E. Hoffmann Price was one of the “Weird Tales Circle” that included H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Clark Ashton Smith. In fact, he was the only person to meet both Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft in person. The stories collected here span multiple genres and multiple decades: detective, western, adventure, and fantasy. The one thing they have in common (aside from some mildly titillating content) is the sure voice of a born storyteller. Once you start reading an E. Hoffmann Price story, you won't put it down. The introduction by Darrell Schweitzer, which leads off the collection, provides a lot more information on Ed’s work for the “Spicy” magazines…though quite tame by modern standards, they were considered quite risque in their day.
