![]() Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more. ![]() Edited by John Pelan, illustrated by Kenneth Waters. This work will be issued in a fine collector's hardcover state, with 24 illustrations. Indeed the intensely driven, idealistic occult investigator John Thunstone could be a pulp/noir stand in for Fox Mulder. The paranoia and cynicism of modern weird icons such as the X-files may well have had their genesis in the pulp musings of Manly Wade Wellman. At the same time, these stories reveal a post World War 2 modernism that make them much more then pulp romanticism. These stories (written between 19) combine the mystical and horrific with traditional southern folk tales and legends. ![]() ![]() Volume 1 (Third Cry to Legba and Other Invocations) collects Wellman’s John Thunstone and Lee Corbet stories. ![]()
