Classic pulp crime thrillers from the 1940s and 1950s. In their time, the Hank Janson novels, with their sleazy covers and no-holds-barred tales, were a guilty pleasure for millions of readers, but incurred the wrath of the establishment! This anthology of ultra-rarities reprints the first three Hank Janson novellas - When Dames Get Tough, Scarred Faces and Kitty Takes The Rap - which initially appeared in 1946 over two volumes (with the latter two collected together under the Scarred Faces title). Literally only a handful of copies of the original editions now survive. Also included in this Telos anthology, as a bonus, are two Hank Janson short stories from the scarce Underworld magazine.
Lee Shelton is a man with a tragic past and a deeply troubled present. Framed for a murder he didn't commit, forced to kidnap and chain up a beautiful passer-by - who turns out to be a millionairess - in order to avoid capture, and with a broken hypodermic needle buried in his festering arm, he finds events conspiring against him. Will he be able to get out from under all these problems, or is a lengthy prison sentence - or even death - what fate has in store for him? This Telos edition of Frails Can Be So Tough reinstates the previously-unpublished original cover artwork by Reginald Heade, which was censored when the novel first appeared in 1951. Includes an introduction by pulp historian and writer Steve Holland.

Hank Janson's chance meeting with a beautiful female hitchhiker, Cora Tanter, is just the start of a thrilling tale involving an elderly archaeologist, his rich but suicidal young wife, and a haul of valuable Roman artefacts. And just who is the mysterious figure making repeated attempts to assassinate Hank himself? Add to this the complications of his on-off relationship with Chicago Chronicle colleague Sheila Lang, and Hank really has his work cut out this time! This reissue from Telos Publishing, complete with Reginald Heade's stunning original cover artwork, brings back into print, for the first time in decades, one of the books that featured heavily in the infamous Hank Janson obscenity trials of the 1950s.
Unable to cope with the death of his girlfriend, Londoner Michael Roberts tries to find comfort in memories of another time and another place when he was in love for the first time. But that first time was as a schoolboy in Belfast, at the start of The Troubles in the late 1960s, and in a culture dominated by divides that weren’t just sectarian. To his surprise and increasing anguish his memories—long buried—prove elusive, so that finding out what had really happened and why it got suppressed becomes more and more of an obsession. As Michael gradually uncovers forgotten truths he starts to learn something that challenges everything he ever knew about himself and the person he has become. Frances Creighton: Found and Lost is a deeply felt first novel that conveys the pain of late adolescence in a community where school and religion add more layers of cruelty to the underlying instability of daily life and Northern Irish politics.
