Our next entry Wyatt Blassingame started with Weird Menace before moving into juvenile non-fiction.
Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror, June 1932
Spooky story of interplanetary body transference.
Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror, June 1932
A man seeking to kill his romantic rival is bonked on the head and awakens in the past as Conan the Reaver, who has square bangs, wears a loincoth and worships Crom. This supposedly isn't officially Conan, but whatever. These framing stories of people regressing to past lives feel like ways to fill out story fragments.
Amazing Stories January 1947, Vol 21 No 1
Narrative of a man still conscious after dying in a crash. Cliché subject saved by Shaver's inept yet impassioned take.
Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, September 1980
Guy dies in a car wreck, dies in a plane crash, looks for his houseboat, killed his wife.
The Further Adventures of Batman, 1989
Batman fights Lansdale's interdimensional serial killer The God of the Razor, from his novel Nightrunners. Mostly prose, but parts are written in comic book script, which was distracting.
New Detective Magazine, November 1944
Disgraced former cop navigates the world of criminals and crooked police to uncover the truth of his brother's suicide. My favorite tough guy prose, but the plot was a little limited.
Dime Mystery Magazine, June 1935
An Alabama preacher is seduced by a vampire.
Etchison goes over the ropes.
