An examination of that "vast natural experiment in social psychology which historians call the gold rush" sights along a new line -- the lack of women. Their absence was the cause of the "spree of the century" which was strictly stag, for the gold- seekers were conditioned to keep the female adventurers and glamour girls in a separate compartment from the sweethearts and wives for whom they had a worshipful homesickness. Here are the two years, 1849-1851, in which the men gambled, drank, horsed around, fought, made money, went broke, got sick and generally kicked over the traces, in contrast to the… Read More

Black paper-covered boards over black pleather quarter cloth. Vibrant silver title stamping on spine. xii, 261 pages : illustrations. Octavo. California was thrown into a paralysis of fear in 1969, distraught over the unsolved murders of the Zodiac killer. The Zodiac became the most elusive and frustrating adversary ever encountered by the law enforcement community in the San Francisco Bay Area. A series of letters, allegedly written by the murderer himself and published in local newspapers, only added to the mystery and panic. Over 30 years after he exploded onto the headlines of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Zodiac serial killer remains an enigma that is unparalleled in the history of crime in America, and the case remains unsolved.

In an equally fine dustjacket and midnight blue slipcase. 264 pp. Octavo. This volume marks the exciting debut of a brand new series of dark fiction.

Lansdale comments in his Introduction: "The word thriller normally means a thrill a minute, a page turner, but in the case of the following stories, and I'm sure other stories that will appear in the series, I believe the term will have to be broadened..."
