"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.

Suddenly, a family physician can heal any illness with a simple
touch
After a dozen years of practicing medicine as a family physician,
Dr. Alan Bulmer discovers one day that he can cure any illness with
the mere touch of his hand. At first his scientific nature refuses
to accept what is happening to him, but there is no rational
explanation to be found. So Alan gives himself over to this
mysterious power, reveling in the ability to cure the incurable, to
give hope to the hopeless--for one hour each day.
Although he tries to hide his power, word inevitably leaks out, and
soon Alan's life begins to unravel. His marriage and his practice
crumble. Only rich, beautiful, enigmatic Sylvia Nash stands by him.
And standing with her is Ba, her Vietnamese gardener, who once
witnessed a power such as Dr. Bulmer's in his homeland, where it is
called Dat-tay-vao. And the Dat-tay-vao always comes with a price.
Help arrives from an unexpected quarter--Senator James McCready
offers the use of his family's medical foundation to investigate
Alan's supposed power. If it truly exists, he will back Alan with
the full weight of the Foundation's international reputation.
Feeling that he has reached bottom and that things can only get
better, Alan accepts McCready's offer. But he has only begun to
pay.

"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

After vowing never to return, Kara Wade is back in New York
City. She's come to claim the body of her twin sister Kelly, and to
find out how she died. No secret as to the cause of death--a nearly
nude, twelve-story plunge from a room in the Plaza Hotel--but Kara
is determined to learn what led to that plunge.
Enlisting the help of an old lover, now an NYPD detective, Kara
delves into her sister's life. Startling and bizarre facts begin to
surface. Instead of answers, Kara finds more questions. Who was the
stranger Kelly became during the months prior to her death? What
was behind the perverse, decadent lifestyle she came to embrace so
passionately?
Kelly's psychiatrist hints at a terrible secret in her past. But
Kara shares that past with her twin. Is the sinister influence that
drove Kelly into her bizarre double life about to overtake Kara as
well? "Sibs "is F. Paul Wilson's most daring, most erotic, most
deeply terrifying novel.
