Флетчер Флора - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

Fletcher Flora enjoyed a long career as a pulp fiction and mystery writer, and among his works we discovered a number of «daring» (for the time – they are quite modest by modern standards) novels of lesbian love (some with crime elements). All were published as paperback originals from somewhat-less-than-respectable publishing companies – Strange Sisters in 1954 and Desperate Asylum in 1955 from Lion Books, and Take Me Home in 1959 from Monarch. If you like your pulp fiction on the steamier side, this is the ebook for you. Included are: Strange Sisters (1954)
Desperate Asylum (1955)
Take Me Home (1959) If you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see the 200+ other entries in the series, covering science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!

The wayward beauty who comes back to her old hometown to titillate her ex-boyfriend (now a married lawyer) and to blackmail her ex-husband is ripe bait for murder. And murder is just what she gets. Suspicion falls heaviest on the old flame and not on the discarded husband – for very obvious reasons. At the time of the lady's demise, the lawyer was out of his legal mind, befuddled by a number of those potent concoctions known around the cocktail table as gimlets. In the second place, he was squarely on the scene of the crime.... Fortunately, his wife believes him. When her husband is carted off to jail, whe sets out to prove him…

Welcome to The Seventh Ghost Story MEGAPACK®! Once more we have a wide-ranging assortment of supernatural fiction, with setting across the world – Europe, the Americas, Asia – and across the centuries. You will note that we have a larger than normal number of «Anonymous» stories. No, the authors weren't embarrassed by their contributions. Victorian-era literary magazines and newspapers often ran fiction without crediting the author, or with only vague terms like «A Lady,» initials, or humorous pseudonyms (as with the story by “Q.E.D.” in this volume). Authors later collected their stories in books, and that's when readers discovered who had actually written what. If a story never got reprinted, its author remained a mystery. Modern scholars are still researching these anonymous stories, but many authors will never be properly identified. This time we include: BEAUTIFUL DREAMER, by R.A. Lafferty
FROM THE TOMB, by Guy De Maupassant
THE VENGEANCE OF A TREE, by Eleanor F. Lewis

A classic crime story originally published in the August, 1953 issue of Manhunt.

Middleweight fighter Jackie Brand wasn't going anywhere as a boxer, but he needed money to keep Peg happy. Then he got an offer to throw a fight…

Three ambitious men had three things in common. Each was called Curly. Each aimed to marry the town's tempting heiress. Each had made love to Avis Pisano – the wanton whose mangled body was fished out of the swamp. Each one was capable of cold, ruthless action if his plans for the future were threatened…but only one was capable of murder!

The tragic tale of a grocer who, unsatisfied with his dull wife and enamored with another woman, decides on murder as the only means to achieve his goals… Originally published in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Magazine, March 1966.

Fanny, the young and amoral wife of a former crime boss and politician, watches too many westerns. After the latest movie, she begins to wonder whether she could kill her husband by tying wet rawhide around his throat and leaving it to dry and tighten in the sun…
