Description

by Maxwell Hawkins
Introduction by John Locke

Two weird detective novelettes from Detective-Dragnet Magazine. “Cult of the Corpses” (January 1931) puts a detective on the trail of a murderous voodoo cult operating out of a Manhattan nightclub. “Dealers in Death” (July 1931) pits a detective against the machinations of the insidious Mr. Letherius, a contract killer who specializes in bizarre and undetectable forms of murder.

These are early (and entertaining) examples of the early ’30s trend toward weird detective stories. Included is a detailed discussion of the trend; and a profile of author Maxwell Hawkins.

Stories complete with original illustrations.
