Edgar Hoffmann Price (1898 - 1988) was an American writer of popular fiction (he was a self-titled "fictioneer") for the pulp magazine marketplace. He is probably most famous for his collaboration with H.P. Lovecraft, "Through the Gates of the Silver Key," though he published hundreds of other works.This volume collects 19 of his western and war stories. Note that this volume, as with much pulp fiction of the era, is not politically correct by modern standards. It is a product of its era and should be viewed in that context.Included are: INTRODUCTION, by Shawn Garrett TRIANGLE WITH VARIATIONS NIGHT IN MANILA FOOL'S EPITAPH HASHEESH WISDOM HELL IN DARIEN UNFIT FOR COMMAND CAIRO TANK TROUBLE NAVIGATION SIMPLIFIED SCORCHED EARTH ALLAH MADE THEM AS THEY ARE PASSAGE TO MEKKA FEUD'S END TOO MANY CLIENTS SHE HERDED HIM AROUND DRINK OR DRAW SHORT-CUT TO HELL DESERT JUDGMENT A PAIR OF QUEENS YOU CAN'T FIGHT A WOMAN

Jim Theiss was a real person, who wrote "The Eye of Argon" in all seriousness as a teenager, and published it in a fanzine "Osfan" in 1970. But the story did not pass into the oblivion. Instead, a miracle happened and photocopied texts began to circulate in science fiction circles, gaining an incredulous audience among both professionals and fans.

Frank Belknap (1901-1994)-one of the early masters of fantasy and science fiction, friend of (and collaborator with) H.P. Lovecraft-produced hundreds of novels, short stories, and poems throughout his long and distinguished career. From fantasy and horror in Weird Tales to action-adventure science fiction in Planet Stories and Thrilling Wonder Stories to more "nuts and bolts" science fiction in Astounding Stories, and also work in the romance and mystery fields, his nearly 70-year career is filled with remarkable achievements. He received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement at the 1978 World Fantasy Convention, the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1987 from the Horror Writers of America, and the First Fandom Hall of Fame Award in 1977. This collection presents 20 of his "golden age" pulp science fiction stories, originally published from the 1930s through the 1950s.
