Creeping to you from Becky Books!
The so-called “shudder pulps” of the 1930s enticed Depression-era readers into dark alleys of weird menace, ghastly gore, terrifying torture, and too-hot-to-handle horror until being shuttered by a virulent movement of puritanism to clean up newsstands. Today, Shudder Stories harkens back to those “Dirty Thirties” to resurrect the grim ghost of those bygone days of shock and awe.
Brian K. Morris also offers up “They Call My Name,” a short shocker of a man who awakens to his name being called in the middle of the night, a siren scream that leads him down into a nightmare of fear and loathing, not to mention a baffling mystery with no solution in sight.
Then, in “The Infernum Affair,” Frank Schildiner tells the terrifying tale of a dastardly evil-doer dead set on destroying twenty-three lives to gain a fiendish foothold on his lust for power, and the one offbeat occult-fueled mystery man who may be able to stop him.
Join these passionate pulp scribes in their haunts of horror, but be prepared to be terrorized, titillated, and perhaps not a little toughened by the ordeals that lay before you—Shudder Stories pulls no punches in its headlong drive over the edge of sanity…and into madness!
