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

nemesis in the Theater of War. Karl von Zenden,

Faces, is now using his stage tricks as agent
Z-13 for the Wilhelmstrasse—and he’s not one
to drop the curtain on a grudge. Now backstage rivals
are front-line enemies in an exclusive engagement
of “Spy vs. Spy.” And when Strange gets into the act and
uses his own makeup-mastery, the Great War becomes the Greatest
Show on Earth! Ladies and gentlemen, presenting
for your entertainment ... two strange operators
head-to-head in eight pulp classics from the pages of Flying
Aces magazine!

THE ARGOSY LIBRARY
SERIES 1
The
First Series of Releases Features Popular Authors Such as Lester Dent,
Otis Adelbert Kline, W.C. Tuttle, and George F. Worts
Coming
next week!
Altus
Press has announced the premiere of its new line of books: The Argosy
Library series.
Founded at the end of the Nineteenth
Century by publishing tycoon Frank A. Munsey, Argosy Magazine quickly
became one of the most popular—and prestigious—fiction magazines of its
day and spawned a publishing revolution. Known as one of the most
literate pulp magazines, Argosy published thousands of short stories
and novels, many of which features some of the most influential series
characters in popular fiction. With the inauguration of The Argosy Library,
Altus Press plans to bring back into print the best of the Frank A.
Munsey Company, sourced from its suite of sibling titles such as Argosy,
The All-Story, and Flynn’s Detective Fiction Weekly, among others.
The Argosy Library expects
to showcase the varied mix of genres that made Argosy one of the
most popular pulps of all time, and Series 1 does just that by
showcasing adventure, mystery, western, science fiction, fantasy,
and crime stories by some of Munsey’s most popular authors such as Lester
Dent, W. Wirt, Otis Adelbert Kline, W.C. Tuttle, George F. Worts, and
Theodore Roscoe, among others.
The Argosy Library will be
released in series of ten books at a time—in matching trade dress—and
will be available in softcover, hardcover, and ebook editions.
In addition to being available separately,
each series of releases can be purchased as a single, heavily-discounted
set.

Altus Press
TARZAN:
RETURN TO PAL-UL-DON
Softcover
edition coming in June!
A deluxe hardcover edition will follow!
Altus Press
is proud to announce the first new Tarzan novel in several years!
Written by the prolific
adventure writer, Will Murray, author of The Wild Adventures of Doc Savage
series, Tarzan: Return to Pal-ul-don is an authorized sequel to one
of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ most celebrated Tarzan novels, Tarzan the Terrible.
“Having been an Edgar Rice Burroughs fan
since 1968,” says Murray, “the opportunity to bring this iconic character
back to life means a great deal to me. I’ve pulled out all the stops
to faithfully replicate the storytelling style of the great Edgar Rice
Burroughs and recreate the original era of Tarzan of the Apes.”
During World War II, John Clayton, Lord
Greystoke has just completed flight training with the Royal Air Force
when his superiors assign him to a secret mission: Locate the enigmatic
British Military Intelligence operative codenamed Ilex, whose plane
has gone down in a vast primeval wilderness that only Tarzan of the Apes
dares brave. Flying Officer Clayton does not suspect that his superiors
harbor an ulterior motive for assigning him this dangerous mission. Before
it’s all over, the Lord of the Jungle will plunge into his wild past
and confront dangers both familiar and unfamiliar in the prehistoric lost
land where carnivorous triceratops and saber-tooth tigers roam.
Jim Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs,
Inc., notes, “We couldn’t be more pleased to have such a talented
writer as Will Murray write a sequel to one of Mr. Burroughs’ Tarzan
novels. The pace is fast and the suspense never lets up, just what a
reader expects when following the adventures of our Ape-Man.”
Tarzan: Return to Pal-ul-don features a
startling cover illustration by award-winning artist Joe DeVito, who
executes the covers for Altus Press’ Wild Adventures of Doc Savage
series.
“It is always a treat painting covers for
Will’s Doc Savage adventure yarns,” says DeVito. “And now, Tarzan,
the granddaddy of all the great action-adventure characters. After sculpting
the Centennial Tarzan statue for ERB, Inc. in 2012, I was hoping to
get a crack at a Tarzan painting as well. This book provided an opportunity
to combine them both!”
Altus publisher Matt Moring adds, “As a
long-time fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs––beginning with the quest to
put together a complete collection of ERB's Ace paperbacks many years
ago–-it’s almost unbelievable that I’d one day be able to say that I’d
actually publish an authorized Tarzan novel. And based on Will's long track
record, there can be no doubt that this will be an epic story.”
Tarzan: Return to Pal-ul-don will be released
in paperback in June, to be followed by a deluxe hardcover edition
with a wraparound cover and a bonus Tarzan short story by Gary A. Buckingham,
“Tarzan and the Secret of Katanga,” a sequel which ties into the
lead novel. There will also be an e-book edition released in all popular
formats.
Will Murray:
I’m immensely pleased and proud to announce that I had been
chosen by ERB Inc. to write the first authorized Tarzan novel in
several years to be set in the series’ original time period.
Although I’m perhaps best known for my Doc Savage novels, I actually
discovered the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs about a year before
I discovered Doc. It was the purchase of the Ballantine Books edition
of "The Gods of Mars" in 1968 that started me on my lifelong love
affair with all things Burroughsian.
When the opportunity came to write a Tarzan adventure, I gave a lot
of thought over which phase of the ape-man’s career to set my story.
From the beginning, the plan was to sequel "Tarzan the Terrible," one
of ERB’s most masterful Tarzan novels, and a personal favorite of the
Burroughs’, second only to "Tarzan of the Apes" in that series.
At first, I thought we would leave the timeframe vague, but the
more I delved into the series, the more I was drawn to the little-recorded
phase in which John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, left his jungle home
to serve in the Royal Air Force during World War Two. Burroughs portrayed
his hero as an observer in "Tarzan and The Foreign Legion,” so he would
likely have previously undergone flight training. Here was a great
jumping-off point to depict the civilized John Clayton in a rarely-seen
role––that of combat fighter pilot––from there to segue into a classic
reversion to this natural state as the untamed Lord of the Jungle.
In "Tarzan: Return to Pal-ul-don," fresh from flight school, Clayton
is given a secret mission. An RAF plane has gone down in Africa, along
with a military intelligence operative codenamed Ilex. His mission
is to locate Ilex and bring the nameless agent back to civilization,
along with the unknown Axis secret being carried to Allied leaders.
As it happened, the missing plane crashed into a previously unexplored
area Pal-ul-don. So when Flying Officer Clayton’s shark-mouthed
P-40 Tomahawk fighter plane is attacked by pteranodons, causing him
to crash land in strangely familiar territory, the ape-man discovers
he’s back in the Land of Man. And so begins his quest.
In this sequel, we are not revisiting the cities and peoples encountered
in "Tarzan the Terrible." Instead, Tarzan finds himself caught in
the web of a completely different tree-dwelling tribe which presents
the fearless ape-man with one of the most epic challenges of his long
career. Tarzan the hunter becomes Tarzan the hunted!
I don’t want to give away any more of the story, but "Tarzan: Return
to Pal-ul-don" is an imaginative quest into a savage land both familiar
and alien. The allies and perils the ape-man collects along the way
are a tribute to the powerful imagination of Edgar Rice Burroughs, one
of the great pulp adventure writers of the 20th Century.
This is Tarzan of the Apes as Burroughs originally portrayed him.

The Shadow monthly readalong!
INTRODUCING
THE SHADOW MONTHLY READALONG
Sanctum Books is initiating a monthly group
readalong and discussion of a Sanctum Books SHADOW volume, beginning
June 7th (so that anyone who doesn't already have the novels has time
to obtain them and prepare for the shared reading experience). Here's
the schedule for the first three months:
JUNE: THE SHADOW
#4: "The Murder Master" & "The Hydra."
JULY: THE SHADOW #13: "Six Men of Evil"
& "The Devil Monsters."
AUGUST: THE SHADOW #27: "The Python" &
"The Shadow, The Hawk and The Skull."
Anthony Tollin has tried to select novels for diversity. "The Murder
Master" & "The Hydra" are very different tales: the first being
an action-packed thriller that takes place partly in a radio studio,
while the latter shows off Walter Gibson's wry sense of humor and has
a lot of great human interest bits involving The Shadow's and the real
Lamont Cranston's very different interactions with Margo Lane and Commissioner
Weston. "Six Men of Evil" & "The Devil Monsters" both venture into
fantastic Doc Savage territory, with The Shadow battling dinosaurs and
mythological beasts in the latter, which has to be Walter Gibson's most
offbeat Shadow novel (which fans either love or hate). And "The Python"
starts off running from the very first page, with The Shadow already captured,
bound and drugged in the clutches of a master villain!
To join the
discussion, all you have to do is LIKE the Sanctum Books
Facebook page.
Please join us beginning
June 7th for a shared reading experience.
If you've already got the novels, great!
If you don't have
them, it is now even easier for you:
FREE POSTAGE if you
order any one of the above books (just $12.95 each) or an even bigger
discount if you order all three: just $30 postpaid for the six novels!

THE FOSSIL
MAN
by Jules Gros
adapted by Brian Stableford
"The fossil man was lying on the left side, the left ulna
being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cavern, ten meters from
the entrance, near the left side-wall."
Jules Gros' The Fossil Man (1882) is
a mildly satirical comedy describing the progress of an 1876 international
scientific expedition to a fictitious island south-west of New Zealand,
which comes across the existence of fossilized human remains.
The theme was still very controversial when the story was
set, especially in Catholic France, where religious opposition to
the idea of the great antiquity of the human species, making nonsense
of Biblical chronology, had been forceful. The notion that the human
species had undergone a long, slow process of evolution was anathematized,
and the gradual but enormous accumulation of evidence produced by
excavations all over Europe, but particularly in France, was a hot topic.
The discovery of quasi-Magdalenian remains in the southern seas would,
indeed, have seemed as exciting and significant to real scientists then
as it does to the fictitious ones in his story.

"The moment has come! Lift up your
hearts! Watch the judiciary strike of the Avenger of Humankind, the Master
of Death, the Murderer of the World!"
In The Murderer of the World (1910), Gaston de Wailly imagined that
the Earth is a living being, whose surface we inhabit as parasites.
Moved by revenge against the "evil beast" which destroyed his family,
a mad scientist schemes to literally murder the world by striking one
of its vital organs.
The novel may seem primitive to a modern eye but its mind-boggling
scope and action-packed plot gives it a certain reckless bravado.
US $20.95 / GBP £12.99
5x8 trade paperback, 244
pages
This dual nature of the vampire, stretching between love and
death, creates a moral ambiguity which is omnipresent in its literary
treatment, incorporating and contrasting seduction and horror, heroism
and villainy. It only reflects the nature of life after death, and
how it is perceived by its surrounding culture. Is it a desirable dream,
or a hateful abomination? A reward or a punishment? And what price
must one pay for such survival?
The stories contained in this collection, featuring some of the most
famous vampires in literary history, incorporate all of these contradictions;
in them, vampires can be both super-human and sub-human, sexual predators
and impotent, romantic and passionate, and yet devoid of soul. Ultimately,
the vampire is our own face, reflecting in the mirror of our beliefs,
the incarnation of our spiritual choices.
Stories by Matthew Baugh, Henri Bé, Anthony R. Cardno,
Matthew Dennion, Win Scott Eckert, Brian Gallagher, Micah S. Harris,
John Peel, Steven A. Roman, Brian Stableford, and Jared Welch with

pals—but I’ll give ’em hell today!”
TALONS OF THE HAWK By Daniel Winters One last hell-packed hour the
fates had given Fighting Joe Gregory to settle his destiny in enemy skies—bullets
in the dawn and a traitor’s unmarked grave—or escape with a secret that
would rock the world!
YOU CAN’T KILL AN EAGLE by Robert Syndey Bowen “Half of this outfit
swears you’re a spy; the other half curses you for a coward. We’re
takin’ off now for the hottest corner in this man’s war. An’ you’re
going with us—to write your answer with your guns!”
AIR ANGELS By Dusty Dowst Warbirds are gamblers, and the stake is
life… Here are some battle tales of the pioneer combat group in air
history—the jinx busters of the Lafayette Escadrille!
EACH DAY WE DIE By O.B. Myers When Death’s watchdogs howl on the ceiling
of hell, and the quitters have fled and the luckless have perished,
a certain breed of flying man will yet stick to his guns and remember:
“Each day we die—but we fly again with the dawn!”
DEATH PATROL by Ray P. Shotwell What did it mean, that challenge
from doom-laden skies—“Keep out of the air today—or you will die to
the last man!”

Blood 'N' Thunder
/ Murania Press
If you’ve never subscribed to Blood ‘n’ Thunder and have not
purchased The Blood ‘n’ Thunder Guide to Pulp Fiction, here’s your
chance to do both at a discounted rate.
For $59.95 you’ll get the Guide (suggested retail price: $29.95)
and four issues of BnT (suggested retail price: $12.50 each). That
adds up to a savings of $20, or 25 percent, and includes shipping
to domestic customers only. (International buyers seeking to take advantage
of this deal will pay slightly more to offset the extra postage and
must e-mail us for precise cost based on location.)
A greatly revised and expanded version of 2007’s Blood ‘n’ Thunder
Guide to Collecting Pulps, this massive new book has been positioned
as more of a reference work than a mere manual for hobbyists. It’s
a complete history of the pulp magazine (told in more detail than ever
attempted by a single author) wrapped up in one-volume. Its 2007 predecessor
had 226 pages and close to 400 pulp-cover reproductions. The new Guide
to Pulp Fiction has 414 pages and 700 cover repros, along with a smattering
of original cover paintings.
Chapters from the old Guide have been extensively reworked. New
chapters have been added on Spicy pulps, sports pulps, love pulps,
and war-and-aviation pulps. Also, two new appendices have been created
for pulp-fiction readers who don’t collect the vintage magazines.
One appendix gives basic information on the best small-press reprint
publishers, while the other lists the most important anthologies of
pulp stories in various genres.

Dum-Dum 2015
August
20 - 23, 2015
Andrews Memorial Town Hall
54 East Main Street
Clinton, CT 06413
“Tarzan”, “John Carter” (Warlord
of Mars) and members of Edgar Rice Burroughs
(ERB) family, along with ERB comic strip writers
& artists, authors of ERB related books;
and Burroughs Bibliophiles are all coming to Andrews
Memorial Town Hall, 54 East Main Street,
Clinton, CT – August 20-23, 2015 – to celebrate Burroughs’
genius.
A movie marathon
Panel discussions
A Tarzan yell competition (judged by members
of ERB’s family)
A video tribute to the late Denny Miller
An auction of ERB memorabilia
Vendors galore will all be there.
And the public is invited – for free!
The public may also dine at the banquet, at the
Clinton Country Club -- for the same fee as the
Bibliophiles.
There, the guest of honor and banquet speaker will
be Tony Award winner & theatrical animal
trainer Bill Berloni
talking about training animals for performance and
the 2015 Outstanding Achievement Award will be
given, posthumously, to Denny Miller.
Dum
Dum Banquet Speaker/Guest of Honor will be Bill Berloni
Our 2015 Dum Dum Banquet Speaker/Guest of Honor,
will be Bill Berloni, who recently trainied Bowdie,
a Poodle Mix, to play the part of Nana in the beloved
musical “Peter Pan”, which aired, live, on NBC on
December 4th. Another of his trainees is in the new “Annie”
movie, which opened just before Christmas. Additionally,
he has two dogs (one is the understudy) in the current National
Tour of “Annie” – as well as critters in other theatrical
productions, both domestically and abroad (Toto in “The
Wizard of Oz” in Paris, France).
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Bill Berloni,
let me introduce him to you:
In the summer of 1976, Bill was a 19-year-old apprentice
at the Goodspeed Opera House when a producer
offered him his big break: a chance to act professionally
and gain his Equity Card. In return, all Bill had to
do was find and train a dog to play Sandy in the original production
of "Annie".
What Bill didn’t know was that this was a bigger
challenge than it seemed. Animal performances in
movies or television can be stitched together using
different takes, different camera angles, even different
animals. To perform in a featured role, an animal actor
would have to be trained to ignore the distraction
of the audience and respond to the same cues the same way
night-after-night, just like his human counterparts. It
had never been done before.
Bill found his dog at a local animal shelter – beginning
his career-long commitment to using rescued
animals. Through a combination of persistence,
patience and trial-and-error, he developed his revolutionary
humane training techniques – learning how to teach actor
and animal alike to create a successful performance. Annie
became a huge hit and Sandy became “the longest running
dog on Broadway,” never missing a performance in more than
seven years.
Since then, Bill and his handlers have provided animals
of all species and sizes, found in shelters, humane
societies or rescue leagues, for Broadway, off-Broadway,
national tours, regional theatres, special events,
the New York City Ballet, motion pictures, television and commercials.
When their careers are over, the animals return to
Bill’s Connecticut farm.
Bill is widely recognized as an expert in animal
behavior and for his dedication to rescue work. In
addition to his work as a trainer, Bill is currently
behavior consultant to the Humane Society of New York. He
has a BFA in theatre, and is a published author and actor.

the heroic Mars adventurer & warlord, “John Carter”
-- although he produced works in other genres as well.
He has been openly acknowledged by Ray Bradbury, George
Lucas and James Cameron, among others, as have greatly
influenced their work.
Founded in 1960, just ten years after Burroughs’
death, the Burroughs Bibliophiles sponsor an
annual convention known as a “Dum Dum”. As

from 10-STORY DETECTIVE, November, 1942

To State Trooper Steve Barry this was not just another murder hunt.
On this highway of doom his brother had met sudden, violent death.

died - and that a quirk of fate had thrust his brother into his own coffin.
"Hold Your Hearses" by Robert Turner from
TEN DETECTIVE ACES, July, 1943
It was bad when Chris Grant was barred from his own funeral. But

Famous (and forgotten) Fiction is a new
site featuring familiar and obscure fiction along with
articles, pictures and essays. In the Writings
section, we have fiction by H. C. Bailey (the first
Reggie Fortune story), Carl Stephenson, Sinclair
Lewis and a large selection of Kipling, including
the complete Mowgli stories and "The Man Who
Would Be King." We've also added an article
about Sleeman's An Account of Wolves Nurturing
Children in Their Dens, that includes a complete
reprinting of the work.
In Comics, there is an overview
of Superman #205 ("The Man Who Destroyed
Krypton!") and a look at a Steve
Ditko illustrated story that bears a strong
resemblance to a well-known story by Carl
Stephenson.The Pictures section starts with a group of collectible
(and some not so) items and is the first of
24 collections.
The site is hoping for subscribers
to keep it going and future plans
call for more stories, more articles
and there are a number of novels
we also intend to add to the mix.
New material will be appearing
on the last Friday of each month (which
means we'll have more new stuff at the
end of February).
In a few month s,
we will also be offering ebooks: on
the site (in PDF) and at Amazon and
B&N in their proprietary formats.

Ming the Merciless and his awful inter-planetary swarms of
terror! Can the cocksure Man From Earth funnel his overconfidence

Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov, force a lasting peace with such savage
races as the Beast-Men of Arboria and Hawkmen of Sky City?
Or will the universe fall to Ming The full-throttle, complete
Flash Gordon saga is collected here, featuring epic space action
from the wildly talented creative team of Jeff Parker (Batman '66,
Aquaman) and Evan Shaner (Adventures of Superman).

faraway Mongo, as well as a comprehensive cover gallery!

Girasol Collectables - June and July Pulp Replicas!
Girasol Collectables is pleased to announce
the final issues in its ongoing series of Pulp Replicas.
SPECIAL NOTICE
That dreaded moment has come and the
Girasol Pulp Replicas project is coming to a close.
We've stepped up production on the next three months of Replicas
and we now have the final issues available to complete the
sets of the Spider, Operator 5 and Terror Tales.
After this, no NEW Replicas will be added to the catalogue.
We will, for an as yet undetermined period, be keeping the existing
catalogue available.
However, we may begin retiring the less-active Replicas at any time,
so don't delay if there are any you're interested in!
Contact us before ordering large quantities to confirm availability.
All of the remaining issues shown below are available now.
For those of you accustomed to the monthly specials, you can still
order that way if you prefer.
If you're looking for individual titles, you can order them singly,
or all together, whichever suits you best.
We'd like to thank everybody that has supported the project over
the years, and we hope that the Replicas continue to provide
reading and research enjoyment for years to come.
We do not anticipate taking on any other pulp reprint projects
at this time and our Pulp Cover Gallery project is our only active
item at present.

of top quality cover scans of various
pulp titles. These numbered Limited Edition volumes of
300 copies each are designed to present the cover
art in all its glory. The interior pages are 8.5"x11",
full color throughout, 130+ pages.
Each book in the series has a mix
of full page scans, size as to the original
pulps, as well as some 4 per page and
6 per page. The exterior is made from
bonded leather, with a small color cover inset
on the front of an issue-of-interest from the interior.
There is a brief introduction about the cover
art and artists, as well as a title checklist with
issue number, date, and cover artist if known.
A combo volume of full sets of scans
of the 2 titles, all 210 issues in total.
This edition will be the same format as
our first 3 volumes, 8.5" x 11" interior,
130+ pages full color throughout, bonded
leather exterior, limited to 300 numbered copies.

are visual references for the cover art.
A mix of full page, size-as covers, and
4 per page images. Top quality, hi-res
images, with the pulp edges showing on
a black background. Great stuff to look at!
Dime Mystery touted itself as the Weirdest Stories
Ever Told, and certainly the cover art was true
to the claim!

North America - overseas add $25)
Visit our ebay store to order, or
email us for more information to acquire your copy.
Paypal payments to: info@girasolcollectables.com

The Golden Age!
Masterworks from the Golden
Age of Illustration - Volume Three
Now available for pre-order!
Shipping in August 2015!
The response to the first volume in The Golden Age series was overwhelming,
and many of you quickly asked for more. Volume Two was fully funded
on Kickstarter in just ONE DAY, thanks to your generous support,
and while that book has been printed and is in bindery now in China,
I have gone ahead and assembled an all-new THIRD volume that I hope
you're going to enjoy. My goal is for BOTH books to ship at the SAME TIME
in August, so you won't have to wait for months to have all of these great
books in your library.
This new book presents the work of 204 artists with 217 full page
reproductions of original paintings, some of the finest images produced
during the Golden Age of Illustration, all photographed directly from
the original art. I've worked to include more diverse artists this time,
with more pin-up, pulp, and paperback artists represented. Don't think
I've had to scrape the bottom of the barrel or have run low on great art!
My archives run deep, and this book is just as outstanding as the first
two volumes, with many masterpieces included.
As with the previous books, this print run will be limited to just
1000 copies. It is 224 pages, 9”x12”, full-color on premium glossy
stock, hardbound with dust jacket.
You will notice that I am not using Kickstarter to fund this book.
While the previous campaigns were great, and Kickstarter works well,
the overall Kickstarter community added little to the sales of the book.
Ultimately, my sales are coming from YOU, the dedicated fans of Illustration
Magazine and the other books I have produced. It seems foolish to give
Kickstarter 10% in fees when I can simply collect pre-orders myself the
"old fashioned way."

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,
with the minor classic “The Graveyard Rats,” Kuttner launched
a steady stream of short stories aimed at Weird Tales, Strange
Stories, Thrilling Mystery, and others.
Writing for Weird Tales brought Kuttner into direct correspondence
with that magazine’s premier contributor. H. P. Lovecraft.
Kuttner set several stories in Lovecraft’s “Cthulhu Mythos”
and two are presented in THE WATCHER AT THE DOOR: “Hydra” and
“The Hunt.”
At this point in his still-young career, Kuttner had cracked
the science fiction market and was steadily publishing
in Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Science
Fiction, and made his first sale to the new prestigious
fantasy magazine, UNKNOWN.
In the course of writing the stories collected in this volume,
Kuttner married Catherine Lucille Moore on June 7, 1940
(in New York with artist Virgil Finlay as Best Man).
THE WATCHER AT THE DOOR is the second volume in a three-volume
“Early Kuttner” set collecting many of Kuttner’s earliest
stories, most of which have never been reprinted.
For those of
you that missed on getting a copy of Volume One:
For a limited time, Haffner Press is offering the out-of-print
TERROR IN THE HOUSE as a combo with preorders of THE WATCHER
AT THE DOOR.
Take advantage of this great offer at the link below.
You can also pre-order THE WATCHER AT
THE DOOR along with THE COMPLETE IVY FROST and THE MICHAEL GRAY
MYSTERIES for #125 and receive a Bonus Chapbook and free shipping.

The Complete Ivy Frost
by Donald Wandrei
Cover Art by Raymond
Swanland
Now available for pre-order!
It may come as a surprise to some that
Donald Wandrei wrote more mysteries than all
his horror, fantasy, and science fiction tales
combined. This volume collects all eighteen adventures
of Wandrei’s ratiocinative detective I.V. Frost,
who is ably assisted by his beautiful and tough female
assistant, Jean Moray. A scientist and inventor, Frost
has his own approach to solving mysteries. Rather than following
the usual hard-drinking, trench-coated style of many
of his contemporaries, Frost’s strategy was to mix the
logic of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes with
the technology of Lester Dent’s Doc Savage. In 2000, D.H. Olson
edited a volume published by Fedogan and Bremer collecting
the first eight of Frost’s adventures. A second volume of
the remaining 10 tales was promised but never materialized.

Hard Case Crime
Coming soon!
July 2015
HE HAD A MONKEY ON HIS BACK—AND A DEAD WOMAN IN HIS
BED!
He’d been a promising piano prodigy, once. Now he was just an
addict, barely scraping by, letting his hunger for drugs consume
him. But a man’s life can always get worse—as Ray Stone discovers
when he wakes up beside a beautiful nightclub singer only to
find her dead...and 16 ounces of pure heroin missing. On the run
from the law, desperate to prove his innocence, Ray also faces
another foe, merciless and unforgiving: his fierce and growing craving
for a fix...
Ed McBain was one of the most popular mystery writers of all time,
creator of the 87th Precinct series and recipient of the Mystery
Writers of America’s Grand Master Award. SO NUDE, SO DEAD
was his very first crime novel—and this is its first appearance
in print in more than half a century.
First publication in nearly 60 years!
"I defy any reader to put this novel down once he starts it."—Richard
S. Prather, best-selling author of THE PEDDLER
Also featuring Die Hard, a bonus McBain short story from the pulps
about the price of addiction, starring private eye Matt Cordell
from THE GUTTER AND THE GRAVE

THE GIRL WITH THE DEEP BLUE EYES
by Lawrence Block
Cover art by Glen Orbik
IN THE DEPTHS OF HER BLUE EYES, HE GLIMPSED—MURDER
Cashed out from the NYPD after 24 years, Doak Miller operates
as a private eye in steamy small-town Florida, doing jobs for
the local police. Like posing as a hit man and wearing a wire
to incriminate a local wife who’s looking to get rid of her husband.
But when he sees the wife, when he looks into her deep blue eyes...
He falls—and falls hard. Soon he’s working with her, against his
employer, plotting a devious plan that could get her free from
her husband and put millions in her bank account. But can they
do it without landing in jail? And once heÕs kindled his
taste for killing...will he be able to stop at one?
First publication ever!
The author of more than 100 novels including the bestselling
A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES (which became the Liam Neeson movie),
Lawrence Block is one of the most acclaimed living crime
writers.
Lawrence Block’s eight previous Hard Case Crime novels include
THE GIRL WITH THE LONG GREEN HEART.

Hitler's Time Machine - Now
available!
by Robert F. Dorr
“This war will never end as long as both sides have time machines,”
Barbara warned, “because one side will always be able to travel back
and checkmate the other.” To Adolf Hitler, the device called Die Glocke,
or The Bell, is the wonder weapon that will win World War II for Nazi Germany,
enabling the Reich to dominate the world. Others see the time machine
differently, among them Franklin D. Roosevelt and Heinrich Himmler. This
dramatic story of the race to develop a time machine on both sides is
the first novel by Robert F. Dorr, a non-fiction author of popular history
books like "Mission to Berlin" and "Fighting Hitler's Jets." In Dorr's
first fiction, the top American scientist is a young woman who has never
held a job, and the top Nazi scientist is an SS madman in Hitler's inner
circle. The outcome of the war may be decided by a commando raid in the
tradition of "The Guns of Navarone." Or maybe not.

Before he was a comic-book pioneer, Major
Malcolm-Wheeler Nicholson wrote adventure
tales for the great pulp magazines—and no run-of-the-mill
pulp fiction was it. The Major served as
a cavalry officer on the southwest border during
the Mexican Revolution. While the First World
War raged in Europe, he fought the Moro insurgency
in the southern Philippines. Then followed his strangest
assignment, conducting espionage in legendarily
hostile Siberia. After the war he was stationed
in Western Europe. These places became
the settings for the majority of his hardboiled
adventure stories. His use of authentic detail,
combined with his superior storytelling ability, make
his stories difficult to put down. You read
one of the Major’s entrancing tales—and your imagination
is transported back to those real places of danger and
daring!
This inaugural collection of the Major’s
fiction includes stories set in
all four of his real-life arenas, originally
published in top adventure pulps: Adventure,
Argosy, The Popular Magazine. It is time for the
Major to receive his due—as one of the genuine
larger-than-life men of the pulps. Included is an
in-depth introduction by Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson, the Major’s
granddaughter.
“Yes, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson
is one of the very, very few people responsible for the
birth of the comic book industry as the
visionary founder of what we today call DC Comics.
And, yes, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson is one
of the very, very few people responsible for giving the
world Superman.”
Michael Uslan,
Executive Producer of all the Batman movies,
Comic book historian, and author of his
memoir, The Boy Who Loved Batman.
“Not many adventure writers
can claim to have based their stories on their own exploits.
Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson could—and because of it, his
evocations of heroism and combat have a believability
and a personal depth unlike anything else in pulp
fiction.”
Gerard Jones,
Author of Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters
and the Birth of the Comic Book.

bound; 264 pages, $20.00

The Munsey Award
Every year, PulpFest recognizes the efforts
of those who work to keep the pulps alive for this and future
generations through its Munsey Award (pictured
at left). Named after Frank A. Munsey, the man who published
the first pulp magazine, this annual award recognizes an
individual who has given of himself or herself for the betterment
of the pulp community, be it through disseminating knowledge
about the pulps or through publishing or other efforts to preserve
and to foster interest in the pulp magazines we all love and enjoy.
Nominations for the 2015 Munsey are now being accepted. All members
of the pulp community, whether they plan to attend PulpFest 2015
or not, are welcome to nominate a deserving person for this year’s
award.
|
|
You can also nominate someone for the Rusty
Hevelin Service Award. Initiated in 2012, this award is designed
to recognize those persons who have worked long and
hard for the pulp community with little thought for
individual recognition. It is meant to reward especially
good works, and is thus reserved for only those individuals
who are most deserving.
Last year’s winners were J. Randolph Cox, who received
the 2014 Munsey Award and J. Barry Traylor, recipient
of the 2014 Rusty Hevelin Service Award. You can read about
both gentleman by clicking here.
If you have someone in mind that you feel worthy to
receive either of these prestigious awards, please
let us know. All members of the pulp community, excepting
past winners of the Munsey, Hevelin, or Lamont Awards (which
had been awarded by Pulpcon), are eligible. Please send
the person’s name and a brief paragraph describing why you
feel that person should be honored to Mike Chomko, 2217
W. Fairview Street, Allentown, PA 18104-6542 or to
mike@pulpfest.com. The deadline
for nominations is May 31, 2015. The recipient of the Munsey and/or
Rusty Hevelin Service Award will be selected by a panel of
judges consisting of recognized experts in the pulp field. The
award will be presented on August 15th, during the convention’s
evening programming.
The Munsey Award was created by artist David Saunders,
the son of legendary illustrator Norman Saunders. Dan
Zimmer of The Illustrated Press and publisher of Illustration
Magazine has produced a limited edition of thirty-six
numbered and signed prints. The PulpFest Committee is
indebted to both David and Dan for their generous support
of our convention.

menace” pulp, Dime Mystery Magazine (Apr. 1938 and
Sept. 1946); Adventure (Jul. 1, 1928; feat.
Walt Coburn’s “The Man Who Hated Himself”);
Western Story (Jul. 27, 1940);
Detective Story (May 1938; feat. Zorro-creator
Johnston McCulley’s “Thubway Tham’s Thothial
Thecurity”); and histories of both The Black Mask
(E.R. Hagemann; UCLA) and Dime Mystery Magazine
(Emily Sisler; University of West Florida).
The Pulp Magazines Project
is an open-access digital archive dedicated to the study and preservation
of one of the twentieth century's most influential literary &
artistic forms: the all-fiction pulpwood magazine. The Project also provides
information on the history of this important but long neglected
medium, along with biographies of pulp authors, artists, and their publishers.
At the heart of the Project's
mission is the archive itself.
In summer 2011, it began with a modest
library of five representative first-generation pulp
titles from the early twentieth century. Over
time, the archive will expand, new magazines will
be digitized, and contextual materials added. Eventually,
the archive will feature a broad range
of pre-1923 titles, post-1923 titles where copyright has
lapsed, and full volume runs of select titles from 1896
to 1946.
The Project is dedicated to fostering
ties between communities of collectors,
fans, and academics devoted to pulp
magazines, and will offer opportunities for
research and collaboration to both scholars and
enthusiasts alike. We will provide information on
upcoming conferences and conventions, and promote
new working relationships between academics and the
hundreds of pulp fans and collectors beyond the college
and university.

Gangland's Doom Audiobook
The Shadow of the Pulps
by Frank Eisgruber, Jr. Preface by Robert Weinberg
Read by Roger Price. Liner notes by Robert Weinberg
Now available!
Of all the characters introduced
by the pulps, no one was more popular or more influential than The Shadow.
No other character so captured the interest and imagination of the American
public during the thirties and forties. From the radio to the pulps
back to the radio The Shadow was the dominant fictional character of
the time. But what exactly is the background of this mysterious fighter
for law and justice?
|
|
At first, The Shadow is completely a man of mystery. We know
nothing of him other than his complete enmity of crime. He is the
master of disguise who appears mysteriously when the situation seems
most hopeless. His guns speak a language that make the most hardened
criminal cringe with fear. But, as time goes on, we learn more and more
about The Shadow. We are introduced to a small but dedicated band of agents
he recruits to help him in his war against crime. The Shadow was a genius
capable of solving the most intricate puzzles and schemes.
Strangely enough, while one of the most popular characters ever in American
literature, as well as one of the most famous radio characters
ever, very little has been written about The Shadow. During the thirties
and the forties, a few articles about The Shadow did appear, usually
as a tie-in with some Street and Smith magazine campaign, or written
by Gibson and appearing in a writers’ magazine.
Still, no work of any length has ever been done on The Shadow pulps,
concentrating on the stories themselves. Frank Eisgruber Jr. is a
devoted Shadow fan who owns a complete set of the magazine. Frank has
written extensively for pulp fiction fanzines and is familiar with
all that has been written on the mysterious crime fighter. He has read
every Shadow novel a number of times and has extensive notes on the entire
series. This audiobook is a result of his studies.
Read by Roger Price.

Weinberg - Ellis Art Prints
The first three prints are ready to ship.
Now available!
Hi, my name is Bob Weinberg. I’m good friends with Doug Ellis
and the two of us are both known as obsessive pulp magazine collectors.
When I use the word “obsessive,” I mean exactly that. Doug and I have
been collecting pulps most of our lives and we have tremendous collections
of them. Recently, our buddy Tom Brown has allowed us to share
our love of pulp fiction with his huge audience of Audiobook Lovers.
I’ve been editing a line of pulp novels, The Best of Argosy, while
Doug has been responsible for The Best of Adventure. But the pulp magazines
are not our greatest collecting mania. Doug and I both collect original
paintings used to illustrate science fiction, fantasy, and pulp magazines
and books. Unfortunately, these originals are one-of-a-kind and are
unavailable to the average collector except for those willing
to pay astronomical prices.
I began buying and selling original artwork used for the covers
of science fiction and fantasy paperbacks back in the 1970’s. At
the time, collecting original SF Art was considered an interesting
offshoot of actual collecting. Artwork sold for a few hundred
dollars a painting, if that. But, as times changed, so did the
cost of art. Prices skyrocketed. A piece I originally sold for
$100, recently brought $15,000 at auction. Making it impossible to
collect many of the finest paintings that were sold in the past fifty
years. Until now!
Working together, Tom Brown, Doug Ellis and I are now selling stunning
prints of some of the finest paintings in our collections. These
are printed full color and will be reproduced directly from the
actual art used to first publish these unique covers. They will offer
the ultimate decoration for any collector interested in SF or
pulp art.
Bob & Doug & Tom
The Laughter of Toffee
Artwork by H. W. McCauley
16"W x 20"H
This painting was featured on the cover of Imagation magazine
in October, 1954.
The Laughter of Toffee by H.W. McCauley - Toffee was a popular
humorous character, somewhat in the sexy Thorne Smith vein of fantasy,
whose adventures were chronicled by Charles Myers. Toffee originally
appeared in a series of novelets published in Fantastic Adventures,
but when editor Ray Palmer moved to Imagination magazine in the early
1950’s, she moved along with him.
Android Abduction
Artwork by Harold Ward
20"W x 30"H
Android Abduction by Harold J. Ward - reproduction of the
cover painting for the March 1941 issue of Spicy Mystery. Ward was
one of the brightest stars of the pulp cover painting universe.
For the Spicy chain, Ward painted many covers with a SF theme
in the early 1940's, as the publisher began running spicy SF stories
inside. The stories may not have been great, but his paintings
were sure popular!
The Shadow Over Innsmouth
Artwork by Edmond Good
16"W x 20"H
The Shadow Over Innsmouth by Edmond Good - the rare cover
illustration done to attract readers to the first Canadian
issue of Weird Tales magazine from January 1942. In 1942,
Canadian Publishers were allowed to reprint stories from U.S.
magazines but not their covers. The thought was to provide employment
for artists unable to find work otherwise. Due to the scarcity of
the Canadian Weird Tales, this cover is one of the rarest Lovecraft illustrations
ever published.

Wasp
A pair of Vickers pronounce the sentence of Death in the high
avenues of the sky where one man lives and another man dies! Dare-Devil

of World War I aviation tales in the decade after the conflict. It made
its debut in February 1932 and lasted for an astounding 135 issues.
It finally closed after World War II ended, with the November 1946 issue.

Horror Stories: Hugh B. Cave and
Donald Graham
Horror Stories! The dark companion to Dime Mystery Magazine.
Created to showcase stories too horrible for Terror Tales. The
third of the triumvirate of fear pulps. This brand of fiction came
to be called Weird Menace. The mystery-and-menace formula proved so
successful that publisher Popular Publications produced Dime Mystery
Magazine, Terror Tales and Horror Stories. These three dominated the
Weird Menace genre all through the 1930s. Blurbed as “mystery-horror”
stories instead of “mystery-terror,” Horror Stories was formulated differently
that its companion titles. Damn the plot. Pour on the menace! This ebook
contains a collection of stories from the pages of Horror Stories magazine,
all written by Hugh B. Cave and Donald Graham, reissued for today’s
readers in electronic format. $2.99.
All eBooks produced by
Radio Archives are available in ePub, Mobi, and PDF formats for

THE FIRE
SPIRITS
by Paul Busson
Introduced by John Pelan
Dancing Tuatara Press #59
The horror novel as a period piece is
a rare thing, and it is rarer still to find it done well. There’s H. Warner
Munn’s The Werewolf of Ponkertand its sequels, Chandler Whipple’s
The Curse of the Harcourts—but standing head and shoulders above the
pack is Paul Busson’s masterful novel of ancient evil awakened during
the Napoleonic era, The Fire Spirits.
Cited as one of the thirteen best non-supernatural horror novels
by Karl Edward Wagner, The Fire Spirits is arguably the rarest book
on the famous Wagner List. Out of print in any form for over eighty
years, this is a volume that tops the ‘want list’ of many a serious
horror collector. Dancing Tuatara Press is pleased to finally be able
to make this classic available to a new generation of readers.
Available Editions
$6 Ebook (EPUB or MOBI)
$20 Trade Paperback 6" x 9"
$35 Hardcover with Dustjacket 6" x 9"
$45 Hardcover with bookplate and dustjacket, signed by John
Pelan

Robert E. Howard Days 2015 is happening this June in
Cross Plains, Texas, and we’d surely like to see you
there!
This annual festival to celebrate the life and work
of Ol’ Two-Gun Bob Howard features the gathering
of Howard fans from all over the world at the very spot
where he created all of his marvelous work.
Project Pride of Cross Plains, The Robert E. Howard
Foundation and the Robert E. Howard United Press
Association join forces each June to present two days of
REH fellowship and everyone is invited. Come and enjoy tours
of the Howard House and the town of Cross Plains, a

Mark
Schultz will be the Guest of Honor this year!
The Robert E. Howard Foundation is pleased to
announce that artist Mark Schultz will be the Guest of Honor
at Robert E. Howard Days, June 12-13, 2015.
Sponsored by the REH Foundation, REHupa and Project Pride
and held annually at the REH Museum in Cross Plains, Texas,
Howard Days is a two-day celebration of the life and works
of author Robert E. Howard.
Mark is well-known as the illustrator for the first Wandering
Star pure REH text Conan edition, The Coming of Conan. His
paintings, full-page drawings, chapter headings and spot
illustrations fill this volume with a clean, energetic and stylistic
imagery. Other Howard work that Mark has done include the covers
to Worms of the Earth (Cross Plains Comics), The Colossal Conan
(Dark Horse Comics) and the Adventures in Science Fantasy volume
for the REHF Press. One of Mark’s designs is used on the REH
Museum t-shirt. And, as it turns out, his very first professional
comics work was inking the pencils of Val Semeik’s Kull story
in the Savage Sword of Conan #132. Mark will also be doing the artwork
for the special souvenir postal cancellation stamp for Howard Days
this year.
The annual Robert E. Howard Days celebration will take place
at the REH Museum in Cross Plains, Texas, on June 12th &
13th, 2015. Sponsored by Project Pride of Cross Plains and the

Banquet and Silent Auction, the Bus Tour of Cross Plains, the
REHF Awards presentation, panels of REH interest and the many
extemporaneous discussions and poetry readings among Howard fans
and scholars, the Caddo Ranch Barbeque, the Swap Meet at the
Pavilion, the special Postal Cancellation souvenir – all this
and more await you at Howard Days. We’re also in discussion about
some new events: an organized tour to Howard’s gravesite in Brownwood,
a REH trivia contest (with prizes!), plus a more “formal” program
booklet to have for another nice souvenir.
