Chipman<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So here are some details on these.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#43<\/strong> <em>Weird Tales: Lost World\/Lost Race Stories<\/em>, Vol. 1, is edited by AF&#8217;s own <strong>Gregory Luce<\/strong>. I&#8217;m looking forward to this one, as it&#8217;s an interesting themed reprint from <em class=\"pulp-magazine\">Weird Tales<\/em>. I think too many think <em class=\"pulp-magazine\">WT<\/em> ran only horror and dark fantasy stories, not realizing it also ran more standard fare sf\/fantasy works.<\/p>\n<p>This is a sampling of six short stories of lost races from <em class=\"pulp-magazine\">WT<\/em>. As it&#8217;s marked Vol. 1, I hope we&#8217;ll be seeing a second volume at some point. The cover art comes from <em class=\"pulp-magazine\">WT<\/em>, for one of the stories reprinted here. Another cover is reprinted on the back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#44<\/strong> <em>Subterrania<\/em> is another pulp reprint, from Harl Vincent (1893-1968) and reprints a two-part series by him. Part one was published in <em class=\"pulp-magazine\">Science Wonder Stories<\/em> in 1929 as \u201cThe Menace from Below.\u201d Part two followed a year later in the same magazine as \u201cThe Return to Subterrania.\u201d Armchair Fiction has reprinted other works by Vincent. I&#8217;ve yet to read his works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#45<\/strong> <em>The Devil&#8217;s Henchman<\/em>, by John Oldrey, was published in 1926 in the U.K., and the original cover was used for this one. I don&#8217;t think it was ever reprinted. I have no info on the author.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#46<\/strong> <em>Snow Rubies<\/em> is by Ganpat, who was actually <strong>Martin Louis Alan Gompertz<\/strong> (1886\u20131951), a British-Indian soldier and author who was well-known for his many adventure stories in the style of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepulp.net\/pulpsuperfan\/tag\/h-rider-haggard\/\">H. Rider Haggard<\/a><\/strong>. <em>Snow Rubies<\/em> appeared in 1925, but doesn&#8217;t seem to have been reprinted since. The cover of the U.S. version is used as the cover here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#47<\/strong> <em>When the Earth Swung Over<\/em> is by Alfred Colbeck and was published in the U.K. in 1926. The full title is <em>When the Earth Swung Over: A Strange Story of the Mysterious White People of the Napo<\/em> and seems to be another boy&#8217;s adventure novel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#48<\/strong> Our last one, <em>An Aerial Runaway<\/em>, first appeared in 1901 from the father and son team of W.P. and C.P. Chipman. I have no idea if they published more. The full title is <em>An Aerial Runaway: The Balloon Adventures of Rod &amp; Tod in North &amp; South America<\/em>. I don&#8217;t think it was ever reprinted. It is yet another boy&#8217;s adventure novel. Rod and Tod are two cousins who travel with one of their fathers and a scientist in a balloon for this adventure.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to get these soon. I&#8217;ve been behind in reading this series and hope to start doing more detailed postings on these. I don&#8217;t know when we&#8217;ll get more in this series. I <em>do<\/em> know that we will be getting two more in the Masters of Horror series early next year, and we get another pair whom I&#8217;ve not heard of, one of them female. So I look forward to those.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have enjoyed Sinister Cinema&#8216;s Armchair Fiction and their Lost World\/Lost Race Classics series, and saw they recently added six more in their series, almost getting us to 50.
