The Grisly Horror, Robert E. Howard

The Grisly Horror by Robert E. Howard is a relentless plunge into Southern Gothic terror—where the dark heart of the Mississippi swamps beats to a rhythm older and more bloodthirsty than any man dares name.

When Bristol McGrath receives a desperate telegram from a long-time enemy invoking the name of the woman he once loved, he returns to the pine-choked wilderness of his youth—only to uncover a nightmare out of Africa's most forbidden jungles. There, in the ruins of an old estate, something monstrous stirs—an ancient cult, a sadistic priest, and a towering beast that should not exist.

A tale of torture, voodoo, vengeance, and survival, The Grisly Horror blends jungle horror with the haunting decay of the Old South. Written with Howard’s trademark ferocity, it’s a blood-soaked battle between man and monstrosity—and the god it serves.

The Open Conspiracy, H. G. Wells

In The Open Conspiracy (1928), visionary author H. G. Wells presents a radical blueprint for reshaping human civilization. Part manifesto, part philosophical treatise, the book proposes that a loosely organized global movement—comprised of scientists, educators, and forward-thinking citizens—can rise above nationalism, capitalism, and religious dogma to establish a rational, cooperative world order. With startling prescience, Wells imagines a future shaped not by revolutions or governments, but by a deliberate, open conspiracy of enlightened minds working for humanity’s common good.

A provocative and ambitious call to action, The Open Conspiracy remains a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century utopian thought—and a strikingly relevant reflection on today’s global challenges.

Henry Goes Prehistoric, W. C. Tuttle

Sheriff Henry Harrison Conroy—vaudevillian-turned-lawman—and his oddball deputies, Judge Van Treece and Oscar the giant Swede, are already considered the "Shame of Arizona." But when a gold-hunting prospector is murdered and a wagon plunges into the depths of Lobo Canyon, Henry finds himself chasing clues through bootleg booze, fossil-hunting professors, and political schemes. In a town where comedy and crime go hand in hand, justice may depend on who survives the hangover—and who remembers the night before.

Originally published in Short Stories (January 25, 1948), this screwball Western mystery blends slapstick humor with frontier grit in true W.C. Tuttle fashion.
