Horror Stories - Mistress of the Dead

Though her sacrifice saved me from the electric chair, I went out into the night to kill Warna with my own hands'because I could not resist the command of the woman who called herself Death! Horror Stories! The dark companion to Dime Mystery Magazine. Created to showcase stories too horrible for Terror Tales. The third of the triumvirate of fear pulps. This brand of fiction came to be called Weird Menace. The mystery-and-menace formula proved so successful that publisher Popular Publications produced Dime Mystery Magazine, Terror Tales and Horror Stories. These three dominated the Weird Menace genre all through the 1930s. Blurbed as "mystery-horror" stories instead of "mystery-terror," Horror Stories was formulated differently that its companion titles. Damn the plot. Pour on the menace! This ebook contains a classic story from the pages of Horror Stories magazine, reissued for today's readers in electronic format.
