THE YEAR WHEN STARDUST FELL by Raymond F. Jones Mayfield was the typical college town. Nothing too unusual ever happened there until a mysterious comet was suddenly observed by the scientists on College Hill. And then one day the modified engine on Ken Maddox's car began overheating mysteriously. By morning it didn't run at all. Art's Garage was soon so full of cars that wouldn't run, that Ken's science club began working in the garage after school. It didn't take long for the club to discover that all the moving parts on these stalled cars had fused together. Soon all machinery had stopped in Mayfield. The copper-yellow glow of the comet seemed to have brought the whole world to a grinding halt. Airplanes, trains, generators and heavy machinery were immobilized. Finally man was left with only a few primitive tools. In the resulting chaos parts of Mayfield were burned and looted by hunger-crazed mobs that stole and killed as they advanced. Here is science fiction at its thrilling best. A startling and thought-provoking book that shows how human nature might react to catastrophe. |

SIMON BOLIVAR GRIMES, OUTLAW by E. Hoffman Price
He had a coffin-shaped face, and like the thoroughbred he rode, his legs were
long; but while the horse was graceful as a panther, the rider was gangling,
slightly stooped, and his oversized hands did not know what to do with
themselves when he dismounted at the hitching rack in front of Squint Eye
Morgan’s Sabine Palace, a dive so named because of its proximity to the river
which separates Texas and Louisiana. A .45 single action Colt was awkwardly
strapped to his thigh, and its owner looked as though he must have picked a
lucky day for his very recent first shave, otherwise he would have cut his own
throat; yet somehow, he did not stumble over the hand-hewn planks as he strode
to the bar. Squint Eye Morgan winked broadly when the boy piped, “Whiskey, if
yo’ please, suh.” Then, voice suddenly going bass, he boomed like a yearling
bull, “I’m Simon Bolivar Grimes, suh, lookin’ fo’ my uncle’s ranch in Crockett
County in the next day or two.”
And that is our introduction to Simon Bolivar Grimes, E. Hoffman Price's answer to Robert E. Howard's Breckenridge Elkins.
While both Mountain Men were able to get themselves into a whole peck of trouble,
Price's Grimes also had the ladies to take care of, in the Spicy manner!
This collection of 13 stories include 11 from Spicy Western Stories, and
one each from Speed Western Stories and Fighting Western.
Each story is fully illustrated with the original pulp magazine's artwork.

Apparently paying homage to Thorne Smith and "Topper", Charles F. Myer (real name Charles H. Myers) wrote a series of stories starring Toffee, a dream girl in the strictest sense of the word: she resided in Marc Pillsworth's mind. She also existed in the real world whenever she could escape Marc's subconscious. The Toffee stories are pure fantasy, are fun to read, and are a bit mischievous and spicy. Myers went on, under the pen name of Henry Farrell, to write "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" and "What Ever Happened to Cousin Charlotte?", both made into hit motion pictures. All ten Toffee stories are contained in this volume and all of the original illustrations from the pulps and digest magazines where the stories first appeared are included. From Pulpville Press.

JOHN THORNDYKE'S CASES by R. Austin Freeman
In a league of contemporaries (Sherlock Holmes and Craig Kennedy), Dr. John Thorndyke is certainly the dean of the omniscientist sleuth. In these eight adventures he is at his best. Scarcely has he arrived at Little Sundersley but he notes the telltale footprints on the sand, one set made by a short fisherman in thigh boots and the other by a bowlegged and pigeon-toed person carrying a heavy burden on his back; all this helps in saving the life of an innocent butterfly collector. Then you get the sinister inhabitant of lavender Cottage, an art robbery, the blue sequin, the Moabit cipher, the mandarin's pearl, the aluminum dagger and so forth. This is the second volume in the Dr. Thorndyke Series. From Pulpville Press.
