Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
As the magazine title promised, each issue of this pulp contained two complete and unedited detective novels. Fiction House publishers, through their Real Adventures Publishing imprint, bought up the reprint rights to detective books that had already seen publication in hardback book form, a practice which allowed them to obtain the previously-printed books much cheaper. Radio's famous "Mr. and Mrs. North" detective series began as a series of print books, six of which appeared in the Two Complete Detective Books magazine. The first of Two Complete Detective Books was released in the Winter 1939 issue. Two complete books for a quarter was quite a bargain, and the magazine was popular with customers. It lasted for 76 issue, and printed the final magazine in its run with the Spring 1954 issue. Two Complete Detective Books returns in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

The Blue Hour
By John Godey
There was something about Harry Calvert that fascinated people. A certain kind of people. It made them want to follow him around. It made them want to slug him, knock him down, run over him with the heavier type of automobile, take pot-shots at him with fancy, assorted guns. Perfect strangers to Harry Calvert, yet they seemed to like him better dead. He looked in the mirror and wondered what there was about him to attract all this adverse popularity. He couldn’t see anything wrong or exciting. He was just a young New York advertising man. Still, there was no denying that Harry Calvert had something — and it was so deadly!
Gallows For The Groom
By D.B. Olsen
For a while, on that terrible week end on the fog-bound California coast, it looked as if lovely Jo Fortyne was headed for spinsterhood. To recover a precious set of silver spoons she had set her suitors the task of finding them — the winner to marry her. But these were Apostle spoons, one for each Apostle... and the young men began to die — each as the Apostles had died. In flames. Stoned to death. Spread-eagled on a cross. And with each corpse was found the appropriate spoon. Timid little Professor Pennyfeather, Jo’s referee for the search, nervously added up the still missing spoons and knew the final sum of murder... unless he could force out of hiding that thirteenth spoon — bearing the head of Judas!
