Marvin<BR> THE SCARLET THREAD, by Jacques Futrelle<BR> TALISMAN OF DOOM, by James W....

I first encountered Ruth Chessman's work when browsing back issues of Manhunt magazine–and I was immediately intrigued. Manhunt was a noir/hardboiled digest-sized mystery magazine, and female bylines were uncommon. A quick check showed that she also published stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as well as a 1965 middle-grade novel called «Bound for Freedom,» which was adapted as a movie.<P> She must have instilled her love of crime writing in her family, since her...

A classic entry in the Shell Scott series!<P> This was a warm Sunday afternoon; Sheldon Scott, Investigations—my downtown L.A. office—was closed, and I was invited to a party. A Hawaiian party at that: luau, roast pig, the works. From behind the house somewhere I heard a happy squeal. A happy feminine squeal. Sounded like a good wild party. There was a lot of hellish yelling and whooping. At the top of six cement steps I found a buzzer on the right of the massive door, poked it as chimes...

E. Hoffmann Price was one of the «Weird Tales Circle» that included H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Clark Ashton Smith. In fact, he was the only person to meet both Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft in person. The stories collected here span multiple genres and multiple decades: detective, western, adventure, and fantasy. The one thing they have in common (aside from some mildly titillating content) is the sure voice of a born storyteller. Once you start reading an E. Hoffmann Price...
