Unique Collection

Having spent much of my time searching out the treasures of the old pulps wherever they may be, I can say that this volume holds some very unique items that have otherwise proven difficult to track down. It is a must for anyone interested in the roots of modern sci fi and horror. Additionally, it looks quite nice upon the shelf with a dust jacket mimicing the visual cover style of the bygone era of pulp.

Great for creepy bedtime stories...

This is a collection of short horror/weird stories orginally published in various pulp magazines from 1920's to 1950's. Some are better than others, but all are very entertaining. The stories are obviously dated, but they give a sense of nostalgia...like sitting in your grandparents' attic and discovering long forgotten treasures that someone once dearly loved. If your into that Lovecraft meets Twilight Zone genre, then you'll love this one.
