Editor's Note:
Volume 1 The Third Cry to Legba and Other Innovations collects Wellman's John Thunstone and Lee Corbet stories. These stories (written between 1943 and 1979) combine the mystical and horrific with traditional southern folk tales and legends. At the same time, these stories reveal a post World War 2 modernism that make them much more then pulp romanticism. The paranoia and cynicism of modern weird icons such as the X-files may well have had their genesis in the pulp musings of Manly Wade Wellman. Indeed the intensely driven, idealistic occult investigator John Thunstone could be a pulp/noir stand in for Fox Mulder.Edited by John Pelan, illustrated by Kenneth Waters. Introduction The Third Cry to Legba The Golden Goblins Hoofs The Letters of Cold Fire John Thunstone's Inheritance Sorcery from Thule The Dead Man's Hand Thorne of the Threshold The Shonokins Blood from a Stone The Dai Sword Twice Cursed Shonokin Town The Leonard Rondache The Last Grave of Lill Warren Rouse Him Not The Dakwa The Beasts That Perish Willow He Walk A Witch for All Seasons ChastelVolume 2 The Devil is not Mocked and Other Warnings collects all of Wellman's Appalachian fantasy stories.

It reprints Wellman’s “Judge Pursivant” and “Sergeant Jaeger” stories, as well as a lost classic that has not been reprinted since its original publication in Strange Stories, in 1939. In addition, it features a introduction by Wellman’s long time friend, Stephen Jones, who provides a heartwarming bit of historical perspective on Wellman, and the influential shadow that his work as cast over the genre.
