About this ebook

This issue, we have a pair of Golden Age novels—one mystery, one fantasy—from two of the greats, Edgar Wallace (who created King Kong, among other things) and H. de Vere Stacpoole (author of The Blue Lagoon). But the short stories are no slouches, either: tales by modern greats like Robert Lopresti and Joseph S. Walker (thanks to Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), and Ron Miller, alongside newcomers like KB Willson and Sarah EA Hart. Plus we have classics by John S. Glasby, E.C. Tubb, and space opera from Edmond Hamilton. And, of course, an original solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles. Fun stuff!
