The Loved Dead and Other Tales
This second collection of C. M. Eddy, Jr.'s thirteen short stories showcases his Weird Tales creations together with a variety of other tales from that era. Taken from the original handwritten manuscripts, they demonstrate the diversity and range he displayed as an author. The thirteen stories in this volume run the gamut from horror - "The Loved Dead" to detective mystery – "Sign of the Dragon" to the supernatural – "Deaf, Dumb and Blind" to name a few. Many are reprinted together here for the first time since they graced the pages of the pulp magazines back in the early part of the 20th century.
