Here is another exciting collection of brand new stories from such
masters of science fiction and fantasy as Barrington Bayley, John
Russell Fearn, Philip E. High and Dan Morgan, and other top writers
well known to followers of FANTASY ANNUAL, now in its fifth year of
publication!
On a train trip to Scotland with his chief clerk Martin Lee, London
financier Morgan Dale is suddenly confronted by his embittered
ex-Secretary, whom he's recently sacked. Janice Elton had once been
obsessed with him, but the happily married Dale had spurned her
romantic advances. Now, Janice wants her revenge. Returning to
their carriage, Lee finds Dale alone with the dead body of Janice,
whom Dale claims has committed suicide by taking strychnine. With
the situation incriminating Dale, Lee advises him to remove any
identification and throw the girl's body from the train. But when
the police eventually identify her and come to believe she's been
murdered, Lee begins to blackmail Dale. And then there's only One
Way Out....
SF Author Stanley G. Weinbaum died from cancer at 33, in December
1935. Short though his career was, his scientific imagination,
smooth characterization, and humor completely revolutionized the
field, and profoundly influenced his contemporaries. Among his many
imitators was English writer John Russell Fearn. Although Fearn's
own distinctive work was very popular, he wanted to increase his
number of acceptances by writing under pseudonyms--Thornton Ayre
and Polton Cross--with a change of style imitating Weinbaum These
exciting and highly entertaining pastiches, first published in such
magazines as Astounding Stories and Thrilling Wonder Stories, are
here collected for the very first time in book form, with
fascinating historical background notes. The first of two must-have
volumes for collectors, the second being VALLEY OF PRETENDERS.
