    The Horror in the Hold and Two Other Stories of Revenge | Podcast

    A mutinous Spaniard slithers into the shadow-soaked hold of an English ship with powder, vengeance, and heresy on his tongue. But in the stinking dark beneath the deck, blades whisper, loyalties bend, and something far worse than steel seems to be waiting. Originally published in Weird Tales in February 1932, The Horror in the Hold captures everything readers love about early pulp horror: salt-stung realism, eerie supernatural undertones, and the creeping dread that Frank Belknap Long perfected. The Black Chapel by Anonymous (published April 1936, Terror Tales) A story of revenge from beyond the grave. The stories that appear in TERROR TALES are sometimes based on the theory that physical death is not necessarily the end of a human entity, for, whatever one may happen to believe, it is hardly questionable that strange and eerie things do occur, occasionally, which cannot quite be accounted for by material explanations. Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror (Jan. 1933) by Anonymous Headless Ghosts - retelling of famous English ghosts known for having lost their head while alive. Host - M.P.
