THERE'S MORE!

The Weird Tales Story

Robert E. Howard. H.P. Lovecraft. Clark Ashton Smith. Seabury Quinn. If there were a Mt. Rushmore of the Weird, these four deserve a place on it. Their stories graced the pages of many pulp magazines but none more so than Weird Tales.

The Pulp Hero Press version of the Weird Tales Story is the third edition of the book. As the definitive history of Weird Tales, it nearly twice the size of the original and expands upon the story of “The Unique Magazine” and its many authors, artists, and editors.

Welcome to the Big Time

The Black Destroyer, Earnie Shavers. His hands—like howitzers, his opponents called them, once they dragged themselves back onto their feet. Muhammad Ali felt the power of that punch and considered himself fortunate to leave the ring still champion.

Shavers tells his life story, from racist vigilantes in the South to thugs and killers in his hometown of Cleveland, and from his race from two-bit boxing bouts in small towns to Madison Square Garden. Ring the bell.

Western Weirdness and Voodoo Vengeance

When you think of Robert E. Howard, you think of Conan the Barbarian, his greatest creation. But you should also think of the many more stories that Howard in other genres, including the weird.

Howard scholar Fred Blosser has written numerous books about REH’s fiction. In Western Weirdness and Voodoo Vengeance, he steps out of the Hyborian Age and into the early 20th century to whisper of the horrors lurking on Howard’s backroads and in his backwoods.
