in “The Unsettling Matter of the Graveyard Ghoul.”

Milo March #4: As Old As Cain
By Kendell Foster Crossen, M.E. Chaber
Insurance investigator Milo March is under pressure to solve a classic
whodunit in a small town. Athens, Ohio, is a place full of historic monuments,
many of them still walking the streets. But now the excitement of Hollywood
has burst on the scene, with a studio shooting a biopic about a rugged pioneer
who played a role in the founding of Athens County. Descendants of the story’s
hero still live in Athens, and are the owners of valuable antiques, books,
and other heirlooms passed down to them from the early 1800s. The studio has
arranged to use these gems of Americana as props, insuring them with a million-dollar
policy. With such a large sum at stake, the insurance company sends Milo
to check on the security measures at the little museum where the items are
housed under guard.
The job seems like a snap—until a bludgeoned body and alot of smashed-open
cases send everyone into a panic. Among the stolen items is a personal diary
written by Hanna’s wife, which appears tobe an object of intense interest,
or even obsession. Milo can’t imagine why a diary from the early 1800s should
be so dangerous as to leadto murder, but he’ll have to find out. Was it a
matter of greed, professional ambition, or something bizarre like a delusional
fixation on the long-dead pioneer woman who penned the diary? If being unpleasant
or eccentric made someone a murderer, then there was full cast of characters
to choose from, including a pedantic historian, a shiftless ex-cop, and a
couple of snooping old biddies, not to mention a scheming scriptwriter, a
genius director, and a man-eating blonde starlet.
Murder wasn’t supposed to happen in Athens, Ohio, and the cops want these
crimes to be solved fast. The pressure is on Miloto identify the killer before
he strikes again—and to recover the heirlooms before anyone cashes in the
million-dollar policy.

Milo March #5: The Splintered Man
By Kendell Foster Crossen, M.E. Chaber
It’s been two years since Milo March sneaked into East Germany to
capture a valuable Western deserter. Now, as a major in the Army Reserves,
he is recalled to tackle a much weirder case. No one knows why Hermann Gruss,
head of the counterespionage police in West Germany, disappeared behind the
Iron Curtain. Did he defect voluntarily, or was he taken by force? Either
way, Milo hasto get him back before he reveals secrets that the U.S. shared
withhim.
Some say Gruss suffers from a dread disease and is being treated in East
Berlin with the latest wonder drug by his friend Dr. Oderbruch. Milo suspects
that Oderbruch, a former Nazi, is experimenting on Gruss, bouncing him in
and out of insanity like a yo-yo by dosing him with LSD, then healing his
“schizophrenia” with an antidote. Withholding the antidote is a handy way
to squeeze information out of Gruss, and the drug experiments are part of
a larger, fiendish project involving mind control of the military.
In his effort to gain access to Oderbruch and find Gruss, Milo ends up
in the arms of the lustful Frau Beate, who plies himwith Soviet champagne
and vodka. Milo is reasonably safe if hangoversare the only menace. But when
his disguise as a Russian secret-policeagent is blown, he is packed off to
a mental hospital. There he joinsGruss as the doctor’s latest guinea pig.
Milo survived a marathon interrogation by the Communists during his last
mission. But this is different—the hallucinogenic effectsof LSD threaten to
splinter his mind into pieces. How will he escapethe closely guarded hospital,
bringing both Gruss and the evil Oderbruchback with him to the West? Milo’s
quick-witted action and sheer nerve,not to mention his irreverence toward
authority figures on both sides,make for the wildest trip of all—an insane
car chase back to the FreeWorld.

Milo March #6: A Lonely Walk
By Kendell Foster Crossen, M.E. Chaber
Milo March, Madison Avenue insurance detective, is sent to Rome
to investigate the double-indemnity claim on the policy of a young woman
who may have been murdered. Anna Maria went walking on a beach, allegedly
to bathe in the healing seawater. A few hours later she was found lying nude
on the sand, with no apparent signs of violence to the body. An accidental
drowning, says the medical report, and the family puts in a claim for the
large benefit. The insurance company, understandably, would like to confirm
that the death was indeed an accident.
Although the case is quickly closed by the police, the whispers of Rome
will not be silenced. They insist that the girl was murdered, that she’d been
consorting with VIPs at a wild drug party, that shewas pregnant and the guilty
man did not want any trouble. It is rumoredthat politicians made the police
hush up the truth, lest a scandaltopple the Christian-Democrat government,
allowing the Communists totake over.
Milo is warned to leave the case alone. If he persists,he may find himself
arrested, he may get orders from his own American Embassy, or he may even
be killed by someone… or some thing. All of thismay happen if he says out
loud that a girl of no importance died becausesomeone wanted her dead. But
the question—and the shocking surprise—is who actually killed her?
A Lonely Walk was inspired by the true story of Wilma Montesi, whose death
in 1953 led to a scandal that rocked Italy with revelations of corruption
in high places. The real-life case remains unsolved death to this day. Not
so Milo’s investigation of the girl who took a lonely walk—until Death came
to keep her company.

bloody battle to wipe out the famous “Black Hand” gang which terrorized the

mystery, his face concealed by a mask of the precious metal, had allied himself
with powerful foreign magnates to deliver the United States into misery and
bondage. Robbed of her riches, her plans for military security disrupted,
her strategic stores destroyed and her armament factories wrecked, the most
powerful nation in the world seemed inevitably doomed. One man, Jimmy Christopher,
ace of the Intelligence, had a feasible plan for wresting victory from the
cunning clutches of the greedy syndicate… And that man, known to a few as
Operator 5, under grave suspicion of treachery, spied upon and hampered by
a stubborn superior, must sacrifice his father, his beloved, and his honor
to save his native land from a cruel invader’s debauchery and butchery…!

For the past several years I was converting pulp stories into etext
to sent to Pulpgen for reprinting. And then one day -- poof! --Pulpgen was
gone.
So I've decided to fill in the void, sort of, by preparing --at irregular
intervals -- ePub anthologies I'm calling "The Baker's Dozen.
Thirteen stories of a particular genre trying for as much variety as possible.
The first Baker's Dozen is
Baker's Dozen-Detective 01. Thirteen mystery, detective, and crime stories
from thriteen different writers appearing in twelve different magazines.
There are stories by Arthur Leo Zaget, Paul Ernest, Bruno Fisher, Richard
Sale, Robert Leslie Bellem, Frank Gruber, and six more. Alll for free, inePub
format, and available for download at: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/p56wc0bxuidzr/Documents
Also uploaded this week are a number of dime novels and penny dreadfuls.Claude
Duval was a charismatic English highwayman, active during the British Civil
War.
A dashing and gentlemanly rogue along the linesof Robin Hood. We present
two of his many adventures.
Claude Duval #2, a medley of adventures of him as warrior, romantic, highwayman
and leader of the downtrodden masses in London.
Claude Duval #10 involves a plot to assassinate King Charles I but
quickly turns into a tale of a man huntednot merely by Claude Daval but by
his guilty conscious as well.The writing of these stories is surprisingly
literate for cheapentertainment.
Here on the other side of the Pond we present two dime novels of Nick Carter,
the world's greatest Detective.
Nick Carter - The House of Secret is a amusing gothic thriller as unseen
forces terrorize a young woman in her own house.Nick Carter - Gideon Drexel's
Millions Man comes to Carter thinkingsomeone in his household is trying to
killer him. Carter comes toinvestigates and finds that everyone is plotting
against the name.Two entertaining stories to amusing through these long summer
days.And free for download at http://www.mediafire.com/folder/p56wc0bxuidzr/Documents
Finally, for the SF fan we post three differentdime novels about steam
engines shaped like men.
The first is The Steam Man of the Prairie by Edward S. Ellis (1869) Young,
Hunchback Jonny Brainard builds his steam man and hired to rescue
the partner of a mountain man who were prospector for gold and now are menaced
by indians.
This proved so popular that publisher Frank Tousay hired Harry Enton to
create his oown steam man.
This became the Steam Man of the Plains, published in Boys of New York
in 1876 and reprinted in the Frank Reade Library #12 in 1892.
A dispute over ownership of the title lead to the creation of Frank Reade,
Jr. by "nonname" (Lu Senarias) This time titled, Frank Reade Jr and his New
Steam Man.
Each of these is a completely different and unique story.
The Frank Reade Library appeared weekly. The fifth issue featured
"Frank Reade Jr. with his Steam Man in Mexico. This has also been included
as an ePub. These, too, can be found at http://www.mediafire.com/folder/p56wc0bxuidzr/Documents

The Best of Jules de Grandin
20 Classic Occult Detective Stories
By Seabury Quinn
Coming June 30!
A collection of the 20 greatest tales of Jules de Grandin, the supernatural
detective made famous in the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales.
Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and
Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales
during the first half of the twentieth century, arerecognizable even to casual
readers of the bizarre and fantastic. Andyet despite being more popular than
them all during the golden era ofgenre pulp fiction, there is another author
whose name and work have falleninto obscurity: Seabury Quinn.
Quinn’s short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales’s
original publication run. His most famous character,the supernatural French
detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigatedcases involving monsters, devil
worshippers, serial killers, and spiritsfrom beyond the grave, often set in
the small town of Harrisonville,New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar
shades of both Arthur ConanDoyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule
Poirot, and alongsidehis assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin’s knack
for solving mysteries—andhis outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!)—captivated
readersfor nearly three decades.
The Best of Jules de Grandin, edited by George Vanderburgh,presents twenty
of the greatest published works featuring the supernaturaldetective.
Presented in chronological order with stories from the 1920s through the
1940s, this collection contains the most incredible of Julesde Grandin's many
awe-inspiring adventures.

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 inStreet & 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 Hulseoffers "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 ofSpicy 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 withselected 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
ithas 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.

Larry Kent: Curves Can Kill & Go-Go for Broke
By Don Haring
Curves Can Kill
A newly-discovered virus—and the deadliest threat to Mankind—had gone missing,
and whoever had it figured to sell it to the highest bidder. That was where
Z Detail—a clandestine security agency whose very existence was a closely-kept
secret—came into it.
But why did they want Larry Kent to handle their dirty business for them?
Oh, sure, they gave him the chance to refuse the assignment. But he knew
only too well that a refusal meant he would suffer an ‘unfortunate’ but fatal
‘accident’. So Larry played along with them.
His job was to expose the traitor who planned to sell the virus to a foreign
power, and stop the exchange at all costs. Trouble was, there were no shortage
of suspects — and one by one, they were all being ruthlessly wiped out.
Go-Go for Broke
The San Rameo Cross was an artifact of enormous religious significance
… and a not-so-small fortune in cold, hard cash. When he decided to investigate
the murder of a fellow private eye, Larry Kent found himself caught up in
a web of intrigue as greedy men and women vied to own the near-priceless relic.
First to come forward was Emanuel Constantine, a fussy little man who hated
violence and yet was prepared to kill to get what hewanted. Then there was
Alice Gordon, a seductive woman for certain,but also one of many secrets.
The same could be said for the scheming,sable-haired Marina Koch. But most
deadly of them all was the skeletalHendrick Fluger, a man described as the
devil himself, and whose namewas only spoken in terrified whispers!

The Legend of Robin Hood: Outlaw
By John E. Petty
When Robert of Locksley returns home from the Crusades after fighting
alongside King Richard, he finds his home and its people crushed under the
fist of the Sheriff of Nottingham and the despotic Prince John. After a personal
tragedyin which he loses his home, his family, and his title, Rob escapes
intothe deep vastness of Sherwood Forest, a foreboding place, known to behaunted.
But instead of ghosts and goblins, Rob finds a community oppressedby cruelty,
one that he vows to lead towards a better life.
Originally conceived centuries ago, the Legend of Robin Hood is as timeless
and as powerful now as it was during the Middle Ages. In a time when the world
suffers from dwindling resources, income inequality, the tyranny of the rich,
and forces far beyond the control of commonpeople, Robin Hood is a lasting
symbol in these dark and frightening times.Based on the original ballads
and tales, The Legend of Robin Hood: Outlawspeaks today with a rich and powerful
voice, one that urges everyone tostand up and fight oppression, bigotry,
and fear.

Meteor House
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 inan alternate/near
future 1970s, Up from the Bottomless Pit tells of a world so ravenous in
its desire for oilthat 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
U.S.: $24.00
Canada: $36.00

Meteor House
Philip José Farmer fans know that he was fascinated with 19th century
explorerand author Sir Richard Francis Burton. Farmer made Burton theprotagonist
of the Hugo winning novel, To Your Scattered Bodies Go, the first book in
the Riverworld series. In Gods of Riverworld, the final book in the series,
Peter Jairus Frigate (Farmer’s fictional stand in) said that he had written
a biography of Richard Burton butthat Fawn Brodie’s biography of Burton came
out before Frigate couldget his published. When asked about this in the early
2000s, Phil said,“I was going to write a biography of Burton but Fawn’s biography
cameout. It seemed to be pretty definitive so I decided not to write more.”
The biography Farmer did write about Burton starts in 1855, when Burton
was thirty-four years old and on an expedition to find the source of the Nile.
As for its origin, Phil explained, “This was written for what was called a
‘Men’s Magazine.’ I think the magazine was titled Gonads, but I am probably
wrong. Anyway, for reasons unknown, the article was rejected and so went into
the proverbial trunk.”
A Rough Knight for the Queenstayed in that trunk for decades until Farmer
sold theoriginal unpublished manuscript and it eventually wound up in the
hands of collector Craig Kimber. When Paul Spiteri and Michael Croteau were
putting together Pearls from Peoria, a massive compilation of Farmer rarities
published by Subterranean Press in 2006, Craig sent them a copy of the manuscript
to include in the collection.
Now Meteor House brings you Farmer’s 26,000 word biography of Burton in
both an affordabletrade paperback and in a signed limited hardcover.
Both editions feature introductory material by Mick Walton (author of Sir
Richard Burtonand His Circle), Mark Hodder (author of the Burton and Swinburne
novels) and Paul Spiteri (editor of Pearls from Peoria).
The hardcover limited edition will be signed by Walton, Hodder, Spiteri,
and cover artist Charles Berlin.

Forged in war, The Phantom Detective wages aone-man battle on crime!
Solving impossible mysteries and delivering hisown justice, he is the underworld’s
masked nightmare!
Corpses hung aloft on the steel skeletons of skyscrapers serve as gruesome
symbols of a gigantic plot of death and destruction menacing the progress
of America and The Phantom Detective!
|
|
Although The Phantom Detective
often faced the same sort of evil that other Pulp heroes came into contact
with, there was something different about the adventures of Richard Curtis
Van Loan. Multiple similarities can be drawn between The Phantom and his pulpish
peers, including being a veteran of the Great War, being wealthy, and an
unerring need to help others. Even with all of that, however, the concept
of the masked man with the platinum domino mask as his personal badge had
something others of its type did not - a certain simplicity. Van Loan, even
with his unerring mission of justice, actually returned from the war as so
many veterans do, looking for what was next, unsure of how to continue his
life. This unsure direction surely spoke to many readers of the Detective’s
stories, a lot of them either veterans themselves or, more likely, victims
of the insecurity the Great Depression caused. In The Phantom Detective, however,
fans found a man who not only, like them, had lost his way, but also rediscovered
it and took to a new path with dedication and ferocity.
Knowing that crime was a universal concern, The Phantom Detective’sstories
often led with brief passages, editorials in a way, pointing outallegedly
real criminals and actual criminal actions. Each of these blurbswere essentially
calls to action, summoning the reader to, like The PhantomDetective, take
up the fight against crime, in completely legal ways, ofcourse.
‘Hammers of Doom’ was originally published in the September 1937 issue
of The Phantom Detective Magazine and is read with pulse pounding intensity
by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.

Patrol of the Phantom
by Robert J. Hogan
Read by Nick Santa Maria

for good reason! No one would ever believe World War I was that wild!
The Gray Ghosts of the Sky have bony hands and do the killing of the Phantom!
Herr Geist they called him, and his hands were quicker than the eye, his methods
even swifter than the guns of the Master Spy! It was Herr Geist who did the
bidding of Koln, the Butcher, and lived to regret theservice that he gave!
A battle with Hell and Destruction above the earth,and a thousand chances
for a fighting man to die!
Out of war-torn skies soars…G-8 and His Battles Aces! The greatestcombat
pilot of the War to End All Wars, G-8’s true name was strickenfrom all official
records. Flying a supercharged warplane, backed by hiswild wingmen, Bull Martin
and Nippy Weston, G-8 fought the most horrificfoes the Kaiser could throw
at him.

Author Robert J. Hogan
dished up German Zombies, Wolf-men, Harpies, Martians,and even tentacled
floating monsters seemingly inspired by H. P. Lovecraft.Once, Hogan throttled
his imagination back to normal speed. The result wasthat hapless Allied warplanes
found themselves ensnared in the sky-highweb of a Zeppelin-sized tarantula.
He called that one ‘The Spider Staffel’.Most of these monstrosities were the
work of Germany’s seemingly endlesssupply of mad scientists, chief of whom
was G-8’s recurring Nemesis, HerrDoktor Krueger. It was a wonder that the
Kaiser lost the war.
It was a war that finally ended G-8’s adventures. A shortage of pulp paper
during World War II led to the Master Spy’s last flight with the cancellation
of the series in 1944.
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 ‘Patrol of the Phantom’. Originally published in the
March 1938 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.

trend. Western Fiction Publishing Co.started their foray into science fiction
with Marvel Science Stories in1938, it then changed to Marvel Tales in 1939
and finally became MarvelStories in late 1940. After the final issue in April
of 1941, the magazineleft newsstands for nearly a decade. It returned in November
1950 underthe old title of Marvel Science Stories and continued until 1952.
AlthoughMarvel Stories only lasted two issues, both magazines were filled
with topquality science fiction thrills. Writers who would go on to make
a name forthemselves in the genre appeared in those two issues, making them
