Redfury's Weird Tales pulp collection

[Pat Calhoun]

To say that Two-Gun knocked it out of the park with 'Pigeons From Hell' is massive understatement. With a good telescope you can still see that ball speeding through space.

Dang Todd, how many WT's do you have??!!! Love seeing these!!

 

Over 100 now, and I'm actively adding more to my collection and upgrading. Glad you're enjoying them, David!

Ever see the 1961 adaptation as an episode of Boris Karloff's Thriller?

I haven't read Pigeons From Hell yet, but I'll check it out. It's in The Best of Robert E. Howard Volume 2: Grim Lands compilation. Thanks for the tip, Pat!

 

I've been reading a lot of Howard lately, some for the first time. Last night I read Valley of the Worm. The opening paragraph grabbed me and sucked me in, and away we went!

 

"I will tell you of Niord and the Worm. You have heard the tale before

in many guises wherein the hero was named Tyr, or Perseus, or

Siegfried, or Beowulf, or Saint George. But it was Niord who met the

loathly demoniac thing that crawled hideously up from hell, and from

which meeting sprang the cycle of hero-tales that revolves down the

ages until the very substance of the truth is lost and passes into the

limbo at all forgotten legends. I know whereof I speak, for I was

Niord."
