Names in the Black Book: A Short Story, Post-1930, Pulp Classic By Robert E. Howard! AAA+++

This opening tale introduces us to the character of Steve Harrison, as he finds himself ensconced in a murder mystery involving a character that has seemingly returned from the dead. Having to protect a woman from this "undead" criminal mastermind, he teams up with a wanted man--perhaps even more dangerous than the villain himself! A good, pulpy story that's a little heavy on the Yellow Menace for my tastes, but those were the times. With murder plots, extreme violence, secret passages and poisons designed to drive you mad, there's plenty here to hold your interest.
