The Rivals Of Sherlock Holmes: The Looting Of The Specie Room (2.11, Thames, 1973)

"You will often find that men who've received knighthoods for exceptional services to their country are also exceptional in other directions: exceptionally loud, exceptionally rude, and exceptionally mean."

Despite shifting over to a new publisher, Mary Gnaedinger stayed on board as the editor of FAMOUS FANTASTIC MYSTERIES. It's a post she would maintain throughout the magazine's entire run. Here's the December 1944 issue with another cover painting by Lawrence Sterne Stevens. The lead story is an abridged version of Cutcliffe Hyne's "The Lost Continent." It is considered one of the classic fictional retellings of the story of the drowning of Atlantis. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-f1XxRIURD/?igshid=10oundb3o956j

I’m thinking I’d do a thematic trilogy about dinosaur resurrection if I could

Kinda like John Carptenter’s “Apocalypse Trilogy”

Gothic horror science 1860′s piece where “ressurection” results in “dinosaurs” similar to those imagined at the time. May have guest appearance by Stoker’s “The White Worm” and C.J. Cutcliffe Hyne’s “The Lizard” 

Followed by a cute film about dinosaurs being resurrected and coming out different than expected, ala @tyrantisterror‘s fluffy Dino Park idea, except perhaps set in a more modern day

Just need a third one to send it off..

Cutcliffe Hyne, Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer, 1900 [Fiction]

Cutcliffe Hyne, Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer: His Adventures set to paper by Mary Laughan, a maid who through affection followed him to the West Indies and the Spanish Main, acting as his secretary, he deeming her a male though timid, 1900

Page 22: “And for why, monsieur? Do you honor me by doubting my capacity as an admiral?”

“By no means. I have the highest opinion of your fighting genius, mon prince. But I would like to ensure that the fleet, after glutting itself with spoil on the Spanish Main, called back in this harbor here, and did not sail direct to Helveotsluys or some other port of Holland.

“So, Monsieur, you doubt my poor honesty? You do well to put a barrier between us, for this is a killing mater.”

Page 99: There remained only with Prince Rupert and Master Laughlin his faithful secretary, four black negro slaves, which last, having served as pearl divers to the Spaniards, and being very vilely entreated of them, were easily willing to give true service to the Prince during a short season, for the payment of their liberty when that service should be finished. But his Highness was a gentleman of large ideas, and having still some considerable time to occupy before his fleet should be restored to him, he proposed to improve the interval by sailing across to the Spanish Main, and putting to ransom there the great strong city of Caracas, which lies amongst the mountains, and La Guayra, its roadstead port upon the coast.

Page 103: A history of the voyage, too, across from Hispaniola to the Spanish Main would form unpleasant reading. The brigantine was a small frail thing of fourteen tones, and none too seaworthy. Howling greedy tempests seems her daily portion, and she clawed her desperate way across an ocean that was all great noisy hills of yeast and green, and roaring fearsome valleys. Her water-casks leaked and fouled, and her ill-cured food grew tainted. Nothing but constant labor at the pumps kept her on the sea-top, and everything was wet on deck, and sodden in the hatch of a cabin. Salt water boils were the common ailment, and poor Master Laughan acquired an ugly red spot on the chin that was quite destructive to all comeliness.

Page 151: The buccaneers bore no resentment at being further tricked. Indeed they let off their guns in compliment to their quartermaster’s acuteness, and bade him now that he had taken up a new service, attend to the joint interest as cleverly as he had done before for his own.

The Prince took them pleasantly. “If appetite gives wit,” said he, “I should be a clever fellow just now. There isn’t a buccaneer more greedy for plunder along all the Spanish Main. And for advice, there seems to me that only one course is open to us. Here is this ship that we have put in trim. You will note that four days ago she was a mere salt-gatherer.”

Page 274: There is no trusting these buccaneers of the Spanish Main once they have got liquor to their hands, and that is the great reason why they are so unthrifty with their lives. Even a hard-witted fellow like Simpson the Yorkshireman could addle his brain on these occasions like the weakest of them.

From giant squids to this lovely maiden, Lawrence Sterne Stevens could paint them all. This one's for the September 1945 FAMOUS FANTASTIC MYSTERIES, reprinting a novel by Edwin Lester Arnold that was originally published in 1890. Other authors reprinted by the Popular version of the Mary Gnaedinger edited pulp magazine included Algernon Blackwood, G. K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lord Dunsany, C. F. Forester, H. Rider Haggard, William Hope Hodgson, Cutcliffe Hyne, Jack London, Guy de Mauppassant, M. P. Shiel, John Taine, and H. G. Wells. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iaKscIh0i/?igshid=1jogerw8b70pt

The stories of Robert Louis Stevenson helped to develop the market for the popular fiction magazine, and later, the pulp magazine. H. Rider Haggard expanded the popular fiction market with such classics as “She” and “Allan Quatermain.” The fantastic elements in Haggard’s novels led to imitators. One was Cutcliffe Hyne’s “The Lost Continent,” serialized by PEARSON’S beginning in the July 1899 issue. The cover artist for the September 1899 issue is not known. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5WL25B6wf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sy9h3ycldo6j
