These were early examples of a growing trend toward weird detective stories in the pulps in the early '30s. Cult of the Corpses involves a murderous voodoo cult on the loose in Manhattan; Dealers in Death involves the machinations of a contract killer who specializes in the art of undetectable murder. Both are well-written, entertaining stories, reprinted here for the first time since 1931. Also included is an exploration of the weird detective trend; and a portrait of the little-known pulp writer, Maxwell Hawkins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471990571229,"sku":"9781935031055","price":27.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/TWExbHF5cXBxVFYvb1JVTy9Sd0ZMZz09_5d4b2404-88c3-4c25-b505-fde08e807536.webp?v=1771716803","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/cult-of-the-corpses-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
