Six thrilling stories from the May/June 1939 issue of STRANGE DETECTIVE MYSTERIES magazine! Presented by BlackMaskMagazine.com and iPulpFiction.com It is quite surprising how many very accomplished authors contributed to Strange Detective Mysteries, and the other weird menace pulps. Of course, there was Hugh B. Cave who specialized in horror, but there was also Bruno Fischer, a regular BlackMask contributor and novelist who wrote as Russell Gray. There was also Prentice Winchell, a very prolific writer who wrote for Black Mask as Stewart Sterling, where he invented the special forces police procedural. Accomplished writers like Sterling, Cave, Fischer, and Schachner wrote brilliant hard-boiled horror tales, a specialty invented in Strange Detective Mysteries. The Crystal Doll Killings by Hugh B. Cave Twice on the merry holiday ski train, bizarre and ghastly death left a heap of broken crystals in place of vibrant living flesh, a warning of the horror that lay ahead—on the excursion to Satan’s ice-locked hideaway! School For Slaughter by Edith and Ejler Jacobson Fifty miles south of the Sing Sing death chamber, a grieving immigrant mother broke free from the clutching pall of fear that gripped New York’s Upper East Side... She talked—and died in a horrible welter of exploding flesh—as Michael December, ace private detective, signed up for a post-graduate course in the School for Slaughter! The Corpse Clinic by Nat Schachner Six hours after death, two judges sat on their benches to pronounce sentence on their murderers... Then they died again. Jerry Sloan knew he could solve these eerie, unearthly crimes, and cut short the slaughter list—if he could bait the invisible killer into striking at himself! Satan’s Jigsaw Factory by Russell Grey Willingly, three wealthy debutantes offered their gorgeous young bodies to the ripping blade of the scalpel killer... And Ethan Burr, practitioner of death, asked only for an invitation to join their last parade—to the charnel house of girls who would never walk again! The Great, Grey Hounds of Death by Chan Corbett Death’s starving pack raced under the Florida moon on the devil’s dog track... and human rabbits baited their fearsome feast-night run! Tomb for the Living Dead by Leon Byrne How could Steve Bennett know he was passing a death sentence on that naked fugitive he sent back inside the soundproof sanitarium walls? NOTE: The new volumes are not reproductions, but new edited and re-typeset preservations of pulp literature from 1927-1951.
