Publisher's Summary:

Hideous, maniacal laughter shattered the dark silence of ghostly tenements. Sleepy-eyed men and women, stumbling through the dim halls of the building, found a sight that chilled their souls with terror. On a blank wall, spikes driven through her hands and feet, blood coursing down her arms and breasts in tiny rivulets, a beautiful young woman was hanging, crucified, dying. Another victim of the Torture Trust! And while panic spreads, while hundreds die victims of the killers, the Spider is blinded, his faithful servants imprisoned, his friends dishonored! How can Richard Wentworth, desperate and alone, combat the powerful, well-organized murder syndicate whose gun hirelings hunt him down like a vicious mad dog?

The great pulp magazines of the 1930s and '40s produced a number of heroes but none as action oriented as the Spider. For almost exactly a decade, from October 1933 to December 1943, the Spider was the scourge of the underworld, doling out his own particular brand of justice and imprinting his dreaded red Spider seal on the foreheads of those he killed for the good of mankind.

The Spider followed the established pulp pattern of a wealthy man-about-town, Richard Wentworth III, master of disguise, dilettante of the arts, in perfect physical condition, and completely devoted to the pursuit of justice for the downtrodden, no matter what the cost to himself or loved ones. Secretly donning a decrepit black hat, a tattered black cape, a false hunch to his shoulders, a lank wig of stringy hair, an application of sinister face makeup, and a pair of .45 automatics, Wentworth prowls the streets of New York as his Spider alter ego, chasing down criminal masterminds bent on enslaving or destroying humanity.

Nick Santa Maria brings the action to electrifying life in "Death's Crimson Juggernaut". Originally published in The Spider magazine, November 1934.

Publisher's Summary:

How do you fight a menace that strikes without warning - that disintegrates flesh and blood and stone to mere chemical atoms? Men flee in blind panic from the merest rumor of a new attack, and even the Spider - dodging the death blasts - can find at first no weapon with which to combat this new and devastating evil that obliterates its victims in the fraction of time between two heartbeats! This is the challenge Richard Wentworth, alias the Spider, faces as he plunges into the cauldron of crime exemplified by Satan's death blast.

Albany, New York, is the first city to face obliteration. Then the devil moves on to other cities of New York State and finally sets his diabolic sights on Manhattan, demanding a ransom of $75 million to spare the most densely populated city in the United States. The master of men faces two grim challenges: What mysterious force is so powerful that it could detonate a victim into dustlike motes unrecognizable as human? And who is his satanic majesty, the devil?

Once again, Norvell Page delivers a riveting account of the Spider's urgent crusade to crush a supercriminal who challenges the combined forces of law and order. As never before, Richard Wentworth hurls himself into a hellish cauldron, prepared to sacrifice his reputation, his life, and even his very soul to defeat a foe to whom mercy is a foreign word. When his faithful servant, Ram Singh, turns against his master, Wentworth understands that he faces an enemy who can reach into his inner circle. But how can the Spider run his quarry to Earth when he is gunned down and incapacitated while the devil and his lethal minions run unchecked?

Nick Santa Maria reads "Satan's Death Blast" with the crackling intensity you have come to expect of his superb talent. Originally published in The Spider magazine, June 1934.

The Spider Vs The Devil

A master criminal who looks like Satan discovers an atomic explosive. A tiny amount in a cigar kills an important man and leaves a massive crater behind. Cities have vital areas blown up and then an army of vagabonds move in to loot them at Satan's command. When his bullets fail to kill Satan, he handicaps The Spider with a severe bullet wound in his thigh which makes even walking difficult, and later a head wound. But it does not end there as Ram Singh tries to kill him then Nita betrays him to the police. How can Richard Wentworth rally help to fight the fiend when the forces of law are convinced he is behind these atrocities? This is The Spider at his best. Some excellent back up stories too.

One of the better Spider Stories from the beginning of it's run

I really like the action in these old pulp fiction novels. If you are a fan of comics, you can see where many of the golden age creators got their ideas. I started off with the Baen Books The Spider Master of Men collection: Robot Titans of Gothlam. These inexpensive kindle books are a treat because you get a glimpse of history and you get to read quality stories from a bygone era when things like values and knowing right meant something.

But I digress, on to the story. The Spider has to battle this villain dressed as Satan who is destroying the city around him. Richard Wentworth, The Spider, has to utilize all the resources available to him to take down this incredible enemy.

Publisher's Summary:

In 100,000 homes, families sat down together at the supper table. A few hours later, those persons were dead - killed by poison in canned foods! Thousands of women used cosmetics, and acid made their faces forever hideously scarred. A master criminal, daring and clever, was ruthlessly slaughtering Americans to win immense illicit profits for himself. Only one man was powerful enough and wise enough to stop this wholesale murder - Richard Wentworth, champion of oppressed humanity, better known as the Spider. And the Spider was engaged in the bitterest battle of his career, fighting the Avenger, a false, wily crusader who was determined to destroy him!

Norvell W. Page, writing under the pseudonym of Grant Stockbridge, remade the Spider into his own psychic twin, often dressing up as the master of men when delivering his monthly manuscripts.

In a letter to a Spider fan, Page wrote, "Think of me as Wentworth, if you will. The line between us is not too distinct."

Page took Spider readers on a roller-coaster ride of wild action and fevered emotion unlike anything ever published before or since. Once he got going, Page painted a portrait of a tortured superhero, one much more emblematic of the 21st century than of the Great Depression.

Richard Wentworth saw himself as a man on a holy mission, a self-appointed messiah with a martyr complex - a Christ covered in cobwebs. He was the champion of oppressed humanity, its shield and protector against the murderous outbreaks of the underworld; wherever crime struck terribly, he hastened, taking up the challenge. The police had offered rewards totaling thousands of dollars for his capture "dead or alive." And the underworld hated him and plotted his destruction with a fierceness bred of abject terror.

Nick Santa Maria breathes life into the Spider in "The Pain Emperor". Originally published in The Spider magazine, February 1935.

Were-jaguar and TV personality Riley O'Rourke has been looking over her shoulder ever since she stole from the Dark Queen of the Unseelie faeries.

When Riley's boyfriend, David, realizes she's missing, he'll do whatever it takes to get her back, including starting a war with the Unseelie. The balance of power among the Fae courts is shifting, and if David makes one wrong move, Riley could end up crushed in the struggle. But after being the subject of the queen's legendary cruelty, will there even be anything left of Riley to save?

Members Reviews:

both engaging and riveting

In book one, Riley ORourke a reporter and Were-Jaguar stole a valuable mirror from the Winter Queens Court. Having thought herself safe and protected by the Summer Queen, Riley finds herself embroiled in intrigue, murder and an impending preternatural fairy war.

Tracking down a story concerning the shooting death by police of a young werewolf, Riley treks off without any support or back up. Her boyfriend and head of the preternatural bureau, David, has his hands full with solving and preventing any more children from being murdered land the humans blaming the preternatural community.

David discovers that Riley is not only missing but being held prisoner. He also discovers there is a coup being planned; in order to rescue Riley David must help coup planners. Neither Riley nor David are likely to forget that everything has a price and a consequence in the fairy world.

Once again, Fiona Skye has done an excellent job of word crafting and weaving a tale that is both engaging and riveting. As listeners we are privy to seeing a different side of Riley and David as they grow and change roles in this book. There are a couple of new characters introduced which promise to be just as intriguing as the others.

The narrator, P. J. Morgan once again was excellent in her narration. Her narration was consistent with the first book. I loved her rhythm for reading and expressive voice. When I hear P. J. Morgan narrate I hear Riley she has a knack for taking on the character and wearing her proudly.

There were no issues with production. I appreciate the clearness of the audio book.

Three Imaginative and Original Novellas

Would you consider the audio edition of Paperbackward Story Bundle: Pale Rider, Magic Factory, and Summer Sword to be better than the print version?

I didn't get the print version, but I had no trouble listening to and understanding the audio version. Michael C. Gwynne ,Michael Gilboe and Jack Nolan are excellent narrators, each perfectly suited to the story they narrated.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Paperbackward Story Bundle: Pale Rider, Magic Factory, and Summer Sword?

Actually, what made them memorable was the very original nature of each story, and that three very different readers narrated them. The tone was post apocalyptic in the first, whimsical in the second, and very magical in the third. The narrators did a good job conveying the moods.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

The three very different readers that narrated them. The tone was post apocalyptic in the first, whimsical in the second, and very magical in the third. The narrators did a good job conveying the moods. The first reader reminded me of the late great Frank Muller, the second was kind of like a Harry Potter reader and the third conveyed the magical interaction with wind vespers.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I actually listened to each story individually to accommodate the change in mood for each one.

Any additional comments?

My main though was that these stories were too short! That they were so rich in content, so imaginative and filled with interesting characters, each one could have been expanded into a complete novel. I'm hoping James Livingood plans on adding to the complex and varried worlds he has created. I was given a copy for review, but I would gladly buy the next thing he writes.

Paperbackward

3 hours of fun and fantasy narrated nicely by Michael C. Gwynne, Michael Gilboe, Jack Nolan.My favorite was The Magic Factory.I was given this book free of charge for an honest review.

great afternoon of listening

Any additional comments?

Pale Rider - Two things stand out for me after listening to Pale Rider. One, the way my mind slipped through the story. For instance, some descriptions were spot on and managed to grab my imagination with a ruthless clarity. But, most just seemed to slip through my head like a silk thread through silk fabric and nothing to hold it there.

Second (and my favorite), is the sound of Michael Gwynnes voice. I tend to slide narrators into certain personal labels (e.g. those that pierce with just the right tone to avoid annoyance yet keep me awake, aware and focused; those female voices that manage to whine without putting me completely off; male voices that transform seamlessly between characters that are so differentiated as to make me check that there is actually only one narrator, etc.). These are my own personal labels and I share my opinion only when I think I can describe the essence of the voice in a way that would help others choose to listen or not to listen. Michael Gwynne has a voice that is like salted caramel, just enough texture to avoid the smoothness that gathers sleep around you.
