James Reasoner announced this morning that Weird Menace Volume 1 is now for sale. Electronic copies are $2.99 and paper copies are $9.99. Volume 2 will follow soon. Look for an announcement here when it does.
Here’s an excerpt from the introduction along with the table of contents.
The Weird Menace pulps flourished for less than a decade, from the mid-1930s to the early ’40s, but while they were popular, they delivered adventure, excitement, and spine-tingling thrills in quantities rarely seen before or since. Mad scientists, deranged henchmen, damsels in distress, and stalwart heroes raced through their pages in breathless, over-the-top, never-ending action. A good Weird Menace yarn really is just one damned thing after another.
Rough Edges Press asked some of today’s best authors of popular fiction to write Weird Menace stories, and they delivered. Settle back and let us spin a few yarns for you…
But keep an eye out behind you. You never know when something might be sneaking up on you.
Stories in this volume include:
“Bodies for the Brain Butcher” by John C. Hocking
“A Night on Madhouse Mountain” by Bill Crider
“The Curse of the Monster Makers!” by Scott Dennis Parker
“Farmhouse of the Dead” by Keith West

“Blood Treasure for Satan’s Buccaneers” by James Reasoner
I will grab it soon!
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Very cool Keith!
And John Hocking! He has one of those lost Conan novels I’d like to read someday!
Just ordered that’s a great deal!
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy all the stories. I’ve only had a chance to read one other than mine (Robert E. Vardeman’s), and I really liked it.
