A gripping, thrilling, uncanny tale about the frightful fate that befell a yachting party on the dreadful island of living dead men. . . .  A drab gray sheet of cloud slipped stealthily from the moon's round face, like a shroud slipping from the face of one long dead, a coldly phosphorescent  countenance from which the eyes had been plucked. Yellow radiance fell toward a calm, oily sea, seeking a narrow bank of fog lying low on the water, penetrating its somber mass like frozen yellow fingers.  Vilma Bradley shuddered and shrank against Clifford Darrell's brawny form. "It's -- it's ghastly, Cliff!" she said.  "Ghastly?" Darrell leaned against the rail, laughing softly. "One cocktail too many -- that's the answer. It's given you the jitters. Listen!" Faintly from the salon came strains of dance music and the rhythmic shuffle of feet.

Sounds Terrifying

<p>The informal story of the science fiction book field in the 1930's, 40's, and 50's then almost totally the providence of the amateur specialist publisher, set against the background and life of an early science fiction fan and writer. Fantasy Press, Gnome, Shasta, Prime, Grant, FPCI, Arkham House -- those were the kingpins of science fiction publishing three or four decades ago. From its details emerges a picture of a handful of men who accomplished things as fantastic in their own way as the fiction they published. With a 16-page photo supplement, index, and checklist of published books.</p>
