Murgunstrumm and Others
"Murgunstrumm Others" is a huge retrospective collection of the best horror and weird fantasy stories by master Hugh B. Cave. Originally published in the pulp magazines of the 1930s-1950s, this collection includes stories that originally appeared in the magazines "Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror," "Weird Tales," "Spicy Mystery Stories," "Ghost Stories," "Thrilling Mysteries," "Black Book Detective Magazine," "Argosy," "Adventure," "Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine" and "Whispers."
The Cross on the Drum
A strange young man, Barry Clinton. Unlike most young missionaries, who came to the island to save souls, this one had come with a belligerent skepticism and a driving determination to battle sickness and starvation. He had come to the Ile du Vent with a Bible and a few meager medical supplies - ready to make the little Caribbean island a better place in which to live. The Cross on the Drum is the story of the strange friendship of Barry Clinton and Catus Laroche - high priest of vodun, the savage, ritualistic religion which no white man had ever dared defy. It tells of the tormented, embittered passions of the other islanders - white and black - and how they undermined the bond between these two men, changing their mutual respect into brooding, vengeful hatred, and turning the island's drowsy, sunlit tranquility into a feverish, drum-pounding battleground. Hugh B. Cave, whose knowledge and deep understanding of life and customs in the West Indies distinguished his earlier works, Haiti: Highroad to Adventure and Drums of Revolt, has written here an explosive, dramatic novel of Christianity and voodoo on a Caribbean island.
Long Live the Dead
Cave is the last living writer to contribute to Black Mask, which created the private-eye story with tales by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. The book includes new prefaces to each story by the author, an introduction by Keith Allan Deutsch and a Hugh Cave checklist.
