The Second Golden Age of Mystery & Crime MEGAPACK ®: Ruth Chessman by Ruth Chessman Pdf
I first encountered Ruth Chessman's work when browsing back issues of Manhunt magazine--and I was immediately intrigued. Manhunt was a noir/hardboiled digest-sized mystery magazine, and female bylines were uncommon. A quick check showed that she also published stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as well as a 1965 middle-grade novel called "Bound for Freedom," which was adapted as a movie. She must have instilled her love of crime writing in her family, since her daughter turns out to be none other than mystery writer Jane K. Cleland -- who was kind enough to grant us permission to reprint her late mother's work. (Jane also supplied us with copies of hard-to-find stories.) Ruth Chessman was a very good, if far too infrequent writer. This collection assembles most of her published short fiction. Included are: ACCUSED THE SEARCH FOR A DEAD MAN'S BODY MURDER -- EARLY AMERICAN POOR SHERM THE HARRINGTON FARTHING IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE? THE PERFECT HUSBAND SILENTLY, SILENTLY THE CRIME THAT DID NOT FOLLOW If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 260+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!

The Robert E. Howard Rare Tales MEGAPACK® by Robert E. Howard Pdf
This collection is meant to supplement the many other collections of Howard material being released. Due to the complex copyright rules in the United States, a substantial body of REH material remains in the public domain -- even as we approach the 90th anniversary of his passing. As a result, many of the stories in this book cannot be republished in the United States without an often-costly license from the current copyright holders. This makes for incomplete collections of public domain works, many of which leave these stories out. Here, then, are six tales of Conan, a Solomon Kane story, a Sailor Steve Costigan story, plus a Western and a horror story: THE PHOENIX ON THE SWORD (Conan) THE SCARLET CITADEL (Conan) THE TOWER OF THE ELEPHANT (Conan) BLACK COLOSSUS (Conan) THE POOL OF THE BLACK ONE (Conan) ROGUES IN THE HOUSE (Conan) SEA CURSE (Steve Costigan) THE FOOTFALLS WITHIN (Solomon Kane) VULTURES’ SANCTUARY (Western) PIGEONS FROM HELL (horror) If you enjoy this volume in Wildside Press's bestselling MEGAPACK® series, check out the 400+ other volumes in the series, covering science fiction, fantasy, horror, mysteries, westerns...and much, much more!
