Death Stalks the Night

Eighteen grisly novelettes & short stories by World Fantasy Award winner Hugh B. Cave have been collected as DEATH STALKS THE NIGHT & appropriately illustrated by the classic pulp artist Lee Brown Coye. The jacket art is by Alan M. Clark. "In the 1930s - primarily led by Dime Mystery Magazine, Terror Tales & Horror Stories, but with a ghastly host of imitators - generally known as weird menace pulps. They might as well have been called splatterpulps. These stories were calculatedly gothic & grisly. No pretensions of art - just go for the throat. An old dark house, a mad fiend on the loose & twisted henchman on hand, beautiful & barely clad girls being tortured, a two-fisted hero to the rescue, plenty of heaving alabaster bosoms & mangled bodies, mile-a-minute thrills & pulse- pounding action... Fun, but not politically correct." "The wildest & weirdest menacer of them all was Hugh B. Cave...And you'd best not lull yourself into believing that Hugh B. Cave will always follow the formula. He knows a lot of fiendish tricks."--Karl Wagner, from his introduction. Available through Baker & Taylor, Dreamhaven Books, or directly from the Publisher.Cave, Hugh B. is the author of 'Death Stalks the Night', published 1995 under ISBN 9781878252173 and ISBN 1878252178.
