When you're a writer who's been doing it for over 60 years,
traveling to exotic places for research, meeting interesting people
for interviews and letting your mind wander wherever the hell it
wants, you end up with a lot of stories, just as Richard A. Lupoff
has done -- in spades. This 280-page volume contains the first four
dozen of the tales that Dick Lupoff has written down for us.
There's even a few pictures. If you've enjoyed the novels, short
stories and non-fiction masterpieces that he's written over the
years, here's your chance to find out what was going on behind the
scenes.

Now that you've dipped your toe into the raging torrent of Richard
A. Lupoff's life as an inkslinger with WRITER Volume 1, it's time
for 320 more pages of memoir, criticism, interview, and sheer
literary joy. This time he tackles SF controversies, gives a speech
or two, and dishes out some of the most intriguing gossip about the
good ol' days of SF.
John Pelan knows what he's talking about when he gets into the
shudder pulps. Last year we came out with SATAN'S SIN HOUSE and
Other Stories, the first volume in the Weird Tales of Wayne Rogers
series and here we have the second volume. John's introduction to
this book tells you even more about Rogers the writer and prepares
you for yet even more volumes in this series. Here are the stories
that await you in volume 2: Daughters of Pain, Dime Mystery
Magazine, November 1934 Killer Blood for Sale, Dime Mystery
Magazine, November 1936 Doom Flowers, Terror Tales, May 1935 Satan
Stole my Face, Horror Stories, February/March 1936 Hell Welcomes

In this original horror novel by Gary Lovisi, set in modern-day
Louisiana, the local townsfolk and law-enforcers are confronted
with the powers of evil and the horrors that are resurrected.
Edmund Snell wrote an almost uncountable number of stories for the
pulps, many of them about exotic climes like Borneo. THE BACK OF
BEYOND is considered to be the best -- and the hardest to find --
of his Borneo sagas. In it, real people battle the problems of life
in the wild and untamed, including the native people. This is a
classic of the genre, and a must-have for every serious collector's
library. This edition contains an almost-complete bibliography of
Edmund Snell's novels and novellas, compiled by John Pelan, who
writes the introduction.

Back in the 60s and 70s writer Richard A. Lupoff knew his SF. He
knew it so well he put out two books called WHAT IF? each
consisting of stories that were eligible for Hugo awards and in his
opinion should have won. He had a third volume in this fascinating
series ready to go, but technical problems caused it to never see
the light of day -- until now. Here it is, the legendary third
volume in the WHAT IF? series, personally introduced by Richard A.
Lupoff. The stories are: LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS - 1966 Bob Shaw THE
STAR-PIT - 1967 Samuel R. Delany THE BARBARIAN - 1968 Joanna Russ
SUNDANCE - 1969 Robert Silverberg THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR DEATH AND
OTHER STORIES - 1970 Gene Wolfe VASTER THAN EMPIRES AND MORE SLOW -
1971 Ursula K. Le Guin PAINWISE - 1972 James Tiptree, Jr. MY
BROTHER LEOPOLD - 1973 Edgar Pangborn
Written in 1924, this may be the first exotic thriller written by
Edmund Snell, who again takes us into the exotic jungles of Borneo
in THE CRIMSON BUTTERFLY. This novel tells a weird tale of
hypnotism and sorcery, and features a mysterious insect whose sting
is death to man, and whose wings look like pieces of raw beef. It
takes all the wiles and courage of the English officials, the
natives, and a visiting professor and his daughter, to get beyond
the superstition surrounding the Butterfly and to track it to its
lair
Written in 1932, this was a controversial novel because of the
frankness of its depictions of a morgue. Nowadays it's a real
curiosity because of the way the characters obsess about alcohol.
There are many parallels between the prohibition-era America and
the situation we find ourselves in with marijuana and this book
brings them out.
SOMEWHERE IN SPACE is Volume One of John pelan's new series of
novellas and stories by C.C. MacApp. It contains ten stories from
the 60s by this traditional SF author who blazed so brilliantly
then died too soon. The stories are: The Mercurymen, Galaxy
Magazine, December 1965 Tulan, Galaxy Magazine, For Every Action,
Amazing Stories3, May 1964 Trees Like Torches, Worlds of Tomorrow,
May 1966 A Pride of Islands, If, May, 1960 The Fortunes of Peace,

Earthly Remains, If, July 1962 Somewhere in Space, Worlds of
Tomorrow, November1964
Francis James was known for writing novella-length potboilers as
headliners for various pulp magazines back in the 30s and John
Pelan has collected a few of his best. No one could write
preposterous weird menace tales like Francis James and these will
prove it: Mark of the Laughing Death, Dime Mystery Magazine,
November 1936 Monster's Death Song, Terror Tales, December 1935
Slaves of the Midnight Caverns, Dime Mystery Magazine, July 1937
Arms of the Flame Goddess, Dime Mystery Magazine, April 1938 The
Women Who Killed for Satan, Horror Stories June/July 1939 The
Unwelcome Dead, Terror Tales, July 1935 Brides for the Half-Men,
Sinister Stories, February 1940 Merry Christmas from the Dead, Dime

It all starts with a stroke of incredibly good luck --
Detective-Inspector Bobby Owen and his wife, Olive, find an almost
perfect home in the country to rent. But then they meet the
neighbors, including Miss Bellamy, whose piano stylings seem to
affect everyone in the village, and Mr. Fielding, whose manic
cheerfulness makes everyone nervous. The music brings everyone out
at night, and murder follows close behind.

Tiffany Thayer, who was prominent in the Fortean Society, wrote
many unusual novels in the first half of the 20th century but
DOCTOR ARNOLDI is one of the most elusive. Now, for the first time
since its initial publication in 1934, it's available. The story is
an old one -- what happens when death is defeated -- but no one has
ever written about it as Thayer has.
The word may be getting out that Day Keene, author of those great
noir novels of the 40s and 50s, also wrote a lot of stories for the
pulps -- and that John Pelan and Ramble House are bringing all of
them back for re-reading. Many of these stories were written during
WWII and you can tell emotions are burning. Here are the stories in
this fifth volume of the series: A Corpse Walks in
Brooklyn-Detective Tales, October 1945 The Stars Say Die -Detective
Tales November 1941 Herr Yama from Yokohoma-Ace G-Man February 1943
Seven Keys to Murder-Dime Mystery, September 1944 I'll Be Seeing
You-Dime Mystery, November 1946 Three Dead Mice-Flynn's, March 1944
A Corpse for Cinderella-Dime Mystery May 1945 Claws of the Hell
Cat-Dime Mystery, January 1946
