Морис Леблан

Sure, you can root for Sherlock Holmes or Charlie Chan or Hugh Drummond. But I'll take a good old-fashioned rogue over the lot of 'em any day. Boston Blackie, A.J.

So take a walk on the seamy side of the Victorian era. (And yes, we are cheating with the dates a little bit. But we wanted to include a few latter-day rogues whose adventures are in the spirit of their Victorian compatriots.) All told, it's more than 1,900 pages of great reading!

The E. Hoffmann Price Spicy Adventure MEGAPACK ®

E. Hoffmann Price

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 story, you won't put it down. The introduction by Darrell Schweitzer, which leads off the collection, provides a lot more information on Ed’s work for the «Spicy» magazines…though quite tame by modern standards, they were considered quite risque in their day. Included in this volume are: INTRODUCTION, by Darrell Schweitzer SATAN'S DAUGHTER PIT OF MADNESS THE WALKING DEAD EVERY MAN A KING REVOLT OF THE DAMNED CRYSTAL CLUES NIGHT IN MANILA MURDER SALVAGE TRIANGLE WITH VARIATIONS SCOURGE OF THE SILVER DRAGON DRINK OR DRAW SHE HERDED HIM AROUND YOU CAN'T FIGHT A WOMAN SHORT-CUT TO HELL If you enjoy this ebook, search your favorite ebook store for «„Wildside Press Megapack“» to see the 170+ entries in the MEGAPACK™ ebook series, covering science fiction, fantasy, horror, mysteries, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!
