- Pure pulp, and it knows it: a masked criminal who could be anyone, Inspector Juve chasing him through disguises and impossible escapes, the plot lurching from one lurid shock to the next. If you can shrug at the logic, the sheer nerve of it is a lot of fun.
- Blackwood builds dread out of atmosphere rather than jump scares, so these occult doctor cases reward slow evening reading; the one about the sleepy French town where everyone moves like cats will stay with you. Skip it if you need pace, savor it if you like creeping unease.
- This is the second half of the original Buck Rogers story, and it's pure 1929 pulp: Anthony Rogers, rocket belts, disintegrator rays, and long gleeful lectures on imaginary tech. Fun if you love vintage sci-fi archaeology, but brace yourself, the racial politics around the Han are genuinely ugly.
- You’ll enjoy its feverish Victorian weirdness, especially the shifting accounts of Robert Holt, Marjorie Lindon, and the unnervingly composed Paul Lessingham. It takes its time with melodrama and dread, then turns wonderfully lurid around an Egyptian threat that refuses to stay in one shape.
- Half of it is a lonely old man barricading his house against pig-faced things from a ravine, the other half is him watching the sun burn out across millions of years. If you like horror that goes cosmic and dreamlike instead of tidy, this gets under your skin.
- Old-school Atlantis pulp, and it commits: Deucalion is a stern priest dragged home to court an empress who rides a mammoth through the streets and wants a god's throne. Stiff Victorian prose, sure, but the doomed grandeur lands.
