From the grotesque to the humorous, few writers can match Howard Wandrei for a clever turn of the phrase or telling detail that is capable of transforming even the most mundane occurrence into an event of unspeakable horror or mordantly dark humour. Now for the first time, his work has been brought together in a collection that fantasy readers will treasure for years to come.
Time Burial presents twenty of his best stories from the pages of Weird Tales, Astounding, Spicy Mystery, John Campbell's Unknown, and other venerable pulps, as well as two previously unpublished tales, "Time Burial" and "Tis Claude." They range from the gruesome horror of "Macklin's Little Friend" to the quirky, hard-boiled humour of "The Hexer," from early science fiction stories like "The Other" to classic supernatural horror stories such as "The Hand of the O'Mecca." All are examples of the author at his peak.
