"For anyone interested in the Spider, or just thrill-a-minute pulp fiction, I recommend CITY OF CORPSES most highly." -- Davy Crockett's Almanack

The Collected Weird Mysteries of Ken Carter


"Reading Page is like grabbing a live electrical wire. . . . Once you take hold, you can't let go until the story comes to an end. Page paced his stories at one speed only-runaway locomotive.

"When it comes to writing grab-your-throat and hurtle-you-along at a hundred miles an hour fiction, there's nobody better."

-- Robert Weinberg, from his introduction
