Book excerpt: We know early on in The Angel of Terror who is willing to cause mayhem and why, so the question is can the responsible parties be brought to justice? Because the main villain is cold-blooded, extremely cunning, and possesses a cleverly evil mind. Angel of Terror is not a very satisfying title, but it begins with excitement when James Meredith's death sentence is commuted to life in prison. The crime is the murder of Ferdinand Bulford, the reason for the jealousy of Bulford's behavior towards Jean Briggerland, Meredith's cousin and fiancée; it is remarkable how many couples in the novels of this era are engaged or marry their cousins. But I digress. Meredith's friend Jack Glover, Rennett, Glover, and Simpson's junior partner has vowed to prove Meredith's innocence when he attempts to kidnap orphan Lydia Beale, who works as a fashion illustrator for a newspaper. Miss Beale is in dire financial straits, having voluntarily taken on the task of paying off her late father's huge debts, and has been tormented by a constant procession of subpoenas against her as a result - seventy-five in both previous years. While they are taking her in a taxi from which she cannot escape, Glover and Rennett suddenly appear, rescue her and take her to Dulwich Grange, the home of senior partner Charles Rennett. There she is asked an astonishing question: would she be willing to marry Meredith, who is at large with the collusion of Glover and Bennett and is in the house? If she agrees, her husband will not bother her, she will be handed over and returned to prison, but she will receive £ 20,000 when the nuptials are done and £ 5,000 a year thereafter for the rest of her life. Meredith's reasons for wanting to go through such a marriage are strong, but it must take place the following Monday. Despite her financial difficulties, we have already learned that Miss Beale is not a gold digger, but a decent young woman, so the reader is not put off by her eventual agreement with the strange proposal. And so Meredith and Miss Beale are married the next morning at Rennett's residence. Moments later, Jean Briggerland appears out of nowhere, and then Meredith finds herself in the garden, an apparent suicide. Having made her will while in the house during the night, Miss Beale or rather Mrs. Meredith inherits her wealth but is in great danger as a consequence. Now it's the count-ho as the villains make one attempt after another to dispatch her.

He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The driver leant over the shining apron which partially protected him from the weather, and shouted: "Is Miss Beale there?" The girl started in surprise, taking a step toward the cab. "I am Miss Beale," she said. "Your editor has sent me for you," said the man briskly. The editor of the Megaphone had been guilty of many eccentric acts. He had expressed views on her drawing which she shivered to recall. He had aroused her in the middle of the night to sketch dresses at a fancy dress ball, but never before had he done anything so human as to send a taxi for her. Nevertheless, she would not look at the gift cab too closely, and she stepped into the warm interior. The windows were veiled with the snow and the sleet which had been falling all the time she had been in the theatre. She saw blurred lights flash past, and realised that the taxi was going at a good pace. She rubbed the windows and tried to look out after a while

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Angel of Terror by Edgar Wallace. A Classic Pulp Novel. Complete new Edition. Pretty Jean Briggerland is the epitome of evil in this super Pulp Thriller. Her life revolves around numerous plots to steal her new victim's riches including stooping to lies and even murder. Only Jack Glover the lawyer of Jean's most recent victim is aware of what is going on. 'The hush of the court, which had been broken when the foreman of the jury returned their verdict, was intensified as the Judge, with a quick glance over his pince-nez at the tall prisoner, marshalled his papers with the precision and method which old men display in tense moments such as these. He gathered them together, white paper and blue and buff and stacked them in a neat heap on a tiny ledge to the left of his desk. Then he took his pen and wrote a few words on a printed paper before him. Another breathless pause and he groped beneath the desk and brought out a small square of black silk and carefully laid it over his white wig. Then he spoke: "James Meredith, you have been convicted after a long and patient trial of the awful crime of wilful murder. With the verdict of the jury I am in complete agreement. There is little doubt, after hearing the evidence of the unfortunate lady to whom you were engaged, and whose evidence you attempted in the most brutal manner to refute, that, instigated by your jealousy, you shot Ferdinand Bulford. The evidence of Miss Briggerland that you had threatened this poor young man, and that you left her presence in a temper, is unshaken. By a terrible coincidence, Mr. Bulford was in the street outside your fiancee's door when you left, and maddened by your insane jealousy, you shot him dead.'
