A Christmas Collection

JOHN LOCKE has been fascinated by the pulp magazine era and its fiction, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s, for many decades. In the 1990s he started collecting information on the era, which led to writing historical treatments about the publishers, editors, and most of all the authors. Many of his findings have been published in his Off-Trail Publications books. Charles Beadle featured in two collections of Africa adventure fiction (The City of Baal, 2007; The Land of Ophir, 2012). In 2018, Locke jumped up to book-length histories with The Thing's Incredible! The Secret Origins of Weird Tales. He's currently completing a book about writers behaving badly in the 1920s.
