THE THREE MOSQUITOES:
THE X-GUN FLIGHT by Ralph Oppemheim
Through the dark night sky, streaking swiftly with their Hisso engines
thundering, is the greatest trio of aces on the Western Front—the famous and
inseparable “Three Mosquitoes,” the mightiest flying combination that had
ever blazed its way through overwhelming odds and laughed to tell of it!
At point was Captain Kirby, impetuous young leader of the great trio; on
his right was little Lieutenant “Shorty” Carn, the mild-eyed, corpulent little
Mosquito and lanky Lieutenant Travis, eldest and wisest of the Mosquitoes
on his left! Flying in a V formation through four exciting hell-bent tales
from the pages of Popular Publication’s Battle Aces.
Stories Include: The X-Gun Flight (Jan 32), The Iron Ace (Feb 32), The
Flying Dreadnought (Jun 32), The 20-Ace Patrol (Jul 32). All illustrated
by John Fleming Gould

Captain Philip Strange is back in eight more weird WWI stories spanning

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 and the verdamntBrain-Devil
by the Boche. Just when you thought there were no more ways to die in war,
the Germans come up with some even more gruesome ways! if you’re not just
being incinerated by the sun’s ray focused through enormous lenses, you’re
being gassed with a horribly disfiguring plague; drowned in a sea of blood
or injected with a serum that turns you into a hyped up fighting hellion
until you keel over dead; maybe you’ll be lucky and just have your own munitions
blow up your entire outfit, or simply have your head chopped off and mounted
on some psychotic ace’s wings. Thankfully, we have have Captain Philip Strange
on our side to stop them in eight of his strangest cases yet from the pages
of Flying Aces magazine!
Stories Include: The Code of K-14 (Feb 32), The Masked Marauders (Mar 33),

The Spider #14: Death's Crimson Juggernaut
By Norvell W. Page, writing as Grant Stockbridge
Hideous maniacal laughter shattered the dark silence
of ghostly tenements. Sleepy-eyed men and women, stumbling through the dim
halls of the building, found a sight that chilled their souls with terror.
On a blank wall, spikes driven through her, hands and feet, blood coursing
down her arms and breasts in tiny rivulets, a beautiful young woman was hanging,
crucified, dying. Still another victim of the Torture Trust! And while panic
spreads, while hundreds die victims of the Killers, the Spider is blinded,
his faithful servants imprisoned, his friends dishonored! How can Richard
Wentworth, desperate and alone, combat the powerful, well-organized Murder
Syndicate whose gun hirelings hunt him down like a vicious mad dog?

On sale for $12.95 until August 9.

swashbuckling crew. There’s gold at the end of this bloody trail and Satan
intends to have it!

Dime Detective, Max Brand, H. Bedford-Jones, and
the complete Scientific Club by Ray Cummings
headline a lineup of 14 new titles to see print this August.
Altus Press will have them in stock & available for order at
www.altuspress.com or
via Mike Chomko’s table at the Pulpfest 2019 Show in Pittsburgh, PA, on
August 15.
The list of titles includes:
The Complete
Tales of the Scientific Club (Deluxe Edition)
by Ray Cummings
introduction by Will Murray, illustrated by Joseph
A. Farren, F.M. Follett, Virgil Finlay, Roger B. Morrison,
Frank R. Paul, Norman Saunders, Amos Sewell, Modest Stein, Lawrence Sterne
Stevens, and Raymond Wardell
One of the most historically significant Twentieth Century science fiction
series ever published is at last collected. A pioneer in pulp science fiction,
Ray Cummings inspired an entirely-new fiction genre with his influential story
originally published in 1919, The Girl in the Golden Atom, which introduced
the world to a series of short stories and novels known as his “Matter, Space
and Time” range.
This suite of stories featured the Scientific Club: a group of New York-based
socialites of revolving membership who either recounted these tales of fantastic
science—or were directly involved in these tales which originally appeared
in the top magazines of the 1920s: All Story Weekly, Argosy, Detective Story
Magazine, Flynn’s, and Science and Invention, among others.
This collection assembles all of the Scientific Club stories, sourced directly
from their original magazine appearances… most of which have never before
been reprinted. In addition, this deluxe edition includes all of Cummings’
Scientific Club stories which appeared exclusively in the United Kingdom.
It also gathers the later Scientific Club stories from a brief revival in
the mid-1930s.
No stone has been left unturned for this edition: two hitherto-unknown
Scientific Club stories were discovered, and these have been included, along
with 26 other stories. And among the many bonus features is a rare, alternate,
early version of one of the Scientific Club stories.
Rounded out by vintage illustrations by Virgil Finlay, Frank R. Paul, Norman
Saunders, Amos Sewell, Modest Stein, and Lawrence Sterne Stevens, and with
an all-new introduction by Will Murray, The Complete Tales of the Scientific
Club is a book one hundred years in the making.

Dr. Yen
Sin: The Complete Series (Deluxe Edition)
by Donald E. Keyhoe
introduction by William Patrick Maynard, afterword by Rick Lai
One of the great villain pulps from the 1930s is finally available in a
complete, deluxe edition. Owing certain similarities to Sax Rohmer’s Fu Manchu,
the Dr. Yen Sin series of three novels features “The Invisible Emperor” and
his machinations to conquer the world using his unique mixture of futuristic
science and ancient Asian technology. However, Yen Sin has met his match:
“The Man Who Never Slept”—agent Michael Traile—who has the strange capability
of not require sleep.
Includes an all-new introduction by current Fu Manchu author William Patrick
Maynard, as well as a chronology of the character by Rick Lai.

The 7th
Day
by Frederick Faust
introduction by Andrew Salmon
illustrated by Charles LaSalle and Harold Wellington McCrea
Seven days to solve a murder! Tony Newcomen, a fiction writer, gets a call
from his friend and mentor, Thomas Decker. Decker believes his life is in
danger—but he’s unable to offer more information, as he is murdered while
on the phone! Determined to uncover his friend’s killer amidst the idle rich
and lavish estates of 1930s Florence, Newcomen will stop at nothing to bring
the guilty to justice. He must walk a razor’s edge as he digs deeper into
the case. The local police are out to get him, he’s in danger of losing his
heart to the prime suspect and the murderer is more than willing to add another
victim to end the investigation.
Out of print since its original magazine publication more than 80 years
ago, The 7th Day appears here in book form for the first time. Rich in atmosphere
and with an intriguing cast of characters, The 7th Day is Frederick Faust
at his nuanced best.
Also included is the short story, “Devil Dog,” which takes readers into
the frozen wasteland of Alaska for a harrowing, fast-paced tale of murder
and revenge in the fevered quest for gold.

A Seabold
Fights
by Frederick Faust
introduction by Andrew Salmon
illustrated by Ralph Pallen Coleman
The best steel goes through the fire: Joseph Seabold hates the family business.
But his aging cousin—running the Seabold Fruit Company—sees the young man
as his successor. To test his mettle, he sends Seabold south of the border
to the Republic of San Esteban where the company has a hand in the local politics
to keep the company running. But revolution is brewing: the Republic is a
powder keg about to explode! A naive mistake brands Seabold an enemy of the
state and he has no choice but to join the revolution to overthrow the government.
What follows is a roller-coaster ride of gritty battles, cold betrayals,
steamy romance and heartless double crosses as only Frederick Faust can deliver.
This riveting tale has never been reprinted and appears in book form for
the first time. Frederick Faust fans rejoice! This long neglected classic
is back for a new audience to devour. This is Faust at his best.

The Complete
Cases of Vee Brown, Volume 2 (The Dime Detective Library)
by Carroll John Daly
illustrated by John Fleming Gould
The creation of Carroll John Daly, father of the hard-boiled private eye,
Vee Brown—AKA the Crime Machine—plied his trade in the pages of Dime Detective,
the classic crime pulp that was second only to the legendary Black Mask in
its impact on the genre.
Vivian “Vee” Brown leads two lives. Delicate-looking and small in stature,
he lacks physical strength and endurance. But that doesn’t prevent him from
being an effective special operative to the Manhattan District Attorney. In
this capacity he often ignores the legal niceties of due process, shooting
first and asking questions later. Many citizens view him as a hair-trigger
gunman whose promiscuous killings make him little better than the vicious
criminals he hunts. In his other life, Brown lives in a luxurious Park Avenue
penthouse, paid for not with his modest civil-servant salary, but with the
royalties he earns as a phenomenally successful composer of sentimental songs—a
sideline he keeps secret. Both the police and the underworld refer to him
as a “Killer of Men.” But the denizens of Tin Pan Alley know him as “Master
of Melodies,” the prince of pop music.
Volume 2 features the Crime Machine’s battles with his greatest nemesis,
the Emperor of Evil.

The Complete
Cases of Bail-Bond Dodd, Volume 2 (The Dime Detective Library)
by Norbert Davis
illustrated by John Fleming Gould and Frank Kramer
Bailbondsman William “Bail-Bond” Dodd was the first series character that
hard-boiled genius Norbert Davis created for Harry Steeger’s best detective
pulp. Running for eight installments, Volume 2 collects the balance of the
series. This unique series was one of the best Davis ever wrote for the pages
of Dime Detective.

The Complete
Cases of Horatio Humberton, Volume 1 (The Dime Detective Library)
by J. Paul Suter
illustrated by John Fleming Gould
Meet the original necrologist sleuth: tall, gaunt Ho Humberton was a funeral
director by day and detective at night… often those with more than a touch
of the supernatural. Featuring the first half of this trend-setting detective
series, this was one of the most popular series characters from the pages
of Dime Detective. Also featuring the very first Horatio Humberton story,
undiscovered for nearly 100 years.

| 337 pages | $19.95 softcover | $29.95 hardcover
The Complete
Cases of the Arson Dick (The Dime Detective Library)
by Leslie T. White
illustrations by John Fleming Gould
Detective Todd Naughton of the central-office arson squad investigated
some of the strangest arson and murder cases ever to appear in Dime Detective
Magazine. Originally seeing print during the peak 1936–37 period of Dime Detective,
this four-story complete series has never before been reprinted.
6″x9″
| 230 pages | $19.95 softcover | $29.95 hardcover
The Complete
Cases of Anne Marsh (The Dime Detective Library)
by Arthur Leo Zagat
illustrated by Amos Sewell
Written during a period when the detective pulps showcased more gritty,
realistic characters and situations, writer Arthur Leo Zagat penned a series
of novelettes featuring the diminutive Anne Marsh, reluctant detective who
must solve the death of her father and wage grim war in behalf of the city’s
oppressed. Running for eight installments, this unique series was one of the
few purposefully finite series from the pulp era, and one of the only female
detective series characters to see print in a Popular Publications-published
title.
6″x9″
| 298 pages | $19.95 softcover | $29.95 hardcover
The Complete
Cases of the Blue Barrel, Volume 1 (The Dime Detective Library)
by William E. Barrett
illustrated by John Fleming Gould
Written at the height of Dime Detective’s popularity, author William E.
Barrett (Lilies of the Field) penned this series featuring newspaperman Dean
Culver, whose column—The Blue Barrel—dispensed gossip on the criminal underworld.
No one called Dean Culver the Blue Barrel—for no one knew he was the author
of the underworld-gossip column signed with that name each night in the Morning
Star. If the easy-money players had ever guessed that the man who paid them
off was the Walter Winchell of the other side of the law, he’d he cashing
in his own checks at the first turn of the wheel, instead of those of the
gamblers he spun it for.

Spanning ancient Roman times, Normandy, medieval England and Germany, France,
and colonial America, and including appearances by Cleopatra, d’Artagnan,
and Cyrano de Bergerac, author H. Bedford-Jones details some of the most pivotable
moments in history in this interconnected 17-part historical epic. The World
Was Their Stage is one of the longest novels written by “the King of the

THE FANTASY FICTION OF HANNES BOK
New Kickstarter campaign is coming very soon!
THE FANTASY FICTION OF HANNES BOK Kickstarter will hopefully launch
withing the next week!
We're excited to bring acclaimed artist Hannes Bok's three solo fantasy
novels into hardcover for the first time!
Both THE SORCERER'S SHIP and BEYOND THE GOLDEN STAIR were previously published
as part of Ballantine Books' Adult Fantasy paperback line. His first novel-length
tale: STARSTONE WORLD, is a much shorter and darker piece, which has never
been reprinted since it appeared in Science Fiction Quarterly #7, [Summer
of 1942], over 75 years ago.
These aren't your conventional fantasies, although all the trappings are
there. His novels have a sly humor with plots containing unconventional twists
and turns; a strange metaphysical bent; and his artist's talent for glorious
description.
THE FANTASY FICTION OF HANNES BOK's cover art is a never-before-published
painting by Bok. A piece which mirrors the masculine, feminine, grotesque
and transcendent archetypes which populate the novels within.
We'll be including Ballantine Adult Fantasy editor Lin Carter's introductions
to THE SORCERER'S SHIP and BEYOND THE GOLDEN STAIR, plus an all-new introduction
detailing the history of THE SORCERER'S SHIP by Bok collector, Professor William
Lorenzo. Publisher, Robert T. Garcia will provide an introduction to STARSTONE
WORLD. And we've discovered a number of unpublished photos of Bok to add
to these intros as well.
Bok's pulp art for THE SORCERER'S SHIP is included, plus two paintings
specified by the artist as illustrating that novel: a color reprise of an
interior illustration and a color portrait of the creature Yanuk done for
a fan.

The Angel and the Sphinx (1897) is one of the most phantasmagorical and
intense Romantic and Symbolist novels on the themes of femmes fatales, reincarnation
and expiation. Penned by Edgar Schuré, the author of The Great Initiates
(1889), it appeals to fans of flamboyant fantasy fiction as well as connoisseurs
of Symbolist fiction.

HUMAN SEED
by André Couvreur
Adapted by Brian Stableford
cover by Mandy
André Couvreur’s Human Seed, (1903) was one of the most shocking
works of its era, one that attempted more fervently than any other to push
back the boundaries of the conventionally-unmentionable, such as contraception,
abortion and eugenics, illustrated through the lives of the eighteen children
of the Grignon family, afflicted by the ongoing social disasters of syphilis
and alcoholism.
It will seem to many contemporary readers to be a truly bizarre novel,
not so much in putting forward the argument that it does, but in shaping
the plot that illustrates and exemplifies said argument.
Human Seed is part of a series which includes The Necessary Evil and the
futuristic utopian fantasy Caresco, Superman, featuring the brilliant but
unscrupulous surgeon Caresco. Human Seed is a truly original work, and a crucial
element of a unique and spectacular whole.

THE
PURPLE EYE
By William Corcoran
Now shipping!
NOW AVAILABLE IN A REPACKAGED, LESS EXPENSIVE
EDITION
THE GROUNDBREAKING 1933 NOVEL THAT LIKELY INSPIRED MANY OF THE HERO PULPS!
This wildly melodramatic thriller, originally published in the August
1933 issue of Dime Mystery Magazine, provided the template for countless pulp-hero
novels published during the Thirties. Depression-era readers craved outlandish
menaces to take their minds off their troubles, and The Purple Eye was at
the top of the list.
The Eye, maniacal criminal mastermind and leader of the ancient death cult
known as the Brotherhood of Baktuun, terrorizes New York City with a series
of high-profile murders accomplished by mysterious means. Seven million souls
are at his mercy as his outrages mount in dizzying succession. The police,
constrained by legal niceties and endless red tape, seem powerless to thwart
his mad schemes. Enter Wayne Saxon, millionaire sportsman and world traveler,
who devotes his life to running the Eye to earth. He works within the law
when possible, but without it when necessary. Will he succeed? There’s a thrill
on every page of this baffling mystery.
Shawn Danowski’s introduction, “In the Days Before the Undressed Dames
and Drooling Dwarves,” is adapted from his history of Dime Mystery in its
early, pre-weird menace phase, an article written for the fanzine Purple
Prose.

Blood 'N' Thunder
/ Murania Press
Forgotten
Classics of Pulp Fiction
Now available!
You may
order at the Books section or click on the images below to order!
Before the trend
toward specialization—before the hard-boiled dicks, before the Skylarks and
Lensmen, before the Shadows and Spiders—pulp magazines offered escapist fiction
that appealed to readers of all stripes. Virtually every story was suffused
with the spirit of adventure; beyond that there was great variety in theme
and setting. Qualities that became pronounced during the era of genre pulps
were already evident in rough-paper yarns of the 20th century’s first two
decades. Sadly, many great stories from this period are unknown to today’s
pulp aficionados, especially inasmuch as the issues in which they appeared
are hard-to-find collector’s items.
Murania Press has rescued from obscurity ten noteworthy novels originally
published in such legendary pulps as Adventure, Blue Book, The Argosy, The
Cavalier, and The Popular Magazine between 1908 and 1921. Some never saw publication
in hard covers, others did but have been out of print for many decades. This
group of exemplary stories, written by early pulpdom’s top fictioneers, is
being republished as a series titled “Forgotten Classics of Pulp Fiction.”
Each book, measuring six by nine inches, utilizes the same cover design.
Each is numbered on the spine, alphabetically by author. Each has an informative
introductory essay putting the novel and its author in proper historical context
for maximum appreciation by readers.
Stories in the “Forgotten Classics” series take place in a variety of locales:
India, the Appalachian Mountains, the American West, the Gobi Desert, the
Canadian northwest, the French Riviera, the South Seas, colonial-era Kentucky,
and a mythical Balkan state. Within the group a reader will detect genre elements
that would become more distinct and pronounced in pulp fiction of subsequent
decades. But each novel is, at its core, a rousing adventure story clearly
and vividly told. You’d never guess these gems were written a hundred or
more years ago.
Murania Press has previously published four of the listed novels in its
“Classic Pulp Reprint” series. Those books, now withdrawn from circulation,
sold for $20 per title. Each of the “Forgotten Classics” volumes is priced
at $16, and the entire set of ten will be available at $120, which includes
shipping to buyers in the United States.
The “Forgotten Classics of Pulp Fiction” will begin shipping on May 1.
Between now and then we’ll be running individual blog posts with additional
information on each book. For now, here are the titles and the magazines
from which they have been sourced:
1. H. Bedford-Jones, The Wilderness Trail. Originally published
in the February 1915 issue of Blue Book.

The old west settlement of Bluestone had its characters — unruly
miners, cardsharps, drunks, and prostitutes — but Expansion brought a deadlier
variety of malcontents, and the town’s spirit changed.
Nearby towns had hard-hitting sheriffs like Wyatt Earp — Bluestone had
Bonny Lou Baker, a female Sheriff. The headstrong college dropout claimed
the sheriff job no one else wanted, almost as a lark. Even her boyfriend,
a Copper Queen Mine geologist, thought those fancy frontier six-shooter were
baubles to go with her buckskins. But her no-nonsense attitude, and her twin
ivory-handled Colts, kept petty criminals at bay.
The Mayor and the townspeople weren’t sure she could handle the new trouble-makers:
a gang leaving a trail of robberies and slaughtered victims, bearing down
on Bluestone. What could one Eastern-raised woman do?
Bryan Cox writes novels and short stories. After several careers and geographical
locations, he has settled down to a quiet life in sunny Florida.

The set is published by Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. and includes an
leather bound book in dust jacket, manuscript portfolio, handcrafted dip pen
and Dejah Thoris medallion all housed in a 7”x10” custom decorated case.
We think this will be the most elaborate and unique edition of A Princess
of Mars ever published.
Each set features:
• A Leather Bound Book limited to 500 numbered copies
signed by the artists and contributors with a corrected text, new foreword
and preface.
• 20 Color Plates featuring the original (5) color

Doug Klauba and others.)
• A Custom Case covered in Cialux cloth, with spine
titling and decorations debossed in gold and 1st edition dust jacket illustration
inlaid on the lid.

the Moons of Mars" containing replica manuscript pages, editor letters, the
Munsey check to ERB for UMM, and first publication pulp cover and pages.

used by ERB to write the holographic manuscript for Under the Moons of Mars.

In addition:
• The Deluxe Manuscript Edition of A Princess of Mars does

Collection only publishes titles in G&D that have not previously been
available.
So far that includes 1st G&D printings of Back to the
Stone Age, Land of Terror, Savage Pellucidar and John Carter of Mars.
• The text has been proofed
by Frank Puncer and reset with corrections for this new edition. (One notable
mistake was discovered in the 1st edition text that has been carried over
to every later edition.)

in brown Cromwell leather with red/orange stamping
in a style reminiscent of the first edition published by

the book, manuscript portfolio and a die cut tray for the medallion and pen.
• This vintage-style document portfolio is a 6”x9”
gusseted custom envelope made of heavy kraft paper and secured by a button
and string.
We have taken great care to source antique and vintage papers
to match the original pages or documents.
• The first publication pulp cover and pages are
from the Feb. 1912 All-Story Magazine and include two-sided replicas of the
color cover, contents page and first story page.
• The handmade Italian wooden/pewter pen comes with
an original 100 year-old Esterbrook 788 Oval gold-plated nib and is mounted
in a base tray with the Dejah Thoris medallion.

Edgar
Rice Burroughs Universe
At Comic-Con International in San Diego, California, Edgar Rice
Burroughs, Inc., announced a new series of authorized, canonical novels featuring
the myriad characters and worlds from the works of Master of Adventure: the
Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe. The new series, which will debut in 2020,
represents a number of publishing “firsts” that, as Director of Publishing
at ERB, Inc., I am particularly excited to share.
The very first first, and the most important, actually begins with an achievement
of Mr. Burroughs, who created the first expansive, fully cohesive literary
universe. Of course, there were other authors who crossed over their own characters
between their novels and series — Jules Verne and H. Rider Haggard, for example
— but no one before ERB had made such interconnections to the degree that
he did. As early as the years of 1913 to 1916 — when writing novels such
as The Mad King, The Eternal Lover, The Mucker, The Oakdale Affair, and,
arguably, The Man-Eater, the latter featuring a brief cameo from a certain
“Mrs. Clayton” at a Central African estate — Burroughs began weaving an intricate
tapestry of internal references connecting seemingly disparate works. Soon
thereafter came references to Barsoom and John Carter in the “alternate future”
continuity of The Moon Maid (written in 1919).
Then, in 1928, while writing Tanar of Pellucidar, Burroughs introduced
a character named Jason Gridley, who had invented a transmitter-receiver
device that utilized the “Gridley Wave,” thus permitting communication between
the Earth’s surface and the world of Pellucidar at its core. Gridley went
on to appear or be mentioned in seven more novels, ultimately connecting
four of Burroughs’ major series and placing them within the same continuity:
the Pellucidar, Tarzan, Barsoom (Mars), and Amtor (Venus) series. These crossovers,
combined with the earlier connections Burroughs had made between his novels,
eventually created an interconnected universe that encompassed more than sixty
books.
The forthcoming Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe series picks up where Burroughs
left off, with new adventures not only set in ERB’s first-of-a-kind expansive
continuity but also relating a continuing storyline that threads its way through
all the novels: what the other writers of the series and I have begun calling
the “super-arc.” Fittingly, this through line begins in 1950, the year of
Mr. Burroughs’ passing, with Jason Gridley in Pellucidar investigating a
strange disruption in the Gridley Wave.
In the super-arc, Jason Gridley will be joined by another first: a new
major ERB heroine named Victory Harben. Who is Victory Harben? Well, I’d
rather not give too much away at this early stage, but dedicated fans of
ERB will recall the von Harben family—Karl and his son Erich (discoverer
of that singular lightweight and highly durable metal known as Harbenite)
and his daughter Gretchen—who appeared in Tarzan and the Lost Empire, Tarzan
at the Earth’s Core, and the juvenile novel Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins with
Jad-Bal-Ja the Golden Lion. Is Victory related to Karl, Erich, and Gretchen?
And if so, then why isn’t she named Victory von Harben? You’ll find out in
the new series.
Yet another first has to do with canon. Though a select few novels by writers
other than ERB have been authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., in the
past — such as Tarzan and the Valley of Gold by Fritz Leiber, Mahars of Pellucidar
by John Eric Holmes, and Tarzan and the Dark Heart of Time by Philip José
Farmer — the company has never before officially declared such works to be
canon. Now that has changed. The new ERB Universe novels, expanding upon Burroughs’
original works and existing in their continuity, will be officially canon.
They will be faithful to and consistent with the stories written by Edgar
Rice Burroughs. Moreover, the new ERB Universe novels will be faithful to
and consistent with one another. The fans have been quite vocal about what
they want — adherence to existing canon and consistency between new works
— and we’ve heard you loud and clear. The Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe series
will give you all that and more. It will also begin to move the timeline forward,
allowing the heroes and heroines to explore strange and exotic worlds only
mentioned or hinted at by ERB in the original novels, giving longtime ERB
fans and new readers alike something to look forward to.
In the future, I’ll delve more deeply into how the expanding ERB Universe
works and how seemingly incongruent works by Burroughs fit into the big picture,
such as Beyond Thirty and the Va-nah (Moon) series. I’ll also begin introducing
you to the amazing team of writers I’m working with and the methods we’re
using to grow the universe together as a cohesive whole. And I’ll answer the
question of exactly where these new tales are coming from, for as most readers
of Edgar Rice Burroughs know, the Master of Adventure himself interacted with
the immortal characters whose lives he chronicled, receiving their amazing
narratives firsthand.
One thing is for sure: it’s an exciting time to be an ERB fan!
Originally posted on Black Gate.
The Edgar Rice Burroughs
Universe will feature upcoming novels based on Burroughs’ worlds and characters,
but with cohesive new stories that will expand on the original tales and be
a part of official canon.
The new books will be authored by talented storytellers and will be connected
by what is being called, “The Super-Arc.”
Book one will be written by Matt Betts and will be called, Carson of Venus:
The Edge of All Worlds.
Book two will be, Tarzan: Battle for Pellucidar, written by Win Scott Eckert.
Mister Eckert promised his tale would include the Ape Man fighting WWII Nazis
riding dinosaurs.
Book three will be, John Carter of Mars: Gods of the Forgotten, written
by Geary Gravel.
Book four will introduce a new character, Victory Harben, in a tale called,
Victory Harben: Fires of Halos, written by Christopher Paul Carey, who is
also spearheading the book series as ERB, Inc’s new Director of Publishing.
The new books will be published in 2020 and Mister Carey will also be overseeing
the publication of new canonical ERB comics featuring Carson of Venus and
the world of Pellucidar.
Also on the horizon (this August) is a new hardback edition of Fritz Lieber’s
Tarzan and the Valley of Gold. The first hardback edition of Philip Jose Farmer’s
Tarzan and the Dark Heart of Time is available now.
It was announced that Burroughs’ The Land That Time Forgot has been optioned
for a potential television show. A script has been written and it sounds good;
let’s keep our collective fingers crossed.

May 2019
Edmond Hamilton returns to our pages with "The Man Who Evolved," direct from the pages of the April,
1931 issue of Wonder Stories, including the Frank R. Paul illustration.
Intro by Bob Gay
Also, we found a 1953 comic book story where the plot was (*ahem*) "borrowed"
from Hamilton's original and our unknown scribe managed to condense the story
down to a mere 4 pages.
Read the original first, then "Evolution" which appears as it originally appeared in
Tomb of Terror #12, with the digital restoration included at no extra cost.
April 2019
We are very pleased to present The Neil R. Jones Collection, which starts with an 11,000+
word biography of Jones that incorporates his words, newspaper articles and
our research to create a long overdue portrait of the creator of Professor
Jameson. We have also located a nearly all of Jones' non-fiction writings
from various magazines and fanzines and have included them, along with 5,
never before reprinted, stories that chart his early years as an author.
Copiously illustrated throughout, we hope you enjoy it.
March 2019
An early science fiction opus, A Corner in Lightning by George Griffith, for the March,
1898 issue of Pearson's Magazine including the illustrations by Paul Hardy.
Introduction by Bob Gay.
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.

DESIGNS FOR DREAMING:
The Early Kuttner, Volume Three
Introduction by Dr. Garyn G. Roberts
Now available for pre-order!
Target
Date: April 2020!
All preorders of DESIGNS FOR DREAMING will ship with an exclusive
chapbook reprinting the long-lost 1938 terror-tale, MASTER OF THE DAMNED!
Before his marriage to (and subsequent collaborations with) Catherine L.
Moore, Henry Kuttner was a frequent contributor to the pulp magazines that
specialized in the weird, supernatural, horror, and science fiction genre.
Beginning in 1936, Kuttner launched a steady stream of short stories aimed
at Weird Tales, Strange Stories, Thrilling Mystery, and others.
Kuttner and Moore were married on June 7, 1940 in New York with artist
Virgil Finlay as Best Man. With NYC as his base of operations, Kuttner interfaced
on a frequent basis with the major local genre editors: Leo Margulies at Standard
Magazines (Thrilling Mystery, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Strange Stories,),
Alden H. Norton at Popular Publications (Astonishing Stories, Strange Detective
Mysteries) and perhaps most importantly, John W. Campbell, Jr. at Street
& Smith Publications (Unknown / Unknown Worlds). Campbell’s Astounding
Science Fiction will loom large in Kuttner’s career for the next decade.
In DESIGNS FOR DREAMING (the third and final volume of “The Early Kuttner”)
Kuttner sells the last of his stories to the weird-menace pulps, places some
SF stories with lesser markets (Stirring Science Stories and Fantastic Adventures),
and delivers some of his finest fantasy work in Unknown Worlds. By the summer
of 1942, Kuttner’s Draft Status was reclassified as 1-A. By April 13, 1943,
Pfc Henry Kuttner had orders to report to Fort Dix, New Jersey. The early
phase of Kuttner’s career was over.

BLOOD SUGAR
Daniel Kraus
Cover art by Paul Mann
WHEN TRICK OR TREAT BECOMES LIFE OR DEATH
From the dark imagination of bestselling novelist Daniel Kraus—co-author
with Guillermo del Toro of THE SHAPE OF WATER (which as a film won the Academy
Award for Best Picture)—comes a Halloween crime story that’s like nothing
you’ve ever read before.
At the end of Yellow Street, in a ruined junkyard of a house, an angry
outcast hatches a scheme to take revenge for all the wrongs he has suffered.
With the help of three alienated neighborhood kids, he plans to hide razor
blades, poison, drugs, and broken glass in Halloween candy and use the deadly
treats to maim or kill dozens of innocent children. But as the clock ticks
closer to sundown, will one of his helpers—an innocent himself, in his own
streetwise way—carry out or defeat the plan?
Told principally from the child’s point of view, in a voice as startling
and unforgettable as A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, Kraus’ novel is at once frightening
and emotional, thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud funny. It’ll make you
rethink your concepts of family and loyalty and justice—and will leave you
anxiously double-checking the wrappers on your Halloween candy for the rest
of your days.
First publication anywhere!
Daniel Kraus is the New York Times-bestselling author of not only THE SHAPE
OF WATER and TROLLHUNTERS (both co-authored with Guillermo del Toro) but also
THE DEATH AND LIFE OF ZEBULON FINCH (named one of Entertainment Weekly’s Top
10 Books of the Year) and ROTTERS and SCOWLER (both winners of the Odyssey
Award).
Kraus’ next project is THE LIVING DEAD, a posthumous collaboration with
legendary filmmaker George A. Romero.

This is the first complete edition of the fiction of Anglo-Welsh
writer Arthur Machen (1863–1947) ever published. It includes the totality
of his short fiction, novelettes, novels, and prose poems. While there is
some debate as to what actually constitutes a short story in Machen’s work—especially
given his bountiful array of journalism, some of which borders on fiction—the
works in this volume are unquestionably narratives that feature one or more
elements of fictional composition. A substantial majority of these works are
tales of horror and the supernatural—a genre in which Machen has made a lasting
and ever-expanding impression.
The edition has been prepared by S. T. Joshi, a leading authority on weird
fiction and the author of The Weird Tale (1990) and Unutterable Horror: A
History of Supernatural Fiction (2012).
Joshi has prepared textually corrected editions of the work of H. P. Lovecraft,
Ambrose Bierce, and many other weird writers.
Volume 1: 1888–1895
This first volume contains his charming picaresque novel The Chronicle
of Clemendy (1888), an exquisite imitation of the medieval narratives of
Chaucer and Boccaccio. At this time Machen was a young journalist who had
moved from his native Wales to London, and he wrote a number of humorous
and slightly risqué sketches for fashionable London magazines. But
then he published “The Great God Pan” (1894), one of the pioneering works
in the entire range of weird fiction. It was condemned by contemporary reviewers
as the work of a diseased mind. Machen followed it up with the episodic novel
The Three Impostors (1895), containing the brilliant segments “The Novel
of the Black Seal” (which features the Little People, a sub-human race lurking
on the edges of civilization), “The Novel of the White Powder,” and other
vivid narratives.
Volume 2: 1896–1910
This second volume of Machen’s collected fiction begins with Machen’s most
accomplished novel, The Hill of Dreams (written in 1895–97 and published in
1907), which H. P. Lovecraft called a “memorable epic of the sensitive aesthetic
mind.” It features Lucian Taylor, a young man from the country who struggles
to become a writer in London. His ruminations on life, love, and authorship
are extraordinarily poignant, and at one point he engages in a lengthy dream
of being back in ancient Rome, in the town of Isca Silurum, near his birthplace
in Wales. Later in 1897 Machen wrote a series of exquisite prose poems that
were later published as Ornaments in Jade (1924). These ten vignettes display
Machen’s luminous prose at its most evocative, and they touch upon the possibility
of strange and wondrous phenomena concealed behind the outward façade
of the mundane world. Machen’s most accomplished weird tale, “The White People,”
is also found here. Its account of a young girl insidiously inculcated in
the witch-cult, told entirely from her own perspective as she jots down her
thoughts and impressions in a diary, achieves the pinnacle of clutching fear.
A very different work is the short novel A Fragment of Life, telling of how
a seemingly ordinary couple rediscover their sense of wonder in the world
around them. The novel The Secret Glory (written around 1907) is a discursive
novel that searingly condemns the British school system for destroying the
imaginations of its pupils. The entire work—including the final two chapters,
first published only in a limited edition in 1992—is included here.
Volume 3: 1911–1937
The third volume of Machen’s collected fiction begins with a tale, “The
Thousand and One Nights,” that has never before been reprinted. It continues
with a succession of tales that Machen wrote during and just after World War
I, a cataclysm that shook Europe to its foundations. The most famous of these
is “The Bowmen” (1914), a narrative of medieval soldiers coming to the rescue
of besieged British infantrymen in France was widely believed to be a true
account, in spite of Machen’s repeated protestations to the contrary. Machen’s
final war tale, the short novel The Terror (1916), is an imperishable depiction
of the revolt of animals against humanity’s rulership of the earth. In the
1920s Machen resorted to humor and satire to convey his dissatisfaction with
the increasing secularization of his era, which he felt was robbing the imagination
of wonder and mystery. He also began contributing to anthologies of original
weird fiction edited by Cynthia Asquith and others, producing several memorable
tales as a result, including “The Happy Children” and “The Islington Mystery.”
Machen’s final novel, The Green Round (1933), is a subtle tale of supernatural
menace, narrated in the blandly repertorial prose that Machen had developed
in his later work. He then published two final volumes of weird tales, The
Cosy Room and The Children of the Pool (both 1936), which contain many memorable
tales, including “The Bright Boy” and “N.”

Philip José Farmer had a life-long love affair with the pulps he
read in his youth. They influenced nearly everything he wrote, but in the
1970s he paid special tribute to them with several stories. Greatheart Silver
and Other Pulp Heroes collects these stories for the first time in hardcover!
This collection also features an introduction by college professor and pulp
historian, Garyn G. Roberts, Ph.D., and artwork (coming soon) by Keith Howell!
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Greatheart Silver
The Return of Greatheart Silver
Greatheart Silver in the First Command
The Grant Robeson Papers
Savage Shadow
Skinburn
The first three stories: “Greatheart Silver,” “The Return of Greatheart
Silver,” and “Greatheart Silver in the First Command,” originally appeared
in Byron Priess’ Weird Heroes series and have been collected before in the
paperback, Greatheart Silver. These stories are Philip José Farmer
at his most irreverent.
The next two items, “The Grant Robeson Papers,” and “Savage Shadow” also
appeared in Weird Heroes, and set up a fantastic premise that was never fulfilled
and will leave you wanting more.
The final story, “Skinburn” appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science
Fiction and is the most scifi of these stories, while still giving a nod to
the pulps.
Here’s something new—based on your feedback and buying trends, we’re only
releasing this book in hardcover.
Greatheart Silver and Other Pulp Heroes will debut at FarmerCon XIV this
coming August, but if you preorder the book now, we’re offering an “Early
Bird Special” discount of $5 off! So you only $27 + shipping for this fascinating
collection of Farmer paying homage to many of his literary heroes!
Please choose the correcting shipping option when preordering your copy.

THE MIDNIGHT GUARDIAN: ANNIHILATION MACHINE - Now available!
by John C. Bruening
He’s back!
It’s been two years since The Midnight Guardian, aided by a mask that enhanced
his reflexes and heightened his sensory powers to superhuman levels, brought
down criminal sociopath Nicky Diamond in Union City’s hour of darkness. Since
then, the mysterious figure has faded into the haze of urban legend. But now
a sinister regime is threatening all of Europe, and a Nazi scientist and
saboteur who calls himself the Sensenmann – supported by a fifth column organizing
on the outskirts of town – has set up a secret operation in Union City and
pointed a doomsday weapon at the heart of the bustling metropolis. Before
long, assistant DA Jack Hunter has no choice but to reassume his avenging
alter ego. The world is slowly inching toward war, and it’s up to The Midnight
Guardian to prevent the first strike by dismantling an enemy from within.
Paperback: 338 pages

OLD BONES (Nora Kelly) - Coming
August 20!
by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
The first in the groundbreaking Nora Kelly
series from #1 bestselling authors Preston & Child blends the legend of
the Donner party with a riveting suspense tale, taking the dynamic duo's work
to new heights.
Nora Kelly, a young but successful curator with a series of important excavations
already under her belt, is approached by the handsome Historian, Guy Porter,
to lead an expedition unlike any other. Guy tells his story--one involving
the ill-fated Donner Party, who became permanently lodged in the American
consciousness in the winter of 1847, when the first skeletonized survivors
of the party stumbled out of the California mountains, replete with tales
of courage, resourcefulness, bad luck, murder, barbarism--and, finally, starvation
and cannibalism.
Captivated by the Donner Party, Nora agrees and they venture into the Sierra
Nevada in search of the camp. Quickly, they learn that the discovery of the
missing starvation camp is just the tip of the iceberg--and that the real
truth behind those long-dead pioneers is not only far more complex and surprising
than they could have imagined...but it is one that puts them both in mortal
danger from a very real, present-day threat in which the search for the lost
party, and its fabled fortune in gold, are merely means to a horrifying end.
Series: Nora Kelly (Book 1)
Hardcover: 384 pages
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
List Price: $28.00

G-8 and His Battle Aces #83 Audiobook
Death Rides the Midnight Patrol
by Robert J. Hogan
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Now available!
They called G-8 the Flying Spy. History never recorded his exploits—and
for good reason! No one would ever believe World War I was that wild!
Deep in the earth, away from the light of day, the murder of millions is
planned by a fiend who lives for his love of murder! Herr Doktor Krueger is
his name and Death is his partner in this historic crime. Here, in the black
skies of midnight, lighted by the guns and the flares of the searching Gods
of Death, G-8 flies to the greatest showdown of his career! What was the
secret of Herr Doktor Krueger? G-8 and his Battle Aces write the answer in
flaming skies!
Every good hero must have villains that just won’t die, and G-8 was no
exception. Steel Mask was an enemy that brought his own iron version of evil
to bear on the Battle Aces more than once, hiding his mutilated face with
an obviously steel mask. He held G-8 responsible for his affliction, due
to America’s Master Spy bringing down a blimp in literal flames. Other villainous
types returned as well, including the Raven, Chu Lung, and Grun the Primeval.
|
|
None, however, came back
as often or with the determined ferocity of G-8’s primary nemesis, Herr Doktor
Krueger. Returning again and again over the entire 110 adventures after appearing
in the very first story, Krueger truly proved to be a mad genius that could
have won the war for his side, were it not for G-8 and His Battle Aces. From
deadly diseases to weapons of mass destruction, Krueger’s machinations were
the most vile and depraved featured in the series. As evil as G-8 was righteous,
Krueger attempted multiple times to win the war for the Kaiser and rid himself
of America’s Master Spy. He succeeded at neither.
Nick Santa Maria brings G-8, Nippy and Bull to thrilling life in their
desperate struggle to defeat a deadly nemesis unlike anything they have ever
before encountered in Death Rides the Midnight Patrol. Originally published
in the August, 1940 issue of G-8 and His Battle Aces magazine.
Nick DeGregorio composed the music for the G-8 and His Battle Aces series
of audiobooks.

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.
Action Stories was one of many pulp magazines published by Fiction
House, also known for their air pulps (Air Stories, Wings, Aces, George Bruce's
Air Novels), western pulps (Lariat Stories, Frontier Stories, Civil War Stories),
sports pulps (Fight Stories, Baseball Stories, Football Action), detective
pulps (Detective Classics, Detective Book Magazine, Bull's-Eye Detective),
science fiction pulps (Planet Stories) and general adventure pulps (True Adventures,
Jungle Stories, Sheena). Action Stories published its first issue in September
1921. During its 30-year run, it contained a mixture of subjects, including
sports fiction, war stories, adventures in exotic locations, a few science
fiction tales, and a good smattering of western adventures. If a story couldn't
find a place in any of the other Fiction House pulps, there was always room
for it in Action Stories. Not to say these were second-tier stories, each
was top-notch quality, which explains why the magazine survived for an amazing
224 issues. The final issue was published in the fall of 1950. Action Stories
now returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in
electronic format.

ROBERT E. HOWARD'S SAILOR
STEVE COSTIGAN: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF PUBLISHED STORIES
Now available!
Robert E. Howard is best
known today for his "sword-and-sorcery" stories. But in the early 1930s, he
was a legend in boxing circles for his humorously over-the-top adventure stories
starring the sailor Steve Costigan, champ of the Sea Girl -- the toughest
trading vessel on the Seven Seas. Steve is an A.B. mariner and amateur boxer,
with a heart of gold -- and a head of solid wood.
In these 21 tales, he blows around the waterfronts of various Far East
ports with his white bulldog Mike, getting swindled by clever dames, pummeling
the occasional underworld criminal, and getting into epic fistic battles with
anyone who can take a good punch -- in or out of the ring.

Rogue Phoenix Press
Now available!
New! From Rogue Phoenix Press!
The first two volumes in author Pierre V. Comtois' new hard SF Science
Agents series! First, introduce yourself to Jules Santros, Science Agent
for the Terran Consortium and 'Manda Mooney, secret operative for the Terran
Consortium's Exterior Ministry in Extra Galaxia! Then, move on to their next
assignment in Novus Intelligens.
Extra Galaxia (Science Agents #1)
Science Agent Jules Santros has two problems: he has to save the
universe and avoid falling for beautiful 'Manda Mooney, sometime secretary
for the Terran Consortium's Exterior Ministry but actually a secret operative
with orders to keep him under surveillance. On assignment from Military Intelligence,
Science Division, Jules is on the trail of a group of renegade scientists
that plan on using dangerous black hole technology to tip the balance in Earth's
war against the Outer Arm Coalition. Only thing is, use of such banned tech
will set off an interstellar chain reaction that could consume the entire
galaxy! Now, follow Jules and 'Manda as they team up and travel beyond known
space to catch the conspirators and prevent Terran defeat in its war with
the Coalition!
$9.99 paperback/Extra Galaxia 196 pages
Novus Intelligens (Science Agents #2)
They're back! And this time, they're a team in more ways than one!
As Mr. and Mrs. Santros, Jules and 'Manda Mooney are now both science agents
for the Terran Consortium's Military Intelligence. Join them on their toughest
mission yet as they first become targets for murder then split up to find
out who or what is behind a series of missing space freighters, the destruction
of a Navy battleship, and a self-repairing spacecraft housing what may be
a new form of life. When their paths finally reunite, Jules and 'Manda discover
that the dangers they've faced individually, pale in comparison to the one
they both must now face together: one that threatens two star faring civilizations
and aims to make mankind in particular, extinct!
$8.99 paperback/Novus Intelligens 192 pages

The Serial Squadron
Now
available!
SPY SMASHER
Blu-Ray/DVD
EXTRA SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION
Featuring
KANE RICHMOND
as the famous Fawcett Comics Hero
MARGUERITE CHAPMAN
and HANS SCHUMM as The Mask
Directed by WILLIAM WITNEY
The fan-favorite serial in
a new HD transfer by Dino Everett at the USC Hefner Moving Image Archive and
restored by Eric Stedman of the Squadron, for the first time on 1440 x 1080
Blu-Ray. Really.
This is not the end-all greatest digital video version of SPY SMASHER which
could ever possibly exist, what it is is a new HD digital transfer from the
Squadron's 16mm print, with improved sharpness, motion and audio in comparison
to the old 1990s VHS version. SPY SMASHER remains, however, one of the most
exciting and masterfully directed and produced sound cliffhanger serials ever
made and an action-adventure masterpiece--the second comic book hero movie
ever made, and still, possibly, the best--and this version will be sharper
and clearer than any version on video you have seen before.
This transfer is complete, splice-free and very good quality and suitable
for viewing on large-screen TVs. It also contains fixes of some errors which
were present in all past video versions & apparently in the 1942 Republic
original. There is a little dust in some of the early chapter openings but
no lines or scratches in the transfer at all; the picture quality is very
good to excellent throughout, reflecting the quality of the print from which
it was transferred.
Preorder SPY SMASHER now
for delivery later this month or early July.

Weird Tales of Modernity:
The Ephemerality of the Ordinary in the Stories of Robert E. Howard, Clark
Ashton Smith and H. P. Lovecraft
Coming September 9!
Serious literary artists such as
T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf loom large in most accounts of
the literary art of the first half of the 20th century.
And yet, working in the shadows cast by these modernists were science fiction,
horror, and fantasy writers like "the Weird Tales Three": H.P. Lovecraft,
Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard.
These three writers did not publish in artistically ambitious little magazines
like The Dial, The Smart Set and The Little Review, but instead in commercial
pulp magazines like Weird Tales.
Contrary to stereotypes about pulp fiction and those who wrote it, the
Weird Tales Three were serious literary artists who used their fiction to
speculate about philosophical questions, the function of art, and the brevity
of life.
