The Spider #69 Audiobook

Rule of the Monster Men

by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge

Read by Nick Santa Maria

Transformed by an Underworld sadist into a city of man-made, outlaw cripples, New York faces the gravest criminal threat of all time. Can the Spider, already robbed of his most loyal assistant, successfully meet this new menace?

By 1939, Richard Wentworth had been operating as the Spider for nearly six harrowing years. He had been through everything a good pulp hero could expect to face. Malevolent master villains. Sinister Asian world conquerors. Mad scientists more diabolical than anything conceived before that point. And of course since the Spider was a wanted criminal, endless police officials, uniformed cops, homicide detectives and other officers of the law had been pursuing him with single-minded fervor.

A mere mortal would have succumbed back in 1933. Not the indomitable Richard Wentworth. He seemed to thrive on conditions of continuous peril. Yes, he did put down his mask and guns a time or two, vowing never to become the dreaded Spider again. But the call to battle always made his blood sing, and inevitably the Master of Men returned to battle the underworld in another blazing exploit.

Set against the backdrop of the 1939 New York World’s Fair, the Spider tackles the Wreck, a human fiend straight out of Terror Tales, who surgically transforms ordinary New Yorkers into subhuman beasts. That’s just the start of it!

We don’t want to give away the twists and turns that make up the deadly duel between the Master of Men and the malevolent Wreck in Rule of the Monster Men, except to warn don’t expect everybody to come out of this one unscathed.....

Nick Santa Maria once again brings the Spider to life in this incredible audiobook taken from the June, 1939 issue of The Spider magazine.

Master of Men vs a Monster Among Men!	November 9, 2022
Reviewer: Ian from Pennsylvania, United States

This audiobook was sent to me as a complimentary taste of Radio Archives' unique pulp audiobooks through an offer in the back cover of "Doc Savage"...and that taste was goldenly delicious!

First on the format: Mr. Santa Maria is an incredibly talented voice actor, bringing life and depth with his voice to the Spider/his foes/allies/side characters!
RA has clearly invested much in their recordings; I was kept in suspense whether on the road or walking my dogs!

Storywise: This tale includes all the traits of a dazzling Spider adventure! Widespread panic, seemingly inescapable traps, an inhuman foe who deliberately disables innocent people(talk about body horror)! You get everything a pulpster would thirst for! All I said after listening to this: bring on the next course of adventure, Radio Archives!
