE KILLER, twice adapted by Hollywood; the second and best version, a stylish
1932 exercise in “Western Gothic” titled MYSTERY RANCH, is covered by Hulse
at length in the 5,100-word essay written specifically to accompany White’s
story.
At 286 pages, its 146,000 words accompanied by dozens of seldom-seen cover
reproductions and rare movie stills, THE WILD WEST OF FICTION AND FILM is
an invaluable addition to the history of American pop culture. It's available
at muraniapress.com for $25.00, which includes free shipping to domestic
U.S. buyers.

UNTAMED PELLUCIDAR
By Lee Strong
Illustrated by Douglas Klauba
Now available in hardcover & softcover!
Northern Russia, 1924: The Red Army is eliminating those who resist
the fledgling Soviet government. At The Battle of the Plutonian Plain, the
White Russian forces, aided by wily American Edgar Rice Burroughs, do not
fall, instead retreating into the dangers of Pellucidar. Comrade Trotsky,
the Soviet leader, sends his troops to hunt them down—and destroy them.
Mikhail Kirillivitch Kirov, a young conscript caught up in this mad scheme,
is fascinated by this new world. Formerly a student anthropologist, he finds
Pellucidar’s Stone Age landscape and inhabitants a revelation—until he’s
grabbed by a mammoth Skal and flown back to its aerie to feed its giant offspring.
Thus begins Kirov’s astounding adventure in the Northern environs of Pellucidar,
rife with its incredible Paleolithic animal life, including Skals, Trals
and Dyals, tremendous birds with sharp talons and fierce beaks; Ryths, the
huge Stone Age cave bears whose claws can tear a man apart; and the vicious
Jaloks, hyaenodons whose wild packs slaughter their prey mercilessly. These
and other fantastic beasts stalk Kirov as he navigates the complex world
of Pellucidar’s most dangerous predator: Man.
To survive, Kirov must escape slavery from the Beautiful Ala and her mighty
Black Birdriders, foster a civil war, impress the natives with his “inventions,”
conquer the terrifying Pulka Horde, and become a warlord of several tribes
as they flee the Soviet invaders. It’s a tale in the grand tradition of Edgar
Rice Burroughs’ epic adventures at The Earth’s Core.
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 !!!

New on Famous (and forgotten) Fiction!
June 2018
It has been some time since Baroness Orczy has graced our site and
this month you will find "Juliette A Tale of the Terror," the sixth published
story by the Baroness that is set during the French Revolution.
We have included all the original illustrations by the Baroness's husband,
Montagu Barstow, translations for all archaic words and phrases and an informative
introduction by Dan Neyer.
May 2018
Many parodies of Sherlock Holmes have been done over the years, but
none had quite the insider's point of view than those done by James M. Barrie.
In "The Late Sherlock Holmes," Barrie not only gives a
twist to the events of "The Adventure of the Final Problem," and the Holmes
canon in general, but also gives an original solution to who really killed
Holmes (remember, it is a parody).
Due to all the in-jokes and references, we've produced an annotated version
of the pastiche and whether you are a seasoned Sherlockian or a neophyte,
we think you will find it enjoyable.
April 2018
Continuing our reprinting of Edmond Hamilton, we present "The Atomic Conquerors," from the August, 1926 issue
of Weird Tales with the original title art and an introduction by Bob Gay.
Also, a bit of humor by the artist Stanley L. Wood, in an article entitled
“Authors—from an Artist's Standpoint,” wherein Wood
demonstrates that he had not only a very sharp wit, but also a gift for caricature,
just as it appeared in the March, 1904 issue of Pearson's Magazine (UK).
March 2018
Since the flu season was a bit rougher than normal this year, we
thought it was a good time to resurrect a short novel by Jack London, The Scarlet Plague, which tells of the end of civilization
due to a rather nasty disease.
We have reproduced all the Gordon Grant illustrations, all the text and
have thrown in an introduction by Bob Gay that sets the novel in context.
January 2018
A tale of romance and piracy with a twist...The She Fiend (by an unknown author) gives us a female
pirate with all the cunning and wiles of the Dragon Lady. Introduction
is by Dan Neyer.
December 2017
This month we present for your approval the very first published
story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Mystery of the Raymond Mortgage."
We have tried to put together a "definitive" edition of this early work
and hope you enjoy it. Introduction by Bob Gay.
November 2017
Since the we are in the midst of the holiday season, we thought a
Christmas offering might be appreciated, and so we are happy to present a
story by
Bret Harte, "How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar," just as it
appeared (with a few editorial interpolations) in the March, 1872 issue of
The Atlantic Monthly. Introductory notes are by Bob Gay.

Printing, you ask? Good question! All we can say at this time is that the
2nd Edition will contain the four Captain Future novels:
“Captain Future and the Space Emperor” (Captain Future, Win ’40)
“Calling Captain Future” (Captain Future, Spr ’40)
“Captain Future’s Challenge” (Captain Future, Sum ’40)
“The Triumph of Captain Future” (Captain Future, Fll ’40)
and we’ll share more information as it becomes available.
So, prime yer rockets while Mr. Wart Ears here goes to the galley for another
jug of Xeno.

Jumpin’ Jungle Cats of Jupiter! It’s another mega-collection of four
complete novels of the “Man of Tomorrow,” the “Wizard of Science,” the protector
of the Solar System and a menace to evil-doers throughout the universe: CAPTAIN
FUTURE!
Now that Captain Future (aka Dr. Curtis Newton) and the Futuremen (Grag
the robot; Otho the Android; and Simon Wright, the Living Brain) have traveled
not only through time but to another universe in the final story of Volume
Three (See “Planets in Peril”), what other dangers will our heroes encounter?
Well, THE FACE OF THE DEEP sees the Futuremen stranded outside the Solar
System on a volcanic planetoid in the company of a shipload of condemned
criminals. Up next is WORLDS TO COME (written by Joseph Samachson) where
Curt and his crew speed to the rescue of the Sagittarian system—ready to
battle in mortal combat with nightmare enemies from another dimension.
Edmond Hamilton (writing as Brett Sterling) returns with THE STAR OF DREAD
wherein our heroes ply their stock-in-trade by exposing a dangerous secret
menacing humanity and taking desperate risks pursuing two scheming miscreants
across the void! Closing out this penultimate volume of the novel-length
adventures of The Futuremen is MAGIC MOON. Adorned by one of Earle K. Bergey’s
finest cover paintings, we see conspirators plotting to seize the satellite
Styx, third moon of Pluto, enslaving the peaceful natives, and putting Captain
Future and his trusty aides on their most dangerous mission ever!
As with the previous three volumes of THE COLLECTED CAPTAIN FUTURE, “Under
Observation,” the CAPTAIN FUTURE letters column is reprinted, and the original
pulp covers and interior illustrations are reproduced in a generous appendix.

The Complete Ivy Frost
by Donald Wandrei
Cover Art by Raymond Swanland
Now available for pre-order and coming soon!
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.

Hard Case Crime
Coming soon!

UNDERSTUDY FOR DEATH
Charles Willeford
Cover art by Paul Mann
AN UNFORGIVABLE CRIME.
AN UNFORGETTABLE NOVEL.
Why would a happily married Florida housewife pick up her husband’s .22
caliber Colt Woodsman semi-automatic pistol and use it to kill her two young
children and herself? Cynical newspaper reporter Richard Hudson is assigned
to find out—and the assignment will send him down a road of self-discovery
in this incisive, no-holds-barred portrait of American marriage in the Mad
Men era.
On the 30th anniversary of the death of the masterful novelist the Atlantic
Monthly called the "father of Miami crime fiction," Hard Case Crime is proud
to present Charles Willeford’s legendary lost novel, unavailable since its
original publication by a disreputable paperback house in 1961. One of Willeford’s
rarest titles (copies of the original edition sell for hundreds of dollars),
Understudy for Death still has the power to disturb, half a century after
its debut.
First publication in almost 60 years!
The creator of detective Hoke Moseley and author of books such as Miami
Blues and The Woman Chaser, Willeford is widely considered one of the finest
crime novelists of the 20th century
Several of Willeford’s novels have been turned into movies and TV shows,
most recently the FX pilot Hoke starring Paul Giamatti

CHARLESGATE CONFIDENTIAL
Scott Von Doviak
Cover art by Paul Mann
AN INGENIOUS DEBUT NOVEL
INSPIRED BY A REAL UNSOLVED CRIME!
1946: A group of criminals pulls off the heist of the century, stealing
a dozen priceless works of art from a Boston museum. Some of the thieves
are captured, some are killed—but the loot is never found.
Forty years later, a college student finds himself on the trail of the missing
art—and the multi-million-dollar reward.
But three decades after that, the art is still missing, and as his classmates
return to Boston’s notorious Charlesgate Hotel for their big 25th reunion,
dead bodies keep turning up. Will the stolen masterpieces be discovered at
last?
A breathtakingly clever, twist-filled narrative that moves from 1946 to
1986 to 2014 and back again—and is steeped in Boston lore, including three
unforgettable seasons of Red Sox baseball—CHARLESGATE CONFIDENTIAL establishes
Scott Von Doviak as a storyteller of the first order, and will leave you
guessing until the final page.
First publication ever!
Virtuoso first novel by film critic Scott Von Doviak unfolds in three separate
time periods: the 1940s, the 1980s, and the present day
Inspired by the unsolved real-life heist of priceless works of art from
the Gardner Museum in Boston

THE COUNT OF 9
Erle Stanley Gardner
Cover art by Robert McGinnis
A DOUBLE-LOCKED ROOM...
TWO STOLEN JADE IDOLS...
POISONED BLOWGUN DARTS FROM BORNEO...
—CAN EVEN COOL & LAM UNTANGLE THIS MYSTERY?
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, including the 29 cases of the brash, irresistible
detective team of Bertha Cool and Donald Lam. Gardner was also one of the
most ingenious plot-spinners in the field, coming up with stunning twists
and reveals—and THE COUNT OF 9 is Gardner at his twistiest.
Hired to protect the treasures of a globe-trotting adventurer, Bertha and
Donald confront an impossible crime: how could anything be smuggled out of
a dinner party when the guests were X-rayed coming and going—least of all
a 6-foot-long blowgun? But that’s nothing compared to the crime they face
next: an impossible 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 legendary paperback and movie poster illustrator

THE THING’S INCREDIBLE!
THE SECRET ORIGINS OF WEIRD TALES
by John Locke
Now available in soft and hard cover editions!
The Thing’s Incredible! is a sweeping revisionist history of the
founding of Weird Tales, one of the most influential and entertaining pulp
magazines of them all.
Its first two years (1923-24) was a period of tumult and controversy unequalled
in the pulps, before or since, an experience so painful to its creators that
they immediately banished their memories to secrecy, their code of silence
suppressing the story for almost a century. Here at last is the true saga,
the unraveling of the many twisted threads which have bound the creation
of Weird Tales in mystery.
Who were Henneberger and Lansinger, the co-founders, and what circuitous
chain of events brought about their doomed destiny?
How did the first editor, the outspoken and uncontrollable Edwin Baird,
become the wild man of the pulps?
What dark secrets lay buried in second editor Farnsworth Wright’s haunted
past that he never dared speak of?
What was the significance of the constantly mutating “reorganization” that
united two legends, world-famous magician Houdini and horror author H.P.
Lovecraft, into a grand nexus of weird?
How did Henneberger lose control of his slow-motion disaster of a magazine?
And how did an all-out war behind the scenes lead to the long peace of the
Wright years?
This is the grand story of the challenges in establishing a radical, new
magazine in the early 1920s—and not just any magazine, but the immortal Weird
Tales.
John Locke is a leading historian of the pulps who has written on magazines
famous and obscure. He is co-author (with Doug Ellis and John Gunnison) of
the pioneering Adventure House Guide to the Pulps. His writers’ mag series
(Pulp Fictioneers, Pulpwood Days) explores the history of the pulps through
the experiences of the participants in the industry. He applied the same
approach to Weird Tales and discovered a story stranger—and thornier—than
he ever imagined.

Pierre V. Comtois - Four
new titles now available!
Talismanic by Pierre V. Comtois
Glenn Springer could hardly believe his good luck. After moving to
Maine to escape the Boston rat race, he bought a farm, was successful, and
became the envy of his neighbors. Then, he fell in love with the beautiful
and bewitching Grizelle Beaumarchais. Was his good fortune all due to a locket
he found inside the walls of his old farmhouse? And why was Grizelle so interested
in it? Could it have anything to do with her being descended from an Indian
shaman? Why were there things about herself that Grizelle wasn't telling
him? Was his love for her genuine or was he being subtly manipulated? His
luck, it seemed, had its price, and as Glenn began to realize, the bill was
coming due.

Different Futures: A Collection of Science Fiction Fables
by Pierre V. Comtois
In this second volume of science fiction stories by Pierre V. Comtois,
the author once more visits Different Futures, but this time ones that are
often less optimistic as those in The Way the Future Was. Whereas that previous
volume reflected a view of the future that was bright and hopeful and filled
with youthful visions of bubble domed cities, moving slidewalks, regular
space travel service between the planets, and personal jet packs, the current
volume contains stories that are darker, presenting a warning of Different
Futures that could be ours should we succumb to many present day ills more
reminiscent of George Orwell than Jules Verne. That said, the future need
not be all doom and gloom. There may be bright spots too whether on the ocean
floor or the barren deserts of Mars. To find out which you think is the most
likely, follow the author as he explores alien worlds as well as the possible
consequences of technological and societal trends that will surely determine
our Different Futures... Pierre V. Comtois has been the editor and publisher
of Fungi, the Magazine of Fantasy and Weird Fiction since 1984 and has had
a number of books released by numerous publishers including Goat Mother and
Others by Chaosium Fiction in 2015, A Well Ordered Universe by Desert Breeze
Publishers in 2016, and three volumes dealing with Marvel Comics including
Marvel Comics in the 1980s: An Issue by Issue Field Guide to a Pop Culture
Phenomenon, Marvel Comics in the 1970s, and Marvel Comics in the 1980s by
Twomorrows Pubs in 2015. More recent releases include Scheduled for Extinction,
a science fiction novel from Desert Breeze and Talismanic, a horror novel
from Rogue Phoenix Press. Comtois has contributed fiction to many small press
magazines over the years including various Chaosium Books anthologies. The
author has also written a number of other books including novels such as
Strange Company and Sometimes a Warm Rain Falls; non-fiction such as Our
Lives, Our Fortunes, Our Sacred Honor; and short story collections such as
The Way the Future Was and The Portable Pierre V. Comtois. Comtois has also
found the time to contribute non-fiction articles to such magazines as World
War II, America’s Civil War, Wild West, and Military History, many of which
were collected in Hazardous History.
Paperback: 324 pages
Product Dimensions: 6 x 0.8 x 9 inches

Fantastic Cinema in the Years Before CGI by Pierre V.
Comtois
For nearly 100 years, spanning the greater part of cinema history,
filmmakers had to make do without the aid of digitization: computer guided
cameras, editing, enhanced coloring and tone, and especially for films of
the fantastic, computer generated imagery or CGI. In a relatively short time,
CGI special effects have come to completely dominate fantastic films eclipsing
the “hands on” FX once created by experienced craftsmen. So ubiquitous has
CGI become that the process threatens to overwhelm even storytelling to become
an end in itself.
Fantastic Cinema in the Years Before CGI is an attempt not only to celebrate
those films mostly untainted by the process, but a reaffirmation of movie
makers mostly of the previous century, who strived to make their films of
the fantastic about something more than FX. Because special effects were
often difficult and expensive to create, producers, directors, writers, and
actors had work harder at making their stories more believable, their characters
more interesting, and most importantly, their ideas more compelling. Elements
increasingly lacking in CGI dominated films of the modern era. So dive into
this compendium of pre-computer age films, the golden age of fantastic cinema,
and find out what you've been missing!

Autumnal Tales by Pierre V. Comtois
The Best Weird and Supernatural Fiction of Pierre V. Comtois!
Love to read stories about slithering horrors, creatures that rise from
ancient dust or gurgle through slimy ocean bottoms, or things that just go
bump in the night? Then look no farther than this collection of weird, strange,
and often bone chilling tales from author Pierre V. Comtois! Culled from
a career that spans over three decades, stories in this autumnal collection
reflect the full range of Comtois’ output spanning his years toiling in the
small press vineyard, mass market anthologies, and Fungi, his own legendary
magazine of fantasy and supernatural fiction. Here you will encounter tales
of love gone wrong, evils that transcend time, demonic pets, mythic visitations,
family secrets, and even a wayward vampire.
But hold on, there’s more! To enhance the reading experience, this special
edition of Autumnal Tales will also feature interior illustrations by a pair
of modern fantasy literature’s most able artists: Gregorio Montejo and Christopher
G. Porter!
So, if you’re a connoisseur of sang froid or simply a fan of contes cruel,
come aboard this literary Dutchman, if you dare, and set sail across haunted
seas with tales designed to freeze the blood and chill the soul! Pierre V.
Comtois has been the editor and publisher of Fungi, the Magazine of Fantasy
and Weird Fiction since 1984 and has had a number of books released by numerous
publishers including Goat Mother and Others by Chaosium Fiction in 2015,
A Well Ordered Universe by Desert Breeze Publishers in 2016, and three volumes

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry,
Pennsylvania
Guest of Honor — Joe Lansdale
Thursday, July 26 through
Sunday, July 29, 2018
Are you thinking
about attending PulpFest 2018?
You’re probably wondering what to expect from this year’s convention.
PulpFest is known for its great programming and the line-up that we’re planning
for next year’s convention is shaping up to be one of our best.
2018 marks the centennial of the armistice that ended the First World War.
Also called “The War to End All Wars” and “The Great War,” PulpFest — The
Great Convention — will be honoring the 100th anniversary
of the war’s end by focusing on the so-called “war pulps” of the early
twentieth century and the depiction of war in popular culture.
We’ll explore the work of Leonard H. Nason — who wrote about soldiers and
war for ADVENTURE and other magazines —
and have presentations on artistic interpretations of war in comic books,
pulps, and men’s adventure magazines.
Author and anthologist Don Hutchison will moderate a panel on “Fighting
Aces of War Skies: The Pulps Take Flight” and
Henry G. Franke, III — the editor of THE BURROUGHS BULLETIN — will
discuss “Edgar Rice Burroughs and The Great War.”
Also, Robert Gould will talk about his father — John Fleming Gould — the
interior artist who illustrated every issue of G-8 AND HIS BATTLE ACES.
We’ll also be celebrating the century mark of Grand Master of Science Fiction
Philip José Farmer.
PulpFest and its associated convention — FarmerCon — will be saluting the
acclaimed author of such works as ESCAPE FROM LOKI, THE DARK HEART OF TIME,
the classic Riverworld series, and more.
Join us for panels and presentations on “World Building and Writing in the
Nine Continuity,” “The Dark Heart of Loki: Philip José Farmer Revisits
1918,” and the life and legacy of Philip José Farmer.
We’ll also be showing the French documentary MOI, TARZAN, featuring Farmer,
George McWhorter, and Francis Lacassin.
And don’t forget about our Guest of Honor — Joe Lansdale — the author of
over forty novels and numerous short stories.
Winner of the Edgar Award, ten Bram Stoker Awards, the Horror Writers Association
Lifetime Achievement Award,
the British Fantasy Award, the Inkpot Award for Contributions to Science
Fiction and Fantasy, and many other awards,
Joe will be talking with Tony Davis — editor emeritus of THE PULPSTER and
winner of the 1999 Lamont Award — on Saturday evening, July 28, in the PulpFest
programming room.
Mr. Lansdale will also be available at other times during the convention.

The Spider #66 Audiobook
The Silver Death Rain
by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Now available!
An epidemic of strange and sudden death had placed New York in the
ruthless grip of an Underworld master such as the world had never seen. The
Law was powerless against this nighttime Nemesis. But Richard Wentworth,
as the Spider, had one more blow to strike before surrendering a shuddering
city to the powers of hell!
The Spider starred in his own pulp magazine for a wild decade from 1933
to 1943. Seeing rival pulp house Street & Smith breaking sales records
with The Shadow Magazine, Popular Publications president Harry Steeger decided
to clone him. Legend has it that he was playing tennis and spotted a spider
walking across the court. That gave him a catchy yet creepy title. He hired
mystery novelist and occultist R. T. M. Scott to write The Spider Strikes!
and a sequel, The Wheel of Death. Mysteriously, Scott bowed out of the picture
around the time of the first issue, dated October, 1933.

|
Enter Norvell W. Page, a practitioner of the Edgar Allen Poe tradition in
pulps. Writing under the pseudonym of Grant Stockbridge, He remade the Spider
into his own psychic twin, often dressing up as the Master of Men when delivering
his monthly manuscripts. In a letter to a Spider fan, Page wrote, “Think
of me as Wentworth, if you will. The line between us is not too distinct.”
A deeply religious man, Norvell W. Page began infusing his latter Spider
stories with undercurrents of a strange spiritual quest. A Tibetan monk became
a recurring character, issuing prophecies. Psychic phenomenon became a constant
theme. Jesus was often evoked.
Nick Santa Maria breathes life into the Spider in The Silver Death Rain.
Originally published in The Spider magazine, March, 1939.

". . . Shiver When the Cold Wind Blows." - Now available!
by John M. Whalen
Richard Squires, a Gulf War vet with shattered nerves and a drinking

was as a mechanic repairing school buses in the local elementary school.
When one of the buses stalls and is hit by a train, killing 28 children and
the driver, the town's attention turns to Richard. Was the accident his fault?
Pressure builds on Richard and he hides from the press in his trailer deep
in the Pines of Georgia, while outside in the moonlight he hears the voices
of 28 children singing. . . .

The Robert E. Howard Guide by Patrice Louinet
Now available!
Presenting the English translation
of the award-winning book that introduced a new generation of French fans
to the father of sword and sorcery. The Robert E. Howard Guide was born out
of years of scholarship, but took its final form after answering the same
questions from fans over and over again. In many ways, Howard remains a “famous
unknown writer, "the man who single handedly defined modern fantasy, but
whose life and works are still known mostly filtered through adaptations,
pastiches and gross approximations. Because of those specificities, he is
more often than not known for what and who he wasn’t, for sentences he never
wrote, or for characters who bear little resemblance—if any—to his original
creations. This, in turn, explains how and why this book was conceived. It
is sometimes amusing, sometimes sarcastic, but, built on 30 years of Howard
scholarship, it is always insightful. A serious work... that tries not to
take itself too seriously.
Paperback: 204 pages
Publisher: Skelos Press
Product Dimensions: 15.2 x 1.2 x 22.9 cm
$14.95
