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 issues, 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.
Table of Contents:
Under A Cloud
by Van Siller
The Rocking A dude ranch in Montana was supposed to provide rest and recreation — not mystery and murder. Captain Pete Rector got his tonic untangling a puzzling series of deaths that were wrapped in clouds of doubt and suspicion. The trouble with the West, Pete felt, was that violent accidents were too easily accepted. One guest had skidded off the road and crashed to her death. Another had been crippled when thrown by Moonlight Sonata, a lovely palomino. The characters were a strange lot. There was Goofy, a childish Indian mute, and a new cowhand who forgot to ride Western style. A habitually drunken remittance man, a thrice-married woman of inexplicable age, and a writer who had recently recovered his eyesight were all concerned with murders in these wide-open spaces.
The Black Honeymoon
by C. And G. Little
The hasty, secretly contrived honeymoon of Miriel and Ian Ross turned into a murder investigation when Ian’s Uncle Richard, whom Miriel had been nursing into convalescence in a hospital, suddenly died of an overdose of feathers. He was not tickled to death, but sneezed himself into the hereafter, being highly allergic to feathers. When said feathers were discovered in the pocket of Miriel’s nursing uniform, things looked very bad for the young bride. Whereupon, to protect herself in a house full of in-laws, she employed a private detective. Kelly installed himself in the household, as a butler who couldn’t cook, clean, or serve, but was a hound on running down clues. Miriel just had to laugh about murder, but plenty of hair-raising scenes and spine-chilling moments awaited her.
