Edgar Hoffman Price (1898-1988) was a prolific pulp writer who got his start writing for Weird Tales and became a peripheral member of the Lovecraft Circle of weird fiction writers. This collection contains every story he published featuring a Kurdish holy man named Ismeddin. Price labels him as a «darvish,» an alternate spelling of the Sufi Muslim «dervish,» a man who chooses to become a beggar and an ascetic to become closer to God. The term «whirling dervish» comes from the spiraling dances the holy men use to place themselves in a trance state. Of course Price's darvish is half-crazed, a master swordsman, and particularly good at stirring up trouble. However, the stories he appears in are notable for their themes of religious truths, justice and wisdom, and explorations of the nature of reality. Included are <P> INTRODUCTION, by Alexander Kreitner<BR> THE DREAMER OF ATLANAAT<BR> THE INFIDEL'S DAUGHTER<BR> THIRSTY BLADES<BR> THE SLAVE OF JUSTICE<BR> SHAYKH AHMAD AND THE PIOUS COMPANIONS<BR> ISMEDDIN AND THE HOLY CARPET<BR> THE FORGOTTEN OF ALLAH<BR> ONE ARABIAN NIGHT<BR> A JEST AND A VENGEANCE<BR> THE SULTAN'S JEST<BR> THE STRANGER FROM KURDISTAN<BR> APRICOTS FROM ISPAHAN<BR> THE HAND OF WRATH<BR> THE RAJAH'S GIFT<BR> SATAN'S DAUGHTER<BR> WELL OF THE ANGELS<BR> THE GIRL FROM SAMARCAND<BR> EVERY MAN A KING<BR> LADY OF THE MOONLIGHT<P> If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction – and much, much more!

E. Hoffmann Price was one of the «Weird Tales Circle» that included H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Clark Ashton Smith. In fact, he was the only person to meet both Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft in person. The stories collected here span multiple genres and multiple decades: detective, western, adventure, and fantasy.

The introduction by Darrell Schweitzer, which leads off the collection, provides a lot more information on Ed’s work for the «Spicy» magazines…though quite tame by modern standards, they were considered quite risque in their day.<P> Included in this volume are:<P> INTRODUCTION, by Darrell Schweitzer<BR> SATAN'S DAUGHTER<BR> PIT OF MADNESS<BR> THE WALKING DEAD<BR> EVERY MAN A KING<BR> REVOLT OF THE DAMNED<BR> CRYSTAL CLUES<BR> NIGHT IN MANILA<BR> MURDER SALVAGE<BR> TRIANGLE WITH VARIATIONS<BR> SCOURGE OF THE SILVER DRAGON<BR> DRINK OR DRAW<BR> SHE HERDED HIM AROUND<BR> YOU CAN'T FIGHT A WOMAN<BR> SHORT-CUT TO HELL<P> If you enjoy this ebook, search your favorite ebook store for «„Wildside Press Megapack“» to see the 170+ entries in the MEGAPACK™ ebook series, covering science fiction, fantasy, horror, mysteries, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!

Rod Garvin just made too many waves for the Thought Control Board that controlled the 21st century. Throwing him in an insane asylum didn't restrain him. Nor, when that didn't work, did sentencing him to a suicide job on Mars. Garvin was bright, driven, and stubborn. The only thing Thought Control could was was get rid of him – quietly and permanently. And that was fine with Garvin…since it meant he could make his dreamed-of voyage into deep space. But when his exploration ship stumbles onto an asteroid peopled by remnants of a star-faring race and possessed of incredible mineral wealth, it opens the possibility of unlimited look for Earth and Thought Control. If only Rod Garvin hadn't been the man to make the find…
