Cities of Fear and Other Adventure StoriesClements Ripley and Katharine Ball Ripley This is a collection of fast-reading magazine stories, pulp-fiction stories, and screen-play excepts of Clements and Katharine Ripley. The stories range from hard-hitting adventures in the 1920s "wood pulps" to equally fast-paced, but far more sophisticated, tales of later decades that were published in such magazines as Cosmopolitan and The Saturday Evening Post. The Ripleys were peach farmers in the Sandhills. After six unsuccessful years of trying to earn a living from their orchard, they tried their hand at writing and both became quite successful with their stories. 380 pages. Price $10.00 |
