CAPTAIN PHILIP STRANGE: STRANGE
SPECTRES by Donald E. Keyhoe
A mental marvel from birth, who
used his talents on stage as a boy, Philip Strange is now known as “The
Phantom Ace of G-2″ by the Allies during WWI. “Horrors of war” takes on
a whole new meaning when WWI erupts with paranormal activity: Flaming planes
piloted by charred skeletons; Battleship crews that mysteriously vanish;
Medieval knights falling from the sky; The spirit of the Red Baron himself
haunting the frontlines! When World War I gets weird, only America’s own
“Phantom Ace of G-2” has a ghost of a chance against the supernatural slaughter.
Captain Philip Strange in his strangest cases yet from the pages of Flying
Aces magazine!
Take another trip through the imaginings of Donald E. Keyhoe, where
the WWI war skies are filled with giant bats, invisible fire, and beautiful
spies. And where America turns to its own unnatural secret weapon: Captain
Philip Strange. A mental marvel from birth, he was so terrifyingly effective
as the Allies’ top agent that the Germans were offering a king’s ransom for
his death. This fifth volume of weird WWI adventures collects six stories
featuring Germany’s wildest attempts to win the war and Captain Philip Strange’s
counter measures!
Stories include:
“Scourge of the Spectre,” – Flying Aces, August 1935
“Spectre of the Red Knight,” – Flying Aces, January 1932
“The Vanishing Avenger,” – Flying Aces, February 1934
“The Ghost from G-2,” – Flying Aces, May 1934
“Strafe of the Flying Corpse,” – Flying Aces, January 1936
“The Armored Corpse,” – Flying Aces, March 1936

SQUADRON OF THE DEAD by Frederick
C. Painton
The Squadron of the Dead contained
all the hellions of ten armies! Men without hope; men courting death; men
who loved to kill; men who laughed and fought, drank and cursed, lived
hard, and died harder. Americans, British, Russians—even Germans—made up
their ranks, and only one bond held them together: Death lay ahead of them.
They were assigned the grim missions no other squadron dared to take—for
they had all been condemned to die!
Each of the eight stories in Painton’s Squadron of the Dead is the story
of a different pilot who has been condemned to death and sent to the squadron
to serve out his sentence. And die they did, dropping spies, bombing impossible
places, strafing infantry for harassed Allied battalions. These men flew
recklessly, savagely, knowing they could live again only when death really
claimed them. Then their names would shine once again in the casualty announcements
and they would be posthumously awarded the Legion d’Honneur.
Frederick C. Painton, a prolific pulp author and venerated newspaper
man, wrote the eight Squadron of the Dead stories contained in this anthology
in 1935 for Sky Birds magazine.
Painton is best remembered for his coverage of World War II for Reader’s
Digest magazine.
Stories include:
“Today We Die,” – Sky Birds, February 1935
“Ghosts of the Living,” – Sky Birds, March 1935
“The Glory Gambler,” – Sky Birds, April 1935
“Tarmac of Treason,” – Sky Birds, June 1935
“Death’s Dreadnaughts,” – Sky Birds, July 1935
“Legion of the Unlucky,” – Sky Birds, August 1935
“Duel of Dishonor,” – Sky Birds, September 1935
“Slaughter of the Dead,” – Sky Birds, December 1935

In The Green Eyes (1872) young Albert Dumesnil wonders
if the soul of his recently departed uncle has not reincarnated itself in
the old man’s cat, Freyschutz. The text is carefully ambiguous in its presentation
of the narrator’s account, always leaving open the possibility that the
strange circumstances are the results of obsessive delusion and hallucination.
The Green Eyes has a casual verve that sets it apart from other contemporary
exercises in the same genre.
Also included are The Terrible Nights (1821), three stories which
combine both lewd and horrific elements in a strident and successful
fashion.
Saint-Georges’ talent as one of the most consummate playwrights of his
times has helped to maintain the readability of these stories in an age where
horror-comedy is a prolific and much appreciated genre.

“I wouldn’t bet on their heads staying on their shoulders if
you take charge of the investigation. Because, on my faith as Commissioner
of Police, Monsieur Pégomas, you’re an ace!”
Pierre Yrondy, the author of The Adventures of Thérèse
Arnaud of the French Secret Service, penned those of Marius Pégomas,
Marseille Detective, serialized in 35 installments published in 1936. Six
of these are being translated here for the first time.
Marius Pégomas is one of the first “regional detectives” and,
physically, bears some resemblance to Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot. He
is a portly, yet remarkably fit, crime-solver whose talents prove invaluable
to local Police Commissioner Santelli. In this collection, with the help
of hisfiancée, the pretty Flora Minuscule, Marius Pégomas tackles
to the villainous Gangsters of La Joliette, an Opium-dealing ring and a female
child trafficker nicknamed the “Ogress” of the Canebière.
Yrondy’s style is characterized by staccato-delivered sentences, sprinkled
with local slang, which give the stories a sense of immediacy and realism.

Lovers of exotic adventure will welcome this new collection.
Filled with excitement and clever drama, these stories cover murder, intrigue,

catering to readers in Blue Book, Adventure and Action Stories. Wetjen
left home at age thirteen for a life at sea, carrying on the traditions
of his sailing forefathers.
These stories vividly display his intimate knowledge of the habits of
sailors. But this collection is more than just a chronicle of man’s struggle
against the relentless sea. Grim humor, pathos and tragedy are skillfully
blended to make Paths of Fire entertaining from cover to cover. With a
biographical introduction by Tom Roberts.

BLOOD 'N'
THUNDER PRESENTS, VOLUME ONE -- PRIDE OF THE PULPS
Now available!
In case you hadn't heard, last fall we brought to
an end Blood 'n' Thunder's 14-year run as a periodical. The zine went out
with a bang: a double issue numbered 49/50 and packed with some of the best
articles in BnT history. In the editorial we promised to continue the franchise
with a series of standalone volumes, issued at irregular intervals, covering
various aspects of pulp and pop-culture history under the general title
of Blood 'n' Thunder Presents.
Well, this week we proudly release the first volume of Blood 'n' Thunder
Presents, subtitled Pride of the Pulps. It's been designed in the "deluxe"
trade-paperback format of 8 1/2 x 11 inches, with the series title in a
wraparound banner and the volume number printed at the top of the spine.
All future volumes will have a uniform design.
Pride of the Pulps devotes nearly 100,000 words to in-depth surveys
of six classic rough-paper magazines: Adventure, All-American Fiction, Famous
Fantastic Mysteries, The Popular Magazine, Short Stories, and West. Earlier
versions of these overviews were published in back issues of Blood 'n' Thunder,
but all have been revised and expanded for this book. Greatly expanded, in
some cases: the essay on Short Stories, for example, first appeared as a
two-parter with a total word count of 11,500 words. Its counterpart in Pride
of the Pulps runs close to 17,000 words.
The addition of new material extends as well to illustrative matter.
The surveys in Pride include more pulp covers and interior illustrations
than accompanied their earlier versions in BnT, but we've also added more
scans of original cover paintings.
In short, this is not a reprint volume that simply repurposes old copy.
It has a significant amount of new content and is a veritable textbook
of pulp-fiction history. Even if you'd be satisfied with the essays as
printed in BnT, it would cost you well over $100 to purchase those issues
individually. And that's assuming you could find them all: the two issues
with the Short Stories survey have been out of print for many years.
Future volumes of Blood 'n' Thunder Presents will be devoted to the
following topics: a history of Argosy, the working life of pulp writers,
the output of legendary scribe Edgar Wallace, a history of Doubleday's
Crime Club book division, and a survey of films made during 1932, which
we posit to be fantastic cinema's best year. We hope and expect to issue
at least two volumes per calendar year, although we're on track to publish
three in 2017. Stay tuned for more announcements.
In the meantime, don't miss out on our first release in the Blood 'n'
Thunder Presents series. We guarantee it'll make a valuable addition to
any home library of reference works covering pulp fiction and vintage American
popular culture.

BLOOD 'N'
THUNDER'S CLIFFHANGER CLASSICS VOLUME 2
Now shipping!
For nearly 50 years the
motion-picture chapter play was a vibrant part of our country’s pop-culture
scene. Following their favorite serials turned moviegoing into a weekly habit
for millions of Americans. During the silent-film era, episodic thrillers
were marketed to adults and children alike, but their emphasis on base melodrama
and contrived thrills appealed more to kids. Those youthful habitués
of Saturday matinees faithfully followed serials and retained fond memories
of them. Subsequent generations discovered cliffhanger classics via later
broadcasts on TV and reissues in collectable home-video formats.
This sequel to 2012's well-received Blood 'n' Thunder's Cliffhanger
Classics offers history and analysis of such popular and influential silent
serials as The Perils of Pauline (1914), The Million Dollar Mystery (1914),
The Diamond from the Sky (1915), The Riddle Rider (1924), and the four
1914-17 chapter plays of Francis Ford and Grace Cunard. Notable talkie-era
serials covered at length include Tarzan the Fearless (1933), The Return
of Chandu (1934), The Lost City (1935), Radio Patrol (1937), Red Barry
(1938), The Spider's Web (1938, and its 1941 sequel The Spider Returns),
Hawk of the Wilderness (1938), Adventures of Red Ryder (1940), and Secret
Service in Darkest Africa (1943).
A special essay titled "Anatomy of a Serial," taking an approach
not previously attempted by any chapter-play historian, chronicles the
making of fan favorite Spy Smasher (1942) from the licensing of the character
rights in June 1941 straight through to the film's national release in
April 1942. All aspects of the production are detailed with facts and figures,
as well as the recollections of director William Witney, star Kane Richmond,
supporting player Tris Coffin, and stunt ramrod Dave Sharpe.
The essays in Cliffhanger Classics are not the typical puff
pieces generally found in books on this subject. Each article has been
carefully researched and supplemented with first-hand recollections of
people who worked in the serials being examined, including leading men Buster
Crabbe, Kane Richmond, Herman Brix, and Rod Cameron; leading ladies Jacqueline
Wells, Iris Meredith, Kay Hughes, Vivian Coe; veteran serial writer Barry
Shipman; stuntmen Dave Sharpe and Tom Steele; and directors Ford Beebe and
William Witney. Their input makes this second volume of Cliffhanger Classics
a valuable addition to the historical record, as well as an entertaining
read.
The book is profusely illustrated with more than 60 pages of
rare stills, posters, and lobby cards from the serials under examination.

Bold Venture Press
American news reporter John Keats
interviews Count Vasil Garganoff, mysterious manufacturing mogul of Hertha
Gun Works in Transylvania. When Teutony and Esperench diplomats are found
dead, the world suddenly teeters on the brink of war!
I’ll Grind Their Bones is a pulp-ish detective story, where the dogged
protagonist must investigate the death of two men that escalates into impossible
shootings and other mysterious occurrences. The title, taken from a rhyme
most typically associated with Jack and the Beanstalk, refers to the casual
death of men in violent ways. But Roscoe also escalates this cause up from
a simple quest of righteous vengeance to play it instead to very different
ends in the largest theater of all: WAR.
I’ll Grind Their Bones plays out like an international nightmare showing
the insanity and futility of throwing so many innocent lives away in the
cause of conflict.
The three countries which become the canvas for this carnage — the aggressor
Teutony, the conspirator Esperance, and the unknown threat of Helvania
— have clear parallels in real life, and it is telling that Roscoe takes
a moment to remove Italy from proceedings so as to streamline this already
complex international thrust-and-parry.

New on Famous (and forgotten) Fiction!
June 2017
Back after a short hiatus (insert your favorite quote about life here)
we present the fourth, and final story of Doyle's Tales of the High Seas, "The Striped Chest."
Dan Neyer introduces the story and also addresses the unknowns that
surround the tale, as Captain Sharkey is nowhere to be found in the narrative.
All of Doyle's text is there, along with the illustrations by Warwick
Goble, just as they appeared in the July 1897 issue of Pearson’s Magazine
(UK).
April 2017
This month we present the final tale of Captain Sharkey, "The Voyage of Copley Banks," just as it appeared in
the May, 1897 issue of Pearson's Magazine (UK), including the illustrations
by Warwick Goble. Dan Neyer adds a short introduction.
And, just for the completists out there: We do realize that there is
a 4th Sharkey tale, but we consider it apocryphal and its true origins are
unknown.
March 2017
Captain Sharkey returns in the second of Arthur Conan Doyle's
Tales of the High Seas in a tale entitled, "The Two Barques," just as it appeared in the March,
1897 issue of Pearson's Magazine, including the illustrations by Warwick
Goble.
Dan Neyer's introduction is also included as a more modern addition.
February 2017
Pirates...Tall sailing ships...the High Seas...and the villainous
buccaneer, Captain Sharkey...all these, and more, are part of the Arthur
Conan Doyle series, Tales of the High Seas.
Starting this month, we begin the series with "The Governor of St. Kitts," just as it appeared in
the January, 1897 issue of the British version of Pearson's Magazine, including
the illustrations by Warwick Goble.
Dan Neyer provides the introduction to the story and the series.
January 2017
Concluding our reprinting of the first series of Father Brown
stories, we present “The Sign of the Broken Sword” including all the George
Gibbs illustrations and an introduction by Dan Neyer.
Next month, prepare to hoist the jib and steer for clear water!

8.5" x 11" interior pages, 130+ pages, full color throughout,
with a brief introduction and checklist
with cover artist credit where known.

FREDRIC BROWN MYSTERY LIBRARY
VOLUME 1: MURDER DRAWS A CROWD
(Writer) Fredric Brown, Jack Seabrook
(Cover) Norman Saunders
Now available!
Shipping
Update!
The start of shipping preorders was
delayed for two weeks while we waited for the arrival of the bonus bookmarks
as well as several hundred more shipping cartons. So, we've been packing
and mailing the preorders in waves for the past few weeks. While this has
put a nice dent in the volume of preorders, we're still handling orders from
2014 (yeah, I know . . .). Plus, an additional delay sprung up this week
with jury-duty for yer humble Poobah. But that's behind us and we're back
in the groove getting these orders out.
At the current pace, it looks to be another 2-3 weeks to get all the
preorders out the door.
Then we'll start in on the orders placed after we took delivery of the
books in late April.
Ideally, all open orders will have been shipped by the end of June.
A massive fix of liquor-fueled
murder, smoke-clouded mystery, and hard-hitting revenge from the author
of The Screaming Mimi and The Fabulous Clipjoint. This archival-quality
hardcover assembles 38 incredibly rare stories from 1938-1942, with the
original Pulp artwork from such magazines as Thrilling Detective, Masked
Detective, Detective Fiction Weekly, and more. This is the book Fredric
Brown fans have been waiting for!
Introduction by Jack Seabrook
ISBN: 9781893887787
744 pages

“. . . enough good people put Brown on their must-read lists
and then become evangelists to keep his name alive on the same high shelf
as Hammett, Thompson, Ross Macdonald and other crime icons. Somewhere up
in literary heaven, I hope he’s looking down, sipping a beer, playing his
flute and smiling.”—Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune
While the editor of this series only recently came upon the above quote
from 2008, these eyes read no truer words. Work has been underway for nearly
a year on assembling the first two volumes of a series provisionally titled
LOADED: THE COLLECTED FREDRIC BROWN. Now is your chance to get in on the
ground floor of what is hoped to be the definitive collection of Fredric
Brown sans his science fiction works. Assembled in chronological order of
publication, this set will contain all the short fiction (of all genres:
mystery, horror, noir, western, detection, etc.) and all of Brown’s novels
(again, excepting his sf works). You’ll be able to enjoy Fredric Brown at
his longer lengths from The Fabulous Clipjoint and Night of the Jabberwock
to The Lenient Beast and Mrs. Murphy’s Underpants.
Assisting with this effort have been Brown bibliographer Phil Stephensen-Payne
and Brown biographer Jack Seabrook. This massive undertaking could not
have been accomplished without their help.
Introduction by Jack Seabrook

Hard Case Crime
Coming soon!
October 2017
QUARRY'S CLIMAX
Max Allan Collins
Cover art by Robert McGinnis
Memphis, 1975. "Raunchy" doesn’t begin to describe Max Climer’s
magazine, Climax, or his all-hours strip club, or his planned video empire.
Evangelists, feminists, and local watchdog groups all want him out of business.
But someone wants more than that, and has hired a killer to end Max’s career
permanently. Only another hit man—the ruthless professional known as Quarry,
star of the acclaimed series on Cinemax—can keep Climer from becoming a casualty
in the Sexual Revolution.
The longest-running series from Max Allan Collins, author of ROAD TO
PERDITION, the Quarry novels tell the story of an assassin with an unlikely
taste for justice. Once a Marine sniper, Quarry found a new home stateside
with a group of contract killers. But some men aren’t made for taking orders…
First publication ever!
A new Quarry novel set in the time of the hit Cinemax series
Features a new cover painting by the legendary Robert McGinnis
November 2017
TURN ON THE HEAT
Erle Stanley Gardner
Cover art by Laurel Blechman, Robert Maguire
Erle Stanley Gardner was not just the creator of PERRY MASON—at
the time of his death, he was the best-selling American author of all time,
with hundreds of millions of books in print. Among those books were the 29
cases of the brash, irresistible detective team of Bertha Cool and Donald
Lam. Last year, Hard Case Crime brought out the first new Cool and Lam novel
in decades, THE KNIFE SLIPPED, lost for 77 years after Gardner’s publisher
refused it. Now, we’re bringing you the book Gardner wrote to replace it,
often considered the best in the series: TURN ON THE HEAT.
Hired by a mysterious "Mr. Smith" to find a woman who vanished 21 years
earlier, Donald Lam finds himself facing a sadistic cop, a desperate showgirl,
a duplicitous client, and one very dogged (and beautiful) newspaper reporter—while
Bertha Cool’s attempts to cut herself in on this lucrative opportunity
land them both hip-deep in murder...
First appearance in bookstores in half a century!
Erle Stanley Gardner remains one of the most popular American authors
of all time
Features a new cover painting by Laurel Blechman, working from reference
photos shot by the legendary pulp illustrator Robert Maguire.

MURDER DOLL
“I was beginning to feel drowsy when
my ears caught the faint click of metal against metal. I straightened,
senses alert, and peered through the darkness toward the door. . . I slid
my gun from its holster. The sound of the lock snapping back seemed as
loud as the explosion of a firecracker. Then a crack of light appeared and
disappeared. Someone had entered the apartment . . . I quietly slid out
of the chair and circled around . . . The intruder sensed my approach and
began to back away . . . Suddenly, with animal-like cunning, the figure
sprang at me. Automatically, my eyes and brain registered the long, narrow
glint of a knife blade aimed towards my throat.”

The Korshak Collection: Illustrations
Of Imaginative Literature
June 07,
2017 to August 26, 2017
The Society is proud to present a rare
opportunity to view some of the greatest fantasy masterpieces of our time.
Presenting a grouping of illustrations of imaginative literature from the
Korshak Collection, on display in Gallery 1 & 2.
"As a young man I was fortunate enough to grow up with great
art in my bedroom. My father, Erle Korshak, was the publisher of a pioneering
science fiction book company, Shasta Publishers. Shasta ushered in the
transition of important science fiction literature from magazines printed
on cheap pulp paper to hardcover, library-quality books. Much of that art
lived with us at our house and at the company office in Chicago.
In particular, the J. Allen St. John illustration for the 1941
Amazing Stories magazine cover of John Carter battling the Dead in "The
City of Mummies" lured me into a fantastic world that I never knew existed.
I read and enjoyed the Edgar Rice Burroughs story behind the illustration
but for me, the illustration itself gave me a sense of wonder I had never
previously experienced.
So began a lifelong love affair with illustration art. This collection
is a vision of the fantastic. It is one of great illustrators, as well
as illustrations that had a great influence on imaginative literature."

Pulp Magazines Project
- Now online!
Publishing legends The Black Mask (1920), Weird Tales (1923),
and Amazing Stories (1926) are considered so “extremely rare and valuable”
that the U.S. Library of Congress houses its collection of 277 issues in
Washington, D.C.’s Rare Book and Special Collections Division—along with
the personal libraries of Presidents, medieval and Renaissance manuscripts,
and one of only three known perfect copies of the Gutenberg Bible in existence.
With its latest addition of 4 issues of The Black Mask (Aug. & Sept.
1920; Dec. 1921; and Apr. 1922), the Pulp Magazines Project has made all
3 classic titles available together—for the first time—in high-quality, cover-to-cover
digital editions.
Also available at the Pulp Magazines Project, new issues of the iconic
“weird 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.

Recoverings
These new dust-jackets use scans of the original cover paintings
by J. Allen St. John and Studley O. Burroughs, producing the extremely
sharp detail and rich color that my dust-jackets are known for.
Click on the image to the right and see for yourself.
APACHE DEVIL was the last cover that Studley O. Burroughs did for ERB,
Inc. and CITY OF GOLD was the first that J. Allen St. John did, marking a
return of the illustrator to his favorite and most well-known subjects.
Studley originally had the CITY OF GOLD assignment in the fall of 1932,
but his personal problems got the better of him and he ended up way behind
schedule.
Burroughs had C.R. Rothmund, his secretary, write to St. John as early
as February of that year to ask him if he could reduce his prices for artwork,
which he had quoted teh previous February, to match their "budget allowance"
in the event that "the artist who is doing the work at present" would not
be able to deliver on time. St. John agreed to a 37% decrease and ERB,
Inc. put him off until it became clear that Studley would miss his deadline.
Read more about this on The Back Flap Blog soon to come…
