Classic science fiction from the creator of the Dumarest saga, this early tale by E.C. Tubb has not been seen since its first appearance in 1952.
Moon of Skulls collects Robert E. Howard's fiction and poetry published in Weird Tales Magazine from October 1929 to November 1930, plus one from Oriental Stories. These works represent literary stepping-stones to Howard's infamous Cthulhu mythos stories and his most famous character of all – Conan the Cimmerian – and ably demonstrate that each of Howard's stories improved and added to his formidable skills as a master of fantasy and adventure. Continuing the collection of Howard's fiction and poetry in order of publication, Volume Two of The Weird Works of Robert E. Howard picks up where Volume One left off – at one of the most startling and controversial Howard stories of all: Skull-Face, a potent combination of gothic themes and oriental mystique!<P> Included in this volume are: «The Gothic Orient,» by Mark Finn (introduction), «Skull-Face,» «Dead Man’s Hate,» «The Fearsome Touch of Death,» «A Song out of Midian,» «Shadows on the Road,» «The Moon of Skulls,» «The Hills of the Dead,» «Black Chant Imperial,» and «The Voice of El-Lil.»<P> Edited by Paul Herman. Cover by Stephen Fabian.

Death comes from both above and below, as the Pacific Northwest is shaken by earthquakes while strange floating figures fill the sky striking terror with their deadly dirge.

June Mallory was seeking a victim. There was something hard and calculating in her eyes as her gaze swept over the crowded tables of the Silent Parrot night club.<P> She was very well known at the club—these last few weeks she had been a constant visitor. Yet she loathed the place. It looked cheap and nasty. Everywhere the paintwork was faded and drab; there were damp patches on the walls, and in many places the distemper was flaking so that it was the ruination of a dress if one stood too near. Yet, for some unknown reason, the Silent Parrot was popular. Society had taken it up. The service charges had leaped to fantastic heights but that only seemed to make the club more popular. Every night money flowed into the Silent Parrot, and because there was money there, June Mallory was a constant visitor.<P> It was her job to seek out men and money.
When Mac tries to help a friend collect an unpaid bill, he gets more than he bargained for…including a corpse! #15 in the Mac detective series. <P> "Mac is one of our best private eyes." – San Francisco Chronicle <P> "Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" – Bill Pronzini <P> "Mac has been called one of the most believable and humane PI's in crime fiction. He is reluctant to use either his gun or his fists, but will do so when the situation demands it, or in self-defense; he doesn't merely solve his clients' cases, but provides moral support and sympathy as well; and perhaps most notable of all, Mac feels, and is not afraid to show itópain, loss, sorrow, loneliness." –thrillingdetective.com
