*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re delighted to have new in 8 of Badger’s Supernatural Stories. The series ran from 1954 to 1967 and was mainly written by Robert Lionel Fanthorpe and John Glasby, using a variety of pseudonyms. Each book was rigidly written to have 45,000 words, leading to some incongruous instances of padding or extremely rapid plot resolutions, depending on how close the author got to the target. A mere £22.50 was paid for each book, so the publishers got what they paid for! Most issues resemble pulps, having several short stories instead of one novel; these are listed under the editor’s ‘name’, John S Manning (actually Maurice Nahum), while single story issues are listed by author. Each comes with a lurid cover, usually courtesy of Henry Fox. Just a few titles to whet your appetite – enough to show that they lived up to their slogan – Centurion’s Vengeance (SN 49), The Phantom Ones (SN 48) and The Sorcerers Of Bast (SN 31). We also have the last in the series, SN 109, which has as its feature story The Thing In The Mist by Max Chartair.
