Two weird detective novelettes from the pulp magazine, Detective-Dragnet. These were early examples of a growing trend toward weird detective stories in the pulps in the early '30s. Cult of the Corpses involves a murderous voodoo cult on the loose in Manhattan; Dealers in Death involves the machinations of a contract killer who specializes in the art of undetectable murder. Both are well-written, entertaining stories, reprinted here for the first time since 1931. Also included is an exploration of the weird detective trend; and a portrait of the little-known pulp writer, Maxwell Hawkins.
