Dead and Done For: The Complete Black Mask Cases of Cellini Smith

Long considered one of the best of the Black Mask authors, author Robert Reeves’s longest-running detective character actually first appeared in the 1939 novel, Dead and Done For. Cellini Smith, accountant for a New York City pinball gangster, must clear his boss’s name after being accused of murder. Featuring an introduction by Black Mask editor Kenneth S.

Murder Costs Money: The Complete Black Mask Cases of Rex Sackler
By D.L. Champion, introduction by Ed Hulse, illustrated by Peter Kuhlhoff, cover by Rafael DeSoto
Author D.L. Champion’s knack for penning quirky series characters reached a new height with his stories of skinflint shamus Rex Sackler, one of Black Mask’s longest-running and most beloved series. Already a reader favorite for his Inspector Allhoff stories in Black Mask’s companion title, Dime Detective, Champion chronicled the offbeat cases of Rex Sackler, the greedy gumshoe who “could squeeze a nickel till the buffalo cried uncle.”
The Rex Sackler series allowed Champion to display his talent for sardonic wit and humor in more than two dozen frequently hilarious novelettes published in Black Mask during the 1940s. This volume collects the first eight stories. With an all-new introduction by Ed Hulse.

Let the Dead Alone: The Complete Black Mask Cases of Luther McGavock
By Merle Constiner, introduction by Evan Lewis, illustrated by Peter Kuhlhoff, cover by Rafael DeSoto
The Luther McGavock stories are not your garden variety hardboiled detective yarns. These Black Mask stories are so rich in place and detail that they almost seem a travelogue of small-town life in the Deep South.
Having bounced around to just about every major agency in the country, Luther McGavock finally settled in the Atherton Browne Agency in Memphis, and his cases take him to small towns in the Tennessee hill-country. As an outsider, McGavock is our tour guide to this odd world of the Deep South.
Written by one of the most polished writers to see print in Black Mask, author Merle Constiner’s writing is vivid, his characters complex, and his mysteries deep. This edition collects the first four stories in the series. Includes an all-new introduction by Evan Lewis.
$24.95 softcover | $34.95 hardcover
Dead Evidence: The Complete Black Mask Cases of Harrigan
By Ed Lybeck, introduction by Will Murray, illustrated by Arthur Rodman Bowker, cover by Jes Schlaikjer
Quite likely one of the most hyped—and most mysterious—Black Mask authors to ever appear in its pages, Ed Lybeck made his debut as one of editor Joesph Shaw’s new faces in the wake of Dashiell Hammett’s departure. For Black Mask, Lybeck penned the hard-boiled stories of Francis St. Xavier Harrigan, a former gunman-turned-reporter for the New York Leader.
Though his duration as a Black Mask author was brief, his status as one of its greatest alums was certified by his inclusion in the historic retrospective of Black Mask, The Hard-boiled Omnibus. This edition collects—for the first time—the entirety of Lybeck’s Black Mask output. Includes an all-new introduction by pulp historian Will Murray.
$16.95 softcover | $29.95 hardcover

By Stewart Sterling, introduction by Will Murray, illustrated by Arthur Rodman Bowker, cover by Jes Schlaikjer
One of the most talented authors to be recruited to write for Black Mask Magazine following the departure of Dashiell Hammett, Stewart Sterling made a lasting impression on readers with his initial series character, Johnny Hi Gear: undercover police agent K-Five who battled gambling rackets during the Great Depression.
Never before reprinted, this popular series jump-started Sterling’s writing career which covered spans of time in radio, TV, and hardcovers, along with writing some of pulpdom’s most popular heroes, the Black Bat and The Spider. Collecting all 8 stories, along with an all-new introduction by Will Murray.
$16.95 softcover | $29.95 hardcover

Newly-recruited Paul Cardine is placed in charge of a special squad of officers—all of Italian decent—to find the man at the top of what appears to be a consolidated conglomerate of crime families.

THE SECRET FILES OF DONALD J. TRUMP
VOLUME 1: THE TIJUANA TANGO
A satirical dystopia
by Francis le Lapin
cover by Roberto Castro
1968. Donald J. Trump, moonlighting for the Tsar’s secret police, is dispatched by his handler to Tijuana to stop a diabolical plan by democratic terrorists to restart a colonial war between the French and Mexican Empires.
Tsar? Empires? This satirical novel, starring the most unlikely secret agent of all time, takes place on a dystopian alternate Earth where history diverged from ours in the 1800s and most democracies never arose.
Moving at a brisk pace, this tale of international intrigue and espionage that never was, is the first adventure in a new series dedicated to the exploits of the spy who loved himself.
“Francis le Lapin” is the nom-de-guerre of a renowned Belgian writer who was once the editor-in-chief of the celebrated newspaper Le Fureteur and is also the author of several French comics and YA novels. This is his first book in English.

The genius of the abyss whose image appeared to rise as far as the multitude of his worshipers, the god of the subterrans, was Oronius!
Written in collaboration in 1922 by the author of Felifax, this five-volume saga (of which this is the second), purporting to chronicle the early years of the 21st century, takes place in a quasi-utopia-like Earth, where, thanks to the genius of master scientist Oronius, humanity has mastered natural forces.
However, Oronius’ former colleague Otto Hentzen, a mad scientist who has allied himself with the beautiful, deadly Princess Yogha, appear to have succeeded in slaying their rival. But is Oronius really dead?
The quest to find the master scientist will take his friends into a vast, underground realm inhabited by giant vampire bats and homunculi who worship the great scientist as their god. But their foes push the subterrans to rebel. Will Oronius, his allies and his robots, be enough to defeat the diabolical Hantzen? Will they escape giant moles, the sea of gold and the central fire and reach the surface again in order to stop an invasion from the Center of the Earth?

THE BALD GIANTS
Thirty-Nine French Scientific Romances
Edited & translated by Brian Stableford
Cover by Mike Hoffman
Stories by Alfred Capus, Louis Champeaux, Gustave Geffroy, Edmond Haraucourt, Albert Keim, Pierre Mille, André Monselet, Maurice Montegut, Joseph Montet, René Morot, Maurice Renard, Gabriel Tarde, Louis Ulbach and Adrien Vély.
This anthology collects stories belonging, at least approximately, to the genre of scientific fiction, which were published in various periodicals between 1886 and 1938. Many of them were never reprinted in book form.
The early stories—which are arranged in the chronological order of their publication—were produced in an era of relative optimism with regard to scientific advancement, when the rewards of scientific research were widely seen as a cornucopia; but even where that notion is explicit within the stories, it is generally fitted with a compulsory irony.
Attitudes changed because of the legacy of the Great War, which considerably eroded confidence in the future and provided a graphic illustration of the fact that technological advancement favored the power to destroy as well as the ability to construct.
Some of the notions deployed in those experimental ventures subsequently became clichés, but were not at the time of their publication, and deserve credit for their pioneering spirit, as well as their fast pace and easy readability.

| | Blood 'N' Thunder / Murania Press BLOOD 'N' THUNDER VOLUME 2 NUMBER 2
Now available!
The second issue of the revived Blood 'n' Thunder opens with a special section devoted to Jimmie Dale, alias the Gray Seal, Frank L. Packard's World War I-vintage protagonist whose adventures in Street & Smith's People's Magazine presaged the Depression-era hero-pulp phenomenon. Award-winning writer, editor, documentarian, and pop-culture historian Don Hutchison makes his first appearance in BnT with "Death to the Gray Seal!", an overview of the legendary character. Then editor Ed Hulse offers "The Celluloid 'Seal'," which recounts Jimmie Dale's brief but tumultuous history on film.
Novelist andpulp historian Will Murray is back with "The Spicy Mrs. Schwartz," another of his fascinating examples of literary detective work. This time Will trains his attention on one of Spicy Detective's most unlikely contributors.
BnT presentsa long-forgotten short story by Richard Sale, prolific fictioneer who eventually became a Hollywood hyphenate (writer-producer-director) but is best known for his detective yarns in the Munsey pulps. Sale's 1935 "Mellow Drama" is a clever send-up of rough-paper magazines in general and hero pulps in particular.
The making of Republic Pictures' episodic epic Spy Smasher (1942), based on the popular Fawcett Publication comic book and still considered one of the finest chapter plays ever, is fully documented in Ed Hulse's "Anatomy of a Serial," which presents material gleaned from Republic studio files and first-hand interviews with selected cast and crew members. This 8000-word essay chronicles production from the 1941 licensing of screen rights to the efforts of exhibitors to promote the serial while it was in release. Nothing like it has ever been written by the form's historians.
That relentless researcher of all things Old Time Radio, Karl Schadow, contributes "Avenger Addendum," a brief article that supplements last issue's piece on the 1941 series that adapted Street & Smith's character The Avenger.
The latest BnT also includes reviews and reference material sure to be of interest to pulp-fiction aficionados. And, asalways, the magazine is profusely illustrated.

Kurt Austin and the NUMA crew risk everything to stop a cutthroat arms dealer from stealing a priceless ancient treasure in the thrilling new novel from the #1 New York Times-bestselling grand master of adventure.
In 1074 B.C., vast treasures disappear from the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. In 1927, a daredevil American aviator vanishes on an attempted transcontinental flight. And in the present day, a fishing trawler--along with its mysterious cargo--sinks off the coast of Scotland. How are these three mysterious events connected? And, more importantly, what do they mean for Kurt Austin and his NUMA team?
As they search for answers, the NUMA squad join the agents of the British MI5 to take on a wide-reaching international conspiracy. Their common enemy is the Bloodstone Group, a conglomerate of arms dealers and thieves attempting to steal ancient relics on both sides of the Atlantic. Kurt and his team soon find themselves wrapped up in a treacherous treasure hunt as they race to find the lost Egyptian riches. . . before they fall into the wrong hands.

Erle Stanley Gardner
Cover art by Laurel Blechman
HAS DONALD LAM GONE OVER TO THE DARK SIDE?
From the world-famous creator of PERRY MASON, Erle Stanley Gardner—at his death the best-selling American author of all time—comes another baffling case for the Cool & Lam detective agency. Return to the 1960s as a simple insurance investigation into a car accident puts Bertha Cool and Donald Lam on the trail of murder—and Donald hip-deep in danger when he poses as an ex-con to infiltrate a criminal gang. It’s Gardner’s twistiest caper ever, and a fitting conclusion to Hard CaseCrime’s revival of this classic (and long-unavailable) detective series.
First appearance in bookstores in 45 years!
Erle Stanley Gardner remains one of the most popularAmerican authors of all time
Kirkus Reviews on the lost Cool & Lam novel, THEKNIFE SLIPPED: "A remarkable discovery...fans will rejoice at anotherdose of Gardner’s unexcelled mastery of pace and an unexpected newtaste of his duo’s cyanide chemistry."

| James Rollins: THE LAST ODYSSEY: A Thriller (Sigma Force Novels) - Now available!
To save the world and our future, Sigma Force must embark on a dangerous odyssey into an ancient past whose horrors are all too present in this page-turning thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins that combines cutting-edge science, historical mystery, mythology, and pulse-pounding action.
For eons, the city of Troy—whose legendary fall was detailed in Homer’s Iliad—was believed to be myth, until archaeologists in the nineteenth century uncovered its ancient walls buried beneath the sands. If Troy was real, how much of Homer’s twin tales of gods and monsters, curses and miracles—The Iliad and The Odyssey—could also be true and awaiting discovery?
In the frozen tundra of Greenland, a group of modern-day researchers stumble on a shocking find: a medieval ship buried a half-mile below the ice. The ship’s hold contains a collection of even older artifacts—tools of war—dating back to the Bronze Age. Inside the captain’s cabin is a magnificent treasure that is as priceless as it is miraculous: a clockwork gold map imbedded with an intricate silver astrolabe. The mechanism was crafted by a group of Muslim inventors—the Banū Mūsā brothers—considered by many to be the Da Vincis of the Arab world—brilliant scientists who inspired Leonardo’s own work.
Once activated, the moving map traces the path of Odysseus’s famous ship as it sailed away from Troy. But the route detours as the map opens to reveal a fiery river leading to a hidden realm underneath the Mediterranean Sea. It is the subterranean world of Tartarus, the Greek name for Hell. In mythology, Tartarus was where the wicked were punished and the monstrous Titans of old, imprisoned.
When word of Tartarus spreads—and of the cache of miraculous weapons said to be hidden there—tensions explode in this volatile region where Turks battle Kurds, terrorists wage war, and civilians suffer untold horrors. The phantasmagoric horrors found in Homer’s tales are all too real—and could be unleashed upon the world. Whoever possesses them can use their awesome power to control the future of humanity.
Now, Sigma Force must go where humans fear to tread. To prevent a tyrant from igniting a global war, they must cross the very gates of Hell.

| Mark Halegua: 1953 to 2020
President, and Founder, of the Gotham Pulp Collectors Club Mark Halegua passed away on March 18th.
Mark died of medical complications which is all that is known at present.
From Brian Hochberg:
Mark was passionate about Pulp Magazines, and nothing brought him more joy then to express his interests in science-fiction and hero pulps.
He truly believed there was a market, and a purpose, for this in the New York Metropolitan Area, and he proved it by creating the Gotham Pulp Collectors Club.
Mark was always there to greet both new and old members to each meeting, with a smile on his face.
He made you feel welcome, and always invited you to come back for more.
He loved sharing his pulp collection with the members of the Club, and it looked like he even enjoying seeing more what the other members brought in to share with the club members present for the meetings.
In recent years Mark struggled with health ailments, but he attended as many meetings of the Club as he possibly could.
He tried to have pulp style stories live on with his creation of Red Badge, and other stories.
With the recent health crisis facing the nation, our last meeting had to be cancelled, and I'm not yet sure about the April meeting.
However, when we next meet, we should do a tribute to Mark Halegua, and celebrate his life.
After all, his legacy will live on in the Gotham Pulp Collectors Club. May it live on forever.

Up from the Bottomless Pit
First Trade Edition!
Now available for pre-order!
Shipping begins August 2020 after FarmerCon XV!
Philip José Farmer’s Up from the Bottomless Pit, originally written in the late 1970s with the working title The Dragon’s Breath, is a near-mainstream novel about the ultimate ecological nightmare. Set in an alternate/near future 1970s, Up from the Bottomless Pit tells of a world so ravenous in its desire for oil that it has thrown caution to the wind. Using an experimental deep-water laser drill off the California coast, humankind burns a hole through the ocean floor only to unleash a deadly torrent that initially threatens the greater Los Angeles area, but quickly escalates to a catastrophe of worldwide proportions with the potential to wipe out all life on the planet.
The novel wasn’t quite what Del Rey was looking for at the time, so Phil instead turned in Dark is the Sun (set fifteen billion years in the future). Fast forward to 2005 and the team here at Meteor House was launching the fanzine Farmerphile: The Magazine of Philip José Farmer. We serialized the novel over the first 10 quarterly issues between 2005 and 2007. At $11 per issue, it cost over $100 to read the novel. In 2007, Subterranean Press published Up from the Bottomless Pit and Other Stories, collecting all of Phil’s material from Farmerphile in a deluxe limited edition of only 250 copies. But, at $125, it again cost over $100 to read this book.
This is the Farmer novel you’ve heard about but never got to read! Now, available for the first time ever in a trade paperback edition, you can get Up from the Bottomless Pit for only $20 (+shipping).
Featuring cover art by Keith Howell, a foreword by Farmerphile editor Christopher Paul Carey, and an introduction by award winning environmental writer Sharman Apt Russell!
Be sure to select the correct shipping option below. Books will be shipped to you in August 2020 right after FarmerCon XV!
Trade paperback, 5.5 × 8.5 inches, 250 pages

| Forged in war, The Phantom Detective wages a one-man battle on crime! Solving impossible mysteries and delivering his own justice, he is the underworld’s masked nightmare!
Baffling clues balk all attempts at solution as the Phantom pits himself against a sinister, fiendish master of crime whose heinous deeds defy justice! Diabolical plans are put into place that even the World’s Greatest Detective may be unable to decipher. And even if he can, it could mean his own death!
| 
|
Oftentimes, readers of Pulp magazines in their Golden Age of publication read the wild, over the top stories for one reason - escape. Looking to get out of the humdrum of Depression or War era America, fans of all ages marveled to the adventures of larger than life heroes and insane villains. The Phantom Detective met this qualification to be a Pulp Hero, but also stood out in his own unique way as a relatable character. Though born into wealth, Richard Curtis Van Loan became a self-made man when he decided to become The Phantom Detective. Undertaking to train himself in every aspect of crimefighting, including disguises, forensics, psychology, and escape techniques, Van Loan crafted his own destiny. He also did this without a super scientist father, a likely mystical training in a far-off land, or any other such devices. Granted, he had wealth that many of his readers did not have at his disposal, but still, Van Loan was in many ways a regular joe who saw a need and came up with a very unique way of helping fill it. Yes, he is introduced in the earliest stories as a world renowned detective, but later tales fill out how he came to be such, why law enforcement around the world respects a masked man so much, something that many of his counterparts before, during, and after his series did not enjoy.
‘Six Prints of Murder’ was originally published in the June 1936 issue of The Phantom Detective Magazine and is read with pulse pounding intensity by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.

G-8 and His Battle Aces #35 Audiobook
Vultures of the Purple Death
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!
Men without faces, without hearts and without souls — ambassadors of murder! These were the opponents of the Master Spy — men driven to madness by the blood-lust of Krueger — the heartless, avenging Vultures of the Purple Death! Who were these faceless sky beasts that roamed the fields and the skies of death, stealing the blood of the blind? G-8, himself, was swallowed in this Purple Curse — left helpless and alone — exposed to the merciless hand of the enemy — an enemy gone mad with its thirst for blood, spreading its scourge across the civilized world!
| 
|
110 full length G-8 and His Battle Aces pulp stories show that creator Robert J. Hogan knew what he was doing writing tales that would thrill readers for decades. Hogan brought his own unique take to World War One as well as crafting G-8 in such a way that, although a hero, he was also enough of an everyman to intrigue readers from issue to issue. With that in mind, however, Hogan also knew the audience he was writing for. Pulp fans looked for particular characteristics, certain tropes in their Hero pulps, and Hogan gave them enough to keep them coming back.
G-8 was indeed a hero and although not superhuman, he was the top pilot and spy in the game. He also had his team, his aides, in the form of Nippy and Bull, as well as Battle, his manservant. Most of all, Hogan was a master of Pulp pacing, making sure that the story moved at a breakneck speed toward an explosive end, with G-8 sometimes barely victorious.
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 ‘Vultures of the Purple Death’. Originally published in the August 1936 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.
G-8 and his Battle Aces rode the nostalgia boom ten years after World War I ended. These high-flying exploits were tall tales of a World War that might have been, featuring monster bats, German zombies, wolf-men, harpies, Martians, and even tentacled floating monsters. Most of these monstrosities were the work of Germany’s seemingly endless supply of mad scientists, chief of whom was G-8’s recurring Nemesis, Herr Doktor Krueger. G-8 battled Germany’s Halloween shock troops for over a decade, not ceasing until the magazine folded in the middle of World War II. G-8 and his Battle Aces return in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

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.
The Lone Eagle was Intelligence Agent John Masters, fighting ace of World War I, world's greatest sky fighter. The Lone Eagle magazine told his stories, his amazing adventurers in the air. John Masters was a newspaper reporter for a Chicago paper, but known to only two men, he was secretly The Lone Eagle, special agent and pilot extraordinaire. By 1940 the second world war raged in Europe, and the stories in The Lone Eagle were updated to feature conflicts in the current war. The Lone Eagle was published by Thrilling Publications, home of its companion pulps Air War and Sky Fighters. It made its inaugural appearance with the September 1933 issue. In August 1941 the title of the magazine was changed to The American Eagle, partially because Charles Lindbergh, the inspiration for these stories, was opposed to America's entry into World War II. There was another slight change to the title in the Spring 1943 issue, and it became known as American Eagles. That was the final issue. A total of 75 of John Masters' adventures had been published during its ten year run. The Lone Eagle returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

| Sexton Blake and the Great War (Sexton Blake Library Book 1) - Coming April 14!
by Mark Hodder (Editor)
As brilliant as Sherlock Holmes. As daring as James Bond. Sexton Blake, the adventuring detective, is back! This first volume of a new series reinstates one of literatures greatest detectives - back in print for the first time in decades!
For nearly a century, Sexton Blake was the most written about character in British fiction. He starred in approximately four thousand stories by nearly two hundred authors. A cross between Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones, he was a publishing phenomenon, read by young and old alike.
Paperback: 430 pages
Publisher: Rebellion
Product Dimensions: 5 x 8 inches
List Price: $11.99
A killer blend of James Bond, Indiana Jones, and Sherlock Holmes (then wrapped inside a riddle, wrapped in an enigma), Blake — with his awesome bullet-proof Rolls-Royce and Moth monoplane — is known for his epic adventures and daring exploits. Assisted in all of this daring-do, of course, by his trusted side-kicks Tinker and his remarkable hound Pedro, the detective has been adored by readers of all ages.
After being largely forgotten for decades, this major new collection heralds a triumphant return that not only celebrates Blake, but also serves as the perfect introduction to the charismatic detective for a whole new generation of readers. Featuring tales of derring-do, espionage and exploration, the stories track Blake’s perilous adventures across Europe as he attempts to solve a host of classic crimes; from an encounter with a duplicitous German Kaiser to escaping a firing squad!
April 16th 2020 with Sexton Blake and the Great War: volume one (curated by author Mark Holder) features three stories from World War 1 and the lead up to it: The Case Of The Naval Manoeuvres by Norman Goddard (1908), On War Service by Cecil Hayter (1916) and Private Tinker by William Murray Graydon (1915).
Rebellion will also be publishing five further landmark volumes in 2020, each with a fantastic art deco style cover, including:
Sexton Blake Versus The Master Crooks (June 2020)
Sexton Blake’s Allies (August 2020)
Sexton Blake on the Home Front (October 2020)
