15 classic tales by Achmed Abdullah, one of the great pulp writers of the early 20th century.

The Achmed Abdullah Megapack collects 20 classic stories, ranging from fantasy and ghost stories to mystery and adventure. Great tales from a forgotten master!

If you’ve picked up this volume, you may already be familiar with Achmed Abdullah's work from the first volume, "The Achmed Abdullah Megapack." If not, no harm done; both Megapacks contain short stories which can be read in any order. The real difference is that Volume 1 contains quite a few supernatural stories, and this volume focuses more on contemporary life in exotic locales, like the Middle East, China, and New York City (primarily Chinatown). Crime is frequently touched upon; many also qualify as mysteries.

The fifth issue of Adventure Tales salutes pulp legend Achmed Abdullah, popular writer in the pulp magazines in the early 20th century, with two long stories — Their Own Dear Land and The Remittance Woman. Many of his stories deal with exotic locales, usually Oriental. But even his Occidental tales are of interest, well written and fast paced, often with an unexpected twist or two. Also included are The Mid-Watch Tragedy, a Jimmy Lavender detective story by Vincent Starrett, and The Pearls of Paruki, by J. Allan Dunn. Another great issue!
