Frederick C. Davis never met an instrument of torture he didn't like and he didn't skimp when telling about it. All eight of the stories in this collection, introduced by John Pelan, are longer than "short stories" and the predicaments he places his character in are simply too horrifying to make short shrift of. John tells all about Davis' place in the pulp pantheon in his introduction and makes these eight tales all the more dreadful. The stories are: When the Bat Man Thirsts, Dime Mystery Magazine, March 1937 The Vat of Doom, Dime Mystery Magazine, January 1934 Goddess of Evil Revelry, Dime Mystery Magazine, December 1936 The Smiling Killer, Dime Mystery Magazine, January Mistress of Satan’s Hounds, Terror Tales, May/June 1938 I Married a Madman, Dime Mystery Magazine, February 1938 Daughter of the Snake, Terror Tales, November/December 1936 Nameless Brides of Forbidden City, Uncanny Tales, April/May 1939
