Book Description
The pulp magazines of the early to mid 20th Century are often "politically incorrect" by modern standards. However, the "Spicy" magazines -- Spicy-Adventure Stories, Spicy Mystery, Spicy Western, etc. -- were politically incorrect by their own contemporary standards as well. With the occasional passing glimpse of a creamy-smooth thigh (or other womanly part!), and often filled with sexism, racism, and over-the-top plots and language, they nevertheless manage to titillate with more innuendo than anything else. If you find such things offensive, this is definitely not the right MEGAPACK™ for you. But if you enjoy the occasional stroll down the back alleys of pulp publishing, here's a walk on the seamy side of the 1930s! Included are: THE SHANGHAI JESTER, by Robert Leslie Bellem BLACK MURDER, by Carl Moore SUEZ SOUVENIR, by Jerome Hyams THE HOUSE OF WEIRD SLEEP, by Charles R. Allen CAVE OF THE CRISS-CROSS KNIVES, by C.C. Spruce HOT BLOOD, by Arthur Wallace THE MOON GOD TAKES, by Robert Leslie Bellem SMUGGLER’S ISLAND, by Atwater Culpepper TALISMAN OF DOOM, by James W.

Book Description
Aliens have been a major theme in science fiction literature from the very beginnings of the genre...though they seem to have morphed over the decades from humanoids (six-limbed and blue though they might be!) to the utterly incomprehensible to noncorporeal energy beings -- and everything in between! This collection focuses on aliens as depicted in many different forms over many different decades. While in no way comprehensive -- I'm not sure a "definitive" book of alien stories could ever be assembled -- we think this one is, at the very least, a lot of fun. Included are: THROUGH MUD ONE PICKS A WAY, by Tim Sullivan LABORATORY, by Jerome Bixby BEULAH, by Talmage Powell ALIEN STILL LIFE, by John Gregory Betancourt DEAD RINGER, by Lester del Rey ESCAPE TO EARTH, by Manly Banister LESSON IN SURVIVAL, by Frank Belknap Long SCIENTIFIC METHOD, by Chad Oliver THE BEES OF DEATH, by Robert Moore Williams THE BIG FIX, by Richard Wilson THE CARNIVORE, by Katherine MacLean THE LARGE ANT, by Howard Fast "THIS WORLD IS OURS!" by Emil Petaja RAINBOW JADE, by Gardner E.

Edward Wellen (1919-2011) was a writer primarily of short stories, most in the mystery genre.

This MEGAPACKTM collects 25 of his best tales from those early years...plus a few later tales as well. Included are: SEVEN DAY'S WONDER BUFFOON CHECKMATE WITH AH!
