Deep in the strange, macabre darkness of the Maine woods, young Dr. David Kirkland and his fiancée fought a power more ghastly than the epidemic of hydrophobia they had undertaken to wipe out — the unearthly power of the beautiful Nedra Lee, whose pack of soulless, ravening beast-men tore at the flesh of those who dared deny her every whim!…In 1934 a new type of magazine was born. Known by various names — the shudder pulps, mystery-terror magazines, horror-terror magazines — weird menace is the sub-genre term that has survived today. Dime Mystery Magazine magazine was one of the most popular. It came from Popular Publications, whose publisher Harry Steeger was inspired by the Grand Guignol theater of Paris. This breed of pulp story survived less than ten years, but in that time, they became infamous, even to this day. After 1940, Dime Mystery Magazine reverted to more typical mysteries, and relied less upon the grue and gore of the earlier years. This ebook contains a classic story from the pages of Dime Mystery Magazine, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
