Fun, Yellow Menace PulpBy Randy StaffordA surprisingly enjoyable and rich mix of Lovecraft-inspired weirdness, pulp crime story, opium addiction, and a Fu Manchu Yellow Menace type villain.Boxer Steve Costigan whiles away his time in a London opium den to forget the horrors of World War One. But Kathulos, the mysterious man behind the opium den, offers him away out of his addiction ndash; if he becomes a killer for Kathulos. The pace of the plot is, as you would expect from Howard, fast. The storyrsquo;s main flaw is that the dialogue sometimes seems a bit wordy and full of explication given the tense, desperate situations itrsquo;s often spoken in.Lovecraft fans will find an interesting variation on his ldquo;The Call of Cthulhurdquo; published only a few months earlier. Howard fans may squirm a bit, given Howardrsquo;s chosen end, at how easily Costigan contemplates suicide. Modern readers may even find some resonances in the end of the story.This bargain- basement Kindle edition is surprisingly free of errors ndash; though, not being a Howard scholar, I donrsquo;t know how it compares with his original manuscript or its first printing in Weird Tales.10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. WEIRD MENACE...NOT FOR EVERYONE BUT GOODBy Tim JansonHoward delved into all sorts of genre as he tried to eke out a living...we all know Conan, Kull, Solomon Kane, etc...but one of the genres he also delved into was weird menace stories...These were quite popular in the day, particularly in the 30's pulp era of Weird Tales and others...Skull Face is one of those weird Menace stories, influenced somewhat by Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.Steve Costigan, not Sailor Steve of Howards fighting sailor series, comes under the influence of a mysterious being in the Orient, circa the 1920's. The being uses opium to control people and do his bidding.The Being, one Kathulos (cthulhu?) is supposed to be a sorcerer who was found in a tomb and is a survivor of ancient Atlantis.A little outlandish but kind of a fun adventure story. The book contains a couple of short sequels to the main story. A fantastic tale set in a London hashish den. Robert E. Howard is perhaps best known as the creator of Conan.
