Golden Age of Weird Fiction MEGAPACK- Vol. 1-4+6 (ePUB+MOBI)

Wildside Press is launching a new line of MEGAPACK™ ebook anthologies focusing on 20th Century masters of Weird Fiction. We are pleased to lead off with a new selection of tales by Henry S. Whitehead, famed Weird Tales contributor, who penned dozens of stories over the course of his career, many of them with a West Indies theme. His tales of "jumbees" (zombies) represent some of the earliest zombie stories in literature.



George T. Wetzel (1921-1983) was, for decades, the leading researcher into the life and works of H.P. Lovecraft. His scholarly essays (which Wildside Press is working on collecting) appeared in numerous books and magazines from the 1940s through the 1970s. All the time he dabbled in writing weird fiction on his own, but never pursued it beyond the occasional contribution to a small press anthology or fan-produced magazine. Like his idol, H.P. Lovecraft, he dabbled in the art. We are pleased to include a fine selection of almost all of his fiction.



Emil Petaja (1915 – 2000) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer whose career spanned seven decades. He was the author of 13 published novels, nearly 150 short stories, numerous poems, and a handful of books and articles on various subjects. Though he wrote science fiction, fantasy, horror stories, detective fiction, and poetry, Petaja considered his work part of an older tradition of “weird fiction.” You can find echoes not only of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard in his work, but previous generations of weird authors such as Poe, Blackwood, and E.F. Benson. This volume includes 10 stories and a poem.



Nictzin Wilstone Dyalhis (1873 – 1942) was an American chemist and short story writer who specialized in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. He wrote as Nictzin Dyalhis. During his lifetime he attained a measure of celebrity as a writer for the pulp fiction magazine Weird Tales. This volume collects 6 of his stories from The Unique Magazine, plus one from Argosy.
