Books Update: Strange, Weird, Eerie – Badger Supernatural Stories

Posted on 19th October 2017 by 30CC19th October 2017

*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.

Books Update: A Sett Of Badgers With Added Fox

Posted on 28th September 2016 by 30CC28th September 2016

*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Unlike many farmers and the government, we’re very fond of Badgers – so much so that we have taken in a substantial number of Badger Books. As usual, most are written by Lionel Fanthorpe in various guises (Bron Fane, Lionel Roberts, John E Muller, Pel Torro and Karl Zeigfreid), but The Brain Stealers is written by Murray Leinster. All of the books have distinctive Badger cover art, mostly by Henry Fox, and the grades are mainly in the GD – VG area, although Micro Infinity stands out as a FN/VF copy.

Books Update: Badger, Badger Badger

44_kz_walktttomorroww 44_jem_txmachinew 44_jem_markotbeastw *Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Three more iconic Badger novels hit the shelves (but very gently): ostensibly by two authors, John E Muller and Karl Zeigfreid, but aficianados will know that they are all the work of the prolific Lionel Fanthorpe. All three books are 1st UK PB in grades VG or VG/FN.
