"Something is murdering my men."
Thus reads the message received from a Nazi commander stationed in
a small castle high in the remote Transylvanian Alps. Invisible and
silent, the enemy selects one victim per night, leaving the
bloodless and mutilated corpses behind to terrify its future
victims.
When an elite SS extermination squad is dispatched to solve the
problem, the men find something that's both powerful and
terrifying. Panicked, the Nazis bring in a local expert on
folklore--who just happens to be Jewish--to shed some light on the
mysterious happenings. And unbeknownst to anyone, there is another
visitor on his way--a man who awoke from a nightmare and
immediately set out to meet his destiny.
The battle has begun: On one side, the ultimate evil created by
man, and on the other...the unthinkable, unstoppable, unknowing
terror that man has inevitably awakened
A team of experts in each of the ten major Pulp genres, from action
Pulps to spicy Pulps and more, chart for the first time the
complete history of Pulp magazines-the stories and their writers,
the graphics and their artists, and, of course, the publishers,
their market, and readers. Each chapter in the book, which is
illustrated with more than 400 examples of the best Pulp graphics
(many from the Editors' collections-among the world's largest) is
organized in a clear and accessible way, starting with an
introductory overview of the genre, followed by a selection of the
best covers and interior graphics, organized chronologically
through the chapter. All images are fully captioned (many are in
essence "nutshell" histories in themselves). Two special features
in each chapter focus on topics of particular interest (such as
extended profiles of Daisy Bacon, Pulp author and editor of Love
Story, the hugely successful romance Pulp, and of Harry Steeger,
co-founder of Popular Publications in 1930 and originator of the
"Shudder Pulp" genre). With an overall Introduction on "The Birth
of the Pulps" by Doug Ellis, and with two additional chapters
focusing on the great Pulp writers and the great Pulp artists, The
Art of the Pulps covers every aspect of this fascinating genre; it
is the first definitive visual history of the Pulps.

"Paul Wilson and Tracy Carbone have penned a winner. The suspense
is razor sharp and the characters masterfully drawn. Paul Wilson is
at the top of the game, and Tracy Carbone is a welcome addition to
the genre. You'll love The Proteus Cure." - Michael Palmer, NY
Times best selling author of Political Suicide In medical ethics,
the line between right and wrong is often blurred. Who is to decide
what is for the good of humanity? Changing the world. One person at
a time... That is the mission statement of Tethys Hospital, run by
Dr. Bill Gilchrist and his deformed sister, Abra. VG723, their
revolutionary stem-cell-based therapy, appears to be capable of
doing just that for the cancer patients who come to Tethys. VG723
is often their last hope. But if they match the protocol, they're
virtually guaranteed a cure. Dr. Sheila Takamura, a young,
dedicated oncologist, is proud to be involved in the clinical
trials. Once the FDA approves it for widespread use, VG723 will
revolutionize cancer therapy. That is why she's alarmed when former
patients return with bizarre syndromes. Yes, they're cancer free,
but they're experiencing dramatic changes in their hair and skin
and general appearance. When she investigates a possible link to
the protocol, those patients start dying. As the body count grows,
Sheila finds her own life in danger. She comes to suspect there
might be a literal meaning behind the Tethys motto - but can she
learn the truth in time to save herself and millions of others?
"Wilson is one of the masters of the medical thriller." - Larry
