The Red Finger Pulp Mystery Megapack


Book Description

12 tales of the masked hero, as he smashes his way through spy-rings and other fiendish plots to destroy America! In the spy vs. spy world of the late 1930s, this masked hero prowled the underworld, dressed in an "amorphous fluttering black robe, bat-like, [with] a gray-masked head through whose twin eye-slits menace glinted." But it was not so much the costume as the "hand, ebony-black in its glove--but for the finger curled around the trigger of that gun. That finger was not black but vividly, awesomely scarlet." (From "Caged Horror.") Powerful stuff in those days! Included in this volume: SECOND-HAND DEATH DEATH RIDES THE SOUND RED FINGER -- DEATH DEALER CAGED HORROR DEATH'S RED FINGER RED FINGER MEETS HIS MATCH RED FINGER -- SPY POISON! LOCKED IN WITH DEATH DEATH'S TOY SHOP ENVOY OF DOOM THE SPY WHO SOLD DEATH RED FINGER'S MURDER MESSENGER A note to the culturally sensitive: Some of these stories contain elements of "yellow peril" racism. This series originally appeared in the Operator #5 pulp magazine between 1934 and 1938. They are products of their era and are definitely NOT politically correct by today's standards. You have been warned!

The Nella Larsen MEGAPACK®


Book Description

Nella Larsen (1891–1964) was an author of mixed race who wrote from the 1920s through 1930.

Her small literary output—just two novels and three short stories—achieved critical acclaim in its day, though commercial success escaped her. Over the last few decades, her work has been rediscovered, and how she is considered not only an important Black writer, but an early modernist.
