Captain Philip Strange: Strange
Squadrons (Volume 7)
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. From his very first adventure, Captain Philip Strange has rooted out
only the most bizarre battalions commissioned by Germany in the Great War.
When flying coffins circle the air, or severed hands drop from the sky, the
call goes out for the Phantom Ace of G-2 Intelligence. For the Allies know
that only the so-called “Brain-Devil” and his aides can out-fly the zombie
traitors and human bombs, or out-spy fiends like The Mask and the Man with
the Iron Claw! 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:
■“A Squadron Will Perish,” – Flying Aces, August 1931
■“Port of Missing Pilots,” – Flying Aces, March 1932
■“The Fokker Fiend,” – Flying Aces, May 1932
■“The Midnight Ace,” – Flying Aces, June 1934

The Jailbird Flight: The Devil Flies High (Volume 2)
They had all been sentenced to a living death and all bore The Convict
Brand! The Jailbirds were recruited from the military prisons of Britain,
France, and America. Real men, molded in the harsh fires of life, dishonored
perhaps in the eyes of the Army— but men with red blood and courage. Hard
fighters, some of them hiding bitter memories, but all of them ready to follow
their leader, “Killer” Kirby, down a flaming suicide trail on the most dangerous
missions of the Great War! Rather than wither behind bars—they were given
the chance to die fighting!
This is the second of two exciting volumes of the collected adventures Donald
E. Keyhoe’s Jailbird Flight stories that ran through all three of Popular
Publication’s air anthology titles. Starting in Battle Aces in September
1931 running through the end of it’s initial publication run when they switched
to Battle Birds at the end of 1932 and into Dare-Devil Aces in 1934.
In August of 1931, Donald E. Keyhoe started three long-lived series in three
different aviation magazines: Philip Strange in Flying Aces; The Devil Dog
Squadron in Sky Birds; and The Jailbird Flight in Battle Aces. This volume
features the first seven Jailbird adventures published by Popular Publications
in 1931 and ‘32. A former U.S. Marine pilot, Keyhoe was a prolific contributor
to the pulp magazines, but he is perhaps best remembered for his UFO research
in the Fifties and Sixties.
Stories include:
■“The Jailbird Patrol” – Battle Birds, December 1932
■“The Cyclone Patrol” – Dare-Devil Aces, February 1933
■“The Red Lightning Ace” – Dare-Devil Aces, July 1933
■“The Hooded Ace” – Dare-Devil Aces, February 1934
■“The Skeleton Ace” – Dare-Devil Aces, November 1934

too late—and grimly Dusty and his battle eagles take up the trail, follow
it across the Atlantic into enemy skies! An Amazing account of the next great

If Death Is Respectable: The Collected Hard-Boiled Stories
of Race Williams, Volume 4
by Carroll John Daly; introduction by Brooks E. Hefner, cover photograph
by Mark Krajnak
Race Williams returns! Originally appearing in the pages of Black Mask Magazine,
author Carroll John Daly pioneered the hard-boiled detective P.I. story and
perfected the genre with his classic character, Race Williams. Apart from
the novel-length Race Williams stories, these classic hard-boiled thrillers
have rarely been reprinted, if ever.
Volume 4 contains the next batch of Race Williams stories, all from 1932–34
as the door closed on Daly’s long run in Black Mask. Included here are the
novels The Amateur Murderer and Murder From the East.
This collection also includes several Race Williams novelettes including
“Merger With Death,” “If Death Is Respectable,” “Murder in the Open,” and
“The Eyes Have It.” And it’s prefaced by an all-new, scholarly introduction
by Professor Brooks E. Hefner of James Madison University.

spanning Africa, the Middle East, and Armenia in the early years of the 20th

against Turkish genocide. This is the first book publication of this entire
saga from the original magazine serialization, and includes an introduction
by Mundy biographer Brian Taves explaining the genesis and impact of the
stories. 614 oversized pages.

1
by H. Bedford-Jones
When importer Allen Tredger learned his long-assumed-dead brother may still
be alive in Port Said, it triggered the beginning of a high-seas adventure,
taking him on a quest though Africa, Turkey, and Mecca, encountering fanatics
and secret societies along the way. And just what connection does John Solomon
have with Tredger’s quest? And how does the Cockney’s silver ring tie into
the mystery? Begin the story of John Solomon, author H. Bedford-Jones’ longest-running
series character, with this inaugural book in the series.

Swordflame
by H. Bedford-Jones
Early in the eighteenth century, one of the rising young men of New France
was Rupert Callan (or, as he was better known by the Iroquois-given name,
Swordflame). Irishman, Jacobite, and portionless gentleman, he had at once
won the regard of those daring adventurers of the Canadas, the Le Moyne brothers.
Swordfame is one of the earliest novels written by “the King of the Pulps,”
H. Bedford-Jones, for the pages of The All-Story Magazine.

Sleepy Sandoval County is where you’ll find Joe Trimble: drunken towney
ex-newspaper publisher, currently out of work for the duration the World

himself in the midst of German spies, lost goldmines, badlands rustling,
and even the disappearance of his own brother!

The Life of Pinky Jenkins, Volume 2
by H. Bedford-Jones
One of the best series ever published in the pulps was written by the prolific
H. Bedford-Jones, author of hundreds of stories totaling an estimated 25
millions words. Thomas Jasper “Pinky” Jenkins, a drunk and corrupt sheriff
accompanied by his deputy Parker, shot his way through nearly a score of
comedy/Western stories from the 1920s. Volume 2 includes the next two Jenkins
stories: “Pinky Jenkins, Sheriff” and “T.J. Jenkins, Diplomat.” The Pinky
Jenkins series is considered one of his best by Bedford-Jones aficionados.

Drums of Dambala
by H. Bedford-Jones
As Paul O’Donnell stood by the rail of the ship that had brought him to
Haiti, the tiny rowboat putting him out from the shore was already carrying
the first hints of the danger and tragedy lying in wait for him. Five minutes
after landing he was enmeshed in a frightful web of political intrigue, fomented
by voodoo fanaticism and unscrupulous ambition, led by the hatred and ferocity
of a beautiful and diabolic woman, and roused to bloody action by the throbbing,
jungle rhythm of the drums of Dambala, the voodoo Snake-God.
$29.95 hardcover | $14.95 softcover
The Beginning of Air Mail
by H. Bedford-Jones
During the Siege of Paris in 1870, at the height of the Franco-Prussian
War, a group of airmen battled Prussian forces in war-torn France. Led by
Giraud: everyone in the service knew Giraud, the Early Bird, the best test
pilot going. Born a Frenchman, Giraud was one of the Grand Old Men of the
air: an Early Bird, a magnificent training and test pilot. He had positively
forgotten more about the air than the rest knew.
The Beginning of Air Mail is a previously-unreprinted historical saga from
the pen of “the King of the Pulps,” H. Bedford-Jones, who authored 25 million
words of fiction over his career.

by Anthony M. Rud, illustrated by Robert A. Graef
Though author Anthony M. Rud made his mark as one of the scribes to appear
in the first issue of Weird Tales, and soon after, as a long-time editor

mysteries which sometimes drifted into the realm of the supernatural in the
pages of The Green Book magazine. For the first time, Rud’s initial eight
Masters stories are collected, along with the original illustrations by the
incomparable Robert A. Graef.

yarns, author Theodore Roscoe wrote another, little-known, long-running series:
the adventures of curio hunter Peter Scarlet and Bradshaw, the naturalist.

The Darkness at Windon Manor (The Argosy Library)
by Max Brand, introduction by William F. Nolan
Something natural—or supernatural—enters the soul of Andrew Creel, a commonplace
young man, and drives him into a swift game where death is a probability
on the one side and love only a possibility on the other. Creel plays it
to the end: an end unlike the end that seemed so sure when dusk fell on the
garden of that charming mansion with its sinister residents. Author Max Brand
graced the pages of Argosy with this tale of mistaken identity, a femme fatale,
and a haul of stolen jewels in a never-before reprinted story, along with
an all-new introduction by Brand historian William F. Nolan (Logan’s Run).

The Golden Cat: The Adventures of Peter the Brazen, Volume
2 (The Argosy Library)
by George F. Worts, writing as Loring Brent
Peter Moore is back! In this next story in the series, Jonathan Driggs,
journeying in search of his love, Gloria Dale, has learned that she was become
the mistress of Fong-Chi-Ah, fiend of all Asia. At the same time, the Golden
Cat—a symbol of the long-absent Queen Shari—has been stolen. Elsewhere in
China, wireless operator Peter Moore receives a message from a “Gloria Dale:”
a mysterious woman seemingly kidnapped, and wearing a Golden Cat around her
neck….
Written by long-time Argosy author George F. Worts under his primary pen-name,
Peter the Brazen made a marked impression on Argosy reader Lester Dent when
he co-created Doc Savage. The saga of Peter the Brazen is amongst the best
adventure series in the history of pulp fiction.

The Apes of Devil’s Island (The Argosy Library)
by John Cunningham
When Jimmy Wendell takes a yachting trip with some friends, he never expected
to become involved in an attempted murder of the crew and the ship’s destruction
on a reef. Making it to a small, shark-encircled island, Wendell will soon
learn of the Apes of Devil’s Island. Argosy often revisited the themes from
their most popular stories, and this is no different: author John Cunningham
pens a tale of high adventure that has been forgotten for too long.

Scourge of the underworld, “that damned dude dick”—Beau Quicksilver was

this detective solved seven separate cases in the pages of Argosy magazine,
published in consecutive issues.
Author Florence M. Pettee’s work appeared in several of the top pulp magazines
of the 1920s, including Black Mask, and her quirky characters known for their
offbeat gimmicks and situations… not to mention her distinctive prose. Often
written about—but never reprinted—the exploits of Beau Quicksilver belong
in The Argosy Library.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Final Weekend!
The Super Sale continues through December
10!
Okay, I've finally caught on that Sanctum Books' dachshund mascot has been
running a Half-Price Sale behind my back. However, Scout informs me that
he hasn't spent all his ill-gotten gains on squeaky toys and has actually
gotten his master a really nice Christmas present. So I've given Scout permission
to run his Super Sale for just two more weeks, through DECEMBER 10, 2018.
In addition, I'm expanding it slightly; in case you already have a few of
the earlier volumes, you can choose ANY 28 volumes from the DOC SAVAGE #1-36
classic editions, or 28 volumes from THE SHADOW #1-28 and 30-37 (#29 is sold
out). Again, you have only two more weeks to purchase these books at the

you order two bundles together! Send checks or money orders to "Sanctum Books;
P.O. Box 761474; San Antonio, TX 78245-1474" or Paypal to <orders@shadowsanctum.com>.
Hi, I’m Scout … official canine mascot of Sanctum Books. My master has been
so busy making Sanctum Books the best possible pulp reprints that he hasn’t
had much time for me lately … and he hasn’t even bought me any new dog toys
all year! What’s a dachshund to do? Well, it’s obvious that I’m going to
have to buy my own squeaky toys (which I can do online, since on the internet
no one knows you’re a dog). However, to afford new toys, I have to raise
some quick cash so I’m offering my master’s earliest Sanctum Books volumes
at the lowest price ever … HALF OFF list price in special collectors bundles!
For a limited time, you can order the first 28 double-novel volumes of DOC
SAVAGE or THE SHADOW for only $181.30 (plus $13.70 shipping within the USA
= TOTAL: $195.00). That’s less than $6.48 per book, or just $3.24 per novel
with all the original illustrations. I’m also offering a special SANCTUM
SAMPLER bundle that includes all 12 volumes of THE AVENGER (reprinting all
30 original Avenger pulp novels and short stories), CAP FURY #1, NICK CARTER

Ave • atque • Vale : Reminiscences of H. P. Lovecraft
- Expected release date December
1!
Pre-orders are being accepted.
H. P. Lovecraft was one of the most beloved individuals of his era,
and many friends, colleagues, and correspondents wrote memoirs of their association
with him. This volume, one of the most exhaustive collection of Lovecraft
memoirs ever published, gathers together some of the best-known accounts
of Lovecraft the man and writer, including W. Paul Cook’s classic In Memoriam:
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1941) and Sonia H. Davis’s The Private Life of
H. P. Lovecraft, a moving discussion of her marriage to the Providence writer.
Members of the celebrated Kalem Club (Frank Belknap Long, Rheinhart Kleiner,
Samuel Loveman, James F. Morton) add their assessments, while such neighbors
as Harold W. Munro (Lovecraft’s classmate at Hope Street High School), Clara
Hess, and Muriel Eddy offer unique glimpses of Lovecraft’s life in Providence.
As Lovecraft became a titan in the world of pulp fiction, such colleagues
as Donald Wandrei, E. Hoffmann Price, and H. Warner Munn recounted their
recollections. Late in life, Lovecraft became a mentor for a cadre of young
fans and writers who were spearheading the fantasy fandom movement, and many
of them—R. H. Barlow, Fritz Leiber, Robert Bloch, Kenneth Sterling, and others—told
of their memories of the dreamer from Providence.
Ave atque Vale has been meticulously edited by S. T. Joshi and David E.
Schultz, two of the leading authorities on Lovecraft. They have supplied
biographical information on the various authors and annotated each essay
thoroughly to explain obscure references and to correct errors. This book
will be an invaluable contribution to the study of H. P. Lovecraft.

This volume includes three tales by Catherine Bernard (1662-1712),
one of the originators of contes de fées, that deliberately subvert
not merely their narrative strategy, but also their entire mythology; two
enigmatic allegories of French history as seen through the prism of faerie
by Jean de Préchac (1647-1720); four stories by François Fénelon
(1651-1715), and The Illustrious Fays, a collection of tales by Chevalier
de Mailly (1657-1724), which shows how the contes de fées quickly
became suited to very different narrative purposes.
The variety embraced by these stories is a striking illustration of the
versatility of a format that seemed, at first, to be rather narrow. If some
of stories seem more stereotyped and less ambitious, the spectrum they display
is not lacking in color and variety, and the more flamboyant of them make
significant additions to the imagery assembled by the core writers of the
original school.

FUNESTINE & OTHER ADVENTURES IN ROMANCIA
edited, introduced & adapted by Brian Stableford
stories by Guillaume-Hyacinthe Bougéant, Pierre-François Godard
de Beauchamps and Catherine de Lintot.
cover by Mike Hoffman
The remarkable stories included in this volume, published in
the 1730s, show a marked evolution in the contes de fées, each being
more substantial, and more imaginatively innovative than its predecessor.
Although they clearly attempt to take up where Baronne d’Aulnoy and Comtesse
de Murat had been forced to leave off, in terms of their imaginative extravagance,
their use of metamorphoses and their quirky employment of allegory exhibit
a further development in the direction of the calculatedly absurd and the
surreal.
These are not the only works of the period to extrapolate its licensed disorder
to the chaotic brink of surrealism, but they do so more self-consciously
than most. The stories gathered herein provide an intriguing kaleidoscopic
pattern, and can justly be reckoned to be more than the sum of their parts.
Contents:
Introduction
Three contes de fées (1735) attributed to Catherine de Lintot:
Timandre and Bleuette
Prince Sincere

Black Moon: The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin,
Volume Five - Coming March 5!
by Seabury Quinn
Advance look at the cover!
The concluding volume in a series collecting
the stories of Jules de Grandin, the supernatural detective made famous in
the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales.
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 over half of Weird Tales’s original
publication run. His most famous character, the French supernatural 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.
Available for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules
de Grandin collects 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 fifth volume, Black Moon, includes all the stories from “Suicide Chapel”
(1938) to “The Ring of Bastet” (1951), as well as an introduction by George
Vanderburgh and Robert Weinberg and a foreword by Stephen Jones.
Hardcover: 512 pages
Publisher: Night Shade
Product Dimensions: 6 x 9 inches
$34.99
A new series of Jules de Grandin cover art by Donato Giancola

/ Murania Press
Now shipping!
From the dawn of the sound era through the mid-1950s, action-loving
moviegoers patronized their local picture palaces every week to see the latest
thrill-packed episodes of their favorite chapter plays. And while they were
primarily drawn to the intrepid heroes who battled dastardly villains in
pursuit of lost treasures or secret formulas, they also paid close attention
to the distressed damsels in constant need of rescue. Of course, not every
woman in serials required saving; a few were pro-active partners in peril,
willing and eager to mix it up with brutish heavies whenever the occasion
demanded. But all of them were sweetly sexy, even if they rarely got the
chance to show off their charms.
In this book serial historian Ed Hulse has gathered more than a hundred
rare photos showing the serial queens at their sexiest and most provocative.
Some are clad in swimsuits, others in negligées, still others in their
skivvies. You’ll see the most familiar—Kay Aldridge, Frances Gifford, Noel
Neill, Jean Rogers, Linda Stirling—as well as the obscure actresses who appeared
in only a single chapter play. Hulse provides informative captions summarizing
the careers of these cliffhanging cuties of yesteryear.

In addition to being the most profitable chapter play in the 20-year-history
of Republic Pictures—generating more than $1.1 million in worldwide revenue—THE
LONE RANGER (1938) set new standards of excellence for motion pictures adapted
from other media. It was a genuine phenomenon, securing bookings from major
theater circuits and big-city picture palaces at the time when serials played
mostly during Saturday matinees in small-town movie houses. Along with their
success at box offices, both THE LONE RANGER and its 1939 sequel, THE LONE
RANGER RIDES AGAIN, exerted considerable influence on the evolution of this
beloved hero from American pop culture.
In this profusely illustrated monograph, film historian Ed Hulse presents
a comprehensive behind-the-scenes history of both serials' production. It
has been extensively researched from recently uncovered documents buried
deep in the files of George W. Trendle, the broadcasting magnate whose Detroit
radio station WXYZ was the Lone Ranger's birthplace and home for more than
two decades. Hulse has reviewed hundreds of pages—private letters, legal
correspondence, inter-office memos, studio production reports, even the original
1937 contract between Trendle and Republic—culling from them all pertinent
details relating to the production of both serials and the first's 1940 feature
version, HI-YO SILVER. To this material he has added information gleaned
from his own interviews of principal participants: co-director William Witney,
head writer Barry Shipman, stunt double Yakima Canutt, and cast members Herman
Brix, George Letz (Montgomery), and Sammy McKim.
The 94-page monograph sports dozens of illustrations: rare stills, posters,
advertisements, lobby cards, and magazine covers.
BEHIND THE MASK can be ordered at www.muraniapress.com.
The $12.50 price includes free shipping to buyers in the domestic United
States.
International buyers must inquire before ordering to get shipping costs

The saga of the Twilight Patrol continues — equal parts H.P. Lovecraft
and G-8 and His Battle Aces.
Beneath our feet, beneath this very spot, lies beauty beyond all comprehension.
This beauty lies in the form of seven cities. These seven cities are linked
in mysterious and secretive ways to one another, and the destiny of all mankind.
But the Mysteriarchs of the Abyss are preparing to destroy the seven cities.
The aftermath of destroying their consummate beauty will yield ultimate power
to the ultimate enemy, and throw the world into darkness. And the seven cities
that have lain for countless eons, safe from the corruptions of man, will
be no more.
To the world at large, The Twilight Patrol is a high-flying band of scrappy
patriots, ever alert for trouble and always willing to lend a hand. To the
sinister foes lurking behind the Axis horizon, they are a force to be reckoned
with in the onslaught against freedom. To their fans, The Twilight Patrol
is the bravest assortment of adventurers ever brought together to confront
the dark forces threatening our mortal realm.

A Griff and Fats crime novel
“First-rate hard-boiled
fiction. Mike Hammer probably crossed paths with Griff and Fats, who live
in the back alleys of Jim Thompson country.” — Booklist
Bay City, 1962 — a time of peace and trust, when girls hitch-hiked
without a care. But for an ice-hearted killer, it’s a time of easy pickings.
When he kills the daughter of a rich power-broker, all hell breaks loose,
and he goes on a crazy killing spree to cover his tracks. Then Griff and
Fats, two free-wheeling homicide detectives, begin hunting the monster who
tortures and kills, but time is running out. This police procedural novel
is a hardboiled roller-coaster of sex, violence, and suspense.
Hellbent on Homicide marks the beginning of Gary Lovisi's chronicles
of Griff and Fats, two homicide detectives who often cross the line bringing
killers to justice.

The Complete Adventures
of Jimmie Dale: Volume One
An Annotated Compilation of all five novels of the Gray Seal and
the Tocsin (Volume 1)
By Frank L. Packard (Author), Michael Howard (Editor)
Now
available!
In 1914 a character appeared who would permanently transform popular fiction.
Frank Packard's Gray Seal melded elements from A. J. Raffles, Jimmy Valentine,
the Scarlet Pimpernel, and Arsène Lupin, but those traits were combined
with an entirely new concept: the gifted young man who conceals his identity
behind a mask to fight crime in the big city.
It had never been done before and it's never stopped being done since. Jimmie
Dale, the high society millionaire behind the Gray Seal persona, helped to
launch the hero pulp boom of the 1930s and was a direct influence on the
Green Hornet, the Spider, the Phantom, and especially The Shadow. The Gray
Seal template was adopted by the comic book industry as well, and well into
the Twenty-first Century continues to appear there, on television, and in
the movies.
And now, for the first time ever the complete Jimmie Dale saga is being
reprinted in a set of authoritative editions.
The personal papers of Gray Seal creator Frank Packard have been consulted
for this project, along with various unpublished works of fiction by him
that add further insight to the series.
Also, a detailed chronology has been established for the novels so they
can be considered in their proper historical setting.
The definitive Gray Seal collection is finally here, beginning with the
novel that forever changed adventure fiction - and the larger world of popular
entertainment.
Paperback: 381 pages
Product Dimensions: 6 x 9 inches
$17.99
This
is the first of three volumes.
Volume 2 is anticipated in late 2019.
There is no eBook edition at this time.
The plan is to wait until all three volumes in the reprint series are completed
in trade paperback editions, then combine them into a single eBook edition.

Red Sonja for a multipart adventure. Last, but far from least, we present
Roy Thomas and Gil Kane's never-before-reprinted GIANT-SIZE adaptation of

New on Famous (and forgotten) Fiction!
November 2018
Baroness Orczy has not made an appearance on our pages in some time,
and this month we remedy that problem with an historical romance, “The Revenge of Ur-Tasen,” pretty close to how it appeared
in the June, 1900 issue of Pearson's Magazine, including the illustrations
by J. Ambrose Walton. Introduction is by Dan Neyer.
October 2018
Edmond Hamilton returns to our pages this month with "The Comet Doom" from the pages of the January, 1928
issue of Amazing Stories.
The Frank R. Paul illustration is included and hopefully readers will find
fascination with the parallels between this story and the Zoromes of Neil
R. Jones, something Bob Gay discusses in his introduction to the story.
September 2018
No fiction this month, but an extremely rare autobiographical sketch
of Neil R. Jones called (surprise!), "An Autobiographical Sketch of Neil R. Jones," reprinted
from the January, 1937 issue of Fantasy Magazine.
Bob Gay pens the introduction.
July 2018
Edmond Hamilton returns to our pages, with a tale of a deserted island
and evolution gone amok...it all comes together in "Evolution Island," a story from the March, 1927 issue
of Weird Tales with all the text, the title illustration and a newly written
introduction by Bob Gay.
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.

John, whose last name is never revealed, is a wandering singer who
carries a guitar strung with strings of pure silver. He is a veteran of the
Korean War and served in the U.S. Army as a sharpshooter (in the novel After
Dark, he mentions that his highest rank was PFC). In his travels, he frequently
encounters creatures and superstitions from the folk tales and superstitions
of the mountain people. Though John has no formal education, he is self-taught,
highly intelligent and widely read; it is implied that his knowledge of occult
and folk legendarium is of Ph.D level. This knowledge has granted him competent
use of white magic, which he has used on occasion to overcome enemies or
obstacles, but it is primarily his courage, wit and essential goodness that
always enables him to triumph over supernatural evils (although the silver
strings of his guitar and his possession of a copy of The Long Lost Friend
are also powerful tools in fighting evil magic), while basic Army training
allows him to physically deal with human foes.
The stories are rich in the customs and lore of the region and many of the
folk songs John sings are authentic as well. Wellman did introduce some original
songs and legends but his creations blend seamlessly with the traditional
material. Whereas Tolkien integrated Northern mythology into his mythos,
and C.S. Lewis the European Fairy Tales of yore, Wellman’s stories are drenched
in the folktales and songs of old Americana; the haunting stories of the
slaves and the tall tales of the Revolution, strange beasts, witch-women,
and dark apparitions. As famed author Karl Edward Wagner wrote: “These stories
are chilling and enchanting, magical and down-to-earth, full of wonder and
humanity. They are fun. They are like nothing else you’ve read before.”—Adapted

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.

BROTHERS KEEPERS
Donald E. Westlake
Cover art by Paul Mann
Read A Sample Chapter
"FORGIVE ME, FATHER, FOR I HAVE RENTED."
What will a group of monks do when their century-old monastery in New York
City is threatened with demolition to make room for a new high-rise? Anything
they have to. "Though Shalt Not Steal" is only the first of the Commandments
to be broken as the saintly face off against the unscrupulous over that most
sacred of relics, a Park Avenue address.
Returning to bookstores for the first time in three decades, BROTHERS KEEPERS
offers not only a master class in comedy from one of the most beloved mystery
writers of all time but also a surprisingly heartfelt meditation on loss,
temptation, and how we treat our fellow man.
First appearance in bookstores in 30 years!
Donald E. Westlake is a multiple Edgar Award winner—and a nominee for the
Academy Award!

A BLOODY BUSINESS
Dylan Struzan
Cover art by Drew Struzan
Read A Sample Chapter
"Dylan Struzan has delivered a soaring treat for those of us who
love mobster history, a sprawling saga drawn not from rumor or recycled myth,
but directly from the horse’s mouth. Her exploration of mob life and the
shadow empires the bootleggers built is an exhilarating rush, a must-read."
FRANK DARABONT, director of The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption
ON THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF PROHIBITION, LEARN WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
In 1919, the National Prohibition Act was passed, making it illegal across
America to produce, distribute, or sell liquor. With this act, the U.S. Congress
also created organized crime as we know it. Italian, Jewish, and Irish mobs
sprang up to supply the suddenly illegal commodity to the millions of people
still eager to drink it. Men like Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, Dutch Schultz
and Bugsy Siegel, Al Capone in Chicago and Nucky Johnson in Atlantic City,
waged a brutal war for power in the streets and on the waterfronts. But if
you think you already know this story...think again, since you’ve never seen
it through the eyes of one the mobsters who lived it.
Called "one of the most significant organized crime figures in the United
States" by the U.S. District Attorney, Vincent "Jimmy Blue Eyes" Alo was
just 15 years old when Prohibition became law. Over the next decade, Alo
would work side by side with Lansky and Luciano as they navigated the brutal
underworld of bootlegging, thievery and murder. Alo’s later career included
prison time and the ultimate Mob tribute: being immortalized as "Johnny Ola"
in The Godfather, Part II.
Introduced to the 91-year-old Alo living in retirement in Florida, Dylan
Struzan based this book on more than 50 hours of recorded testimony—stories
Alo had never shared, and that he forbid her to publish until "after I’m
gone." Alo died, peacefully, two months short of his 97th birthday. And now
his stories—bracing and violent, full of intrigue and betrayal, hunger and
hubris—can finally be told.
First publication ever!
At nearly 200,000 words, this is the longest book Hard Case Crime has ever
published, covering the entire 13 years of Prohibition, 1920-1933
With cover art and 24 interior illustrations by Drew Struzan, one of the
most acclaimed movie poster painters of all time

THE TRIUMPH OF THE SPIDER MONKEY
Joyce Carol Oates
Cover art by Robert McGinnis
Read A Sample Chapter
INSIDE THE MIND OF THE MANIAC
Abandoned as a baby in a bus station locker, shuttled from one abusive foster
home and detention center to another, Bobbie Gotteson grew up angry, hurting,
damaged. His hunger to succeed as a musician brought him across the country
to Hollywood, but along with it came his seething rage, his paranoid delusions,
and his capacity for acts of shocking violence.
Unavailable for 40 years, THE TRIUMPH OF THE SPIDER MONKEY is an eloquent,
terrifying, heartbreaking exploration of madness by one of the most acclaimed
authors of the past century. This definitive edition for the first time pairs
the original novel with a never-before-collected companion novella by Joyce
Carol Oates, unseen since its sole publication in a literary journal nearly
half a century ago, which examines the impact of Gotteson’s killing spree
on a woman who survived it, as seen through the eyes of the troubled young
man hired by a private detective to surveil her...
First publication in 40 years, and first publication ever with the lost
Joyce Carol Oates companion novella "Love, Careless Love," unseen anywhere
outside of a literary journal in 1974
Joyce Carol Oates is one of the most acclaimed authors of the past century,
a National Book Award winner and six-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize
Features a new cover painting by the legendary Robert McGinnis

The Spider #86 Audiobook
The Spider and His Hobo Army
by Norvile Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Now available!
Murder and destruction had
momentarily stupefied the nation. The zero hour had come. The vast and insidious
Order of the Double Cross was ready to blast America from the face of the
earth! Could Dick Wentworth, alias the Spider, wounded and at bay, crush
the minions of the Double Cross, with only a handful of ragged, tatter-demalion
hoboes who had rescued him and imbued him with a strange, new courage?
Norvell W. Page, a newspaperman and pulp author, was the primary architect
behind the Spider. 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.
|
|
He spoke often of the Spider’s motivations. “Yes, Richard Wentworth was
a murderer in the eyes of the law—a butcher who had slain a hundred, a thousand
of his fellow men. They took no account of the fact he killed only those
who richly deserved to die, that he alone had prevented a score of master
criminals from overwhelming the forces of law and order.
“Oh, there had been personal reasons behind his initial foray beyond the
law—a dear friend was being framed out of life and honor and home. And there
had been the example of his father, who had died when Wentworth was scarcely
in his teens, a great lawyer murdered by criminals because he had dared defy
them to save an innocent man they had made their scapegoat.”
In a letter to a Spider fan, Norvell W. Page wrote, “Think of me as Wentworth,
if you will. The line between us is not too distinct.”
Nick Santa Maria once again brings the Spider to life in The Spider and
His Hobo Army. Originally published in The Spider magazine, November, 1940.

A nameless mystery man with a wartime past, backed by a shadowy
group of powerful philanthropists, Secret Agent “X” took on the toughest
assignments of the dirty thirties. Operating out of the half-haunted Montgomery
Mansion, “X” was also known as the Man of a Thousand Faces. A past master
of disguise, he infiltrated the Underworld to crush crime in all of its hideous
manifestations.
From the very air itself came that strange and ghastly death. It seemed
to be everywhere, weaving a weird pattern of terror. Barricaded doors could
not keep it out. The brains and bullets of the law could not combat it. Only
one man fought to trace it to its horror home. And that man was Secret Agent
“X”. But Agent “X” was checkmated by the one he loved best.
|
|
The enigma of enigmas, Secret Agent “X” has been deputized by a high government
official to battle the darkest, most diabolical enemies of America before
they sink their poisonous fangs into the nation’s healthy core. Faceless
and unsung, “X” infiltrates these threats in a bewildering array of disguises.
Other characters prior to Secret Agent “X” crossed the line between crime
and weird horror. Paul Chadwick’s Wade Hammond is a character cast in the
Sam Spade hard boiled detective mold who confronted bouncing balls of electric
death and the like in every case. The Spider stands as another instance,
but the authors behind Secret Agent “X” truly brought the sub genre where
mystery meets menace into its own.
Follow the Man of a Thousand Faces as he confronts the menace of Subterranean
Scourge, ripped from the pages of Secret Agent “X” magazine, June 1936 and
read with chilling intensity by Milton Bagby.

Spring 1953
Now available!
Total Pulp Experience. These
exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading
as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of
the original pulp magazine.
Ki-Gor, son of the jungle! Orphaned son of missionary Robert Kilgour,
raised in the jungle, he grew to a six foot bronzed-skin giant who ruled
the jungles. Joined by Helen Vaughn, his fiance and later wife, Timbo George,
the Masai chief, and N'Geeso, the chief of a Pygmy tribe, this band of adventurers
roam the wilds of Africa in a series of pulp magazine stories that began

reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
Table of Contents:
A Great Book-length Ki-Gor Novel
The Silver Witch
by John Peter Drummond
“Fight me and you surely die,” the evil enchantress of the swamps warned
Ki-Gor, White Lord of the Jungle. And with a reckless laugh he met her challenge,
racing into battle against the bloodless, fleshless warriors of the immortal
Silver Witch.
Angel In The Jungle — Exciting Jungle Novelet
by Lawton Ford
Spenser Frost trekked the bush from the Cape to the blue Nile; from Mombasa
to Nigeria. But never had he seen the likes of this frail, young subaltern
fresh from Sandhurst who was scheduled to lead a rebellious safari to Thunder
Pass in the realm of the fierce, white-hating Amerrara. “Murder, pure murder,”
Frost breathed.
Spears Of Fire — Exciting Jungle Novelet
by Alexander Wallace
A fortune in black wood — for any man with skin tough enough to shed barbed
arrows; whose stomach could hold poisoned drink; whose heart was stout enough
to withstand the treacherous Amofti tree-spirits. A fortune in mahogany...
for Hardisty... if he lived long enough to take it.
Gorilla! Gorilla! — Short Story Of African Intrigue
by Anson Slaughter
The gorilla feeding grounds this hot Congo morning was strangely quiet and
tense. Before dusk, the troop knew, the envious, wild young bull, Sarto,
would challenge Kongnor, the great but aged silver-backed leader.
Ndembo! — Short Story Of African Intrigue
by M. E. Counselman
Kulonga’s “Ndembo Death” was indeed a superior miracle. But his resurrection
— the villagers feared — would shake the very foundation of all great jungle
juju.

VERSES FOR THE DEAD (Agent Pendergast) - Coming December 31, 2018!
by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
After an overhaul of leadership at the FBI's New York field office,
A. X. L. Pendergast is abruptly forced to accept an unthinkable condition
of continued employment: the famously rogue agent must now work with a partner.
Pendergast and his new teammate, junior agent Coldmoon, are assigned to
Miami Beach, where a rash of killings by a bloodthirsty psychopath are distinguished
by a confounding M.O.: cutting out the hearts of his victims and leaving
them-along with cryptic handwritten letters-at local gravestones, unconnected
save in one bizarre way: all belonged to women who committed suicide.
But the seeming lack of connection between the old suicides and the new
murders is soon the least of Pendergast's worries. Because as he digs deeper,
he realizes the brutal new crimes may be just the tip of the iceberg: a conspiracy
of death that reaches back decades.
