Product Description

Sinister Stories was a short-lived (only 3 issues) "weird menace" magazine, designed to thrill and titilate through a mix of suspense, science fiction, bondage, nudity, and grisly horror. Stories such as "Brides of the Half-Men," "Satan's Studio of Sin," and "White Flesh Must Rot" are surely masterpieces of over-the-top pulp writing!

Why dont they just remove this ??
I had this book in my cart and ready to buy for months! Amazon kept sending me emails saying that the shipment was going to have to be postponed another week or two and to update my account that this was OK. This kept up for about 4 or 5 emails. Needless to say I eventually gave up. The book obviously isn't available.

Campy Sleazy Horror
Fascinating in juxtaposition to the highbrow shocks at Weird Tales, these pulp yarns are long on sadistic violence and implied sex while they generally eschew supernatural explanations in favor of all too human depravity (the endings are like those in the Scooby-Doo cartoons, where the phantom always turns out to be the caretaker in a rubber mask and phosphorescent paint). Some of the conceits are shockingly grotesque and were the writing better or the characters more human the brutality would be tough to stomach. As is, this is a complete reproduction of a vintage shock-sheet, right down to the sleazy ads in the back. Worth reading for anyone interested in the evolution of mass media horror or a fan of pulp magazines in general.
