Excerpt from book: ‘ I’m Beeton, Sir Gregory Hale’s man.’ Smith started visibly, and his gaunt, tanned face seemed to me to have grown perceptibly paler. ‘ Come on, Petrie! ‘ he snapped. ‘ There’s some devilry here.’ Thrusting Beeton aside he rushed in at the open door upon which, as I followed him, I had time to note the number, 143. It communicated with a suite of rooms almost identical with our own. The sitting room was empty and in the utmost disorder, but from the direction of the principal bedroom came a most horrible mumbling and gurgling sound a sound utterly indescribable. For one instant we hesitated at the threshold hesitated to face the horror beyond; then almost side by side we came into the bedroom…
. Only one of the two lamps was alight that above the bed; and on the bed a man lay writhing. He was incredibly gaunt, so that the suit of tropical twill which he wore hung upon him in folds, showing, if such evidence were necessary, how terribly he was fallen away from his constitutional habit. He wore a beard of at least ten days’ growth, which served to accentuate the cavitous hollowness of his face. His eyes seemed starting from their sockets as he lay upon his back uttering inarticulate sounds and pluck iqg with skinny fingers at his lips. Smith bent forward peering into the wasted face; and then started back with a suppressed cry. ‘ Merciful God! can it be Hale? ‘ he muttered. ‘ What does it mean? what does it mean? ‘ I ran to the opposite side of the bed, and placing my arms under the writhing man, raised him and propped a pillow at his back. He continued to babble, rolling his eyes from side to side hideously; then by degrees they seemed to become less glazed, and a light of returning sanity entered them. They became fixed; and they were fixed upon…

Sax Rohmer was a prolific author of early science fiction and fantasy. He was perhaps best known for creating the super villian, Dr. Fu Manchu a character who went on the become the subject of many films and, in fact, much plundering. Think about it for a moment: how many evil Chinese Mandarin masterminds have you heard tell of? Remember Ian Fleming’s Dr. No? Remember Lo Pan, from Big Trouble in Little China? Egg Fu, from Wonder Woman? Be careful. They’re everywhere.

The Golden Scorpion

Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward 1883 1959, better known as Sax Rohmer, was a prolific English novelist. He is most remembered for his series of novels featuring the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu. Born in Birmingham he had an entirely working class education and early career before beginning to write. His first published work was in 1903, the short story The Mysterious Mummy for Pearson’s Weekly. He made his early living writing comedy sketches for music hall performers and short stories and serials for magazines. He published his first novel Pause! anonymously in 1910 and the first Fu Manchu story, The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu, was serialized over 1912 13. The Fu Manchu stories, together with those featuring Gaston Max or Morris Klaw, made Rohmer one of the most successful and well paid writers in of the 1920s and 1930s. But Rohmer was very poor at handling his wealth. His other works include: The Sins of Severac Bablon 1914, The Yellow Claw 1915, The Devil Doctor 1916, The Hand of Fu Manchu 1917, Brood of the Witch Queen 1918, Dope 1919 and Bat Wing 1921.

The Day the World Ended

1930. Rohmer, born Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, who wrote also as Michael Furey, was a prolific English mystery writer, best known for the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu and his opponents Denis Nayland Smith, Dr. Petrie, named after the Egyptologist Flinders Petrie, and the beautiful Karamaneh, the source of Petrie’s daydreams. Gaston Max, Sax Rohmer’s rather dapper French detective, and the greatest criminal investigator in Europe, makes his third appearance in The Day the World Ended. This story is closer to mainstream science fiction than any other Sax Rohmer work. It begins as a seemingly supernatural tale of vampires and strange men dressed in armor roaming castle walls. Max makes a late appearance: only to reveal that he has been present all along in disguise. The seemingly supernatural is then revealed as the work of a strange scientist who is attempting to use his scientific achievements including a death ray to conquer the world.

Bat Wing

Paul Harvey is sitting in his office chatting with his friend, Knox. Harvey is a private detective, but also a consultant to the politics of the British Empire. The two are chatting about what job Paul should take next when Colonel Juan Menendez walks through the office doors. He believes that someone is after him, something that Paul believes is simply paranoia. But Menendez is convinced that there is someone watching him even though all he’s ever seen is a shadow of the person. Then Menendez produces the wing of a bat, something that was left for him. And suddenly, Harvey is plunged into a world of voodoo, vampires and murder! Sax Rohmer was a prolific author of early science fiction and fantasy. He was perhaps best known for creating the super villian, Dr. Fu Manchu a character who went on the become the subject of many films and, in fact, much plundering.

Dope

Mr. Monte Irvin hires a private investigation agency to follow his wife. He suspects that she is having an affair, but he wants proof first before he confronts her. The agency calls to let Irvin know that his wife has met up with a Mr. Pyne and that a Mr. Gray has also joined them. Together, they enter Kazmah’s, a fortune teller of sorts. He is able to read and interpret your dreams. Mr. Irvin arrives at the fortune teller’s to confront them. The office is locked eerily quiet when he arrives. When the door is opened, it’s discovered that Mr. Pyne has been stabbed and lays dead upon the divan. Mrs. Irvin and Kazmah, however, are nowhere in sight. Could they have been kidnapped? Or is there something else going on? Dope was one of the earliest novels in the thriller genre concerning the drug trade. Sax Rohmer was a prolific author of early science fiction and fantasy.

The Sins of Sumuru / Nude in Mink

WHO WAS SUMURU? It was said that she was an ice cold, fascinating genius whose hypnotic powers impelled all men to do her bidding. It was said she was a fanatic who ruled her followers with oriental despots. It was said…
But what was the truth? Nobody really knew although two men knew part of it sir Miles Tristram, just returned from Cairo, and Dr. Steel Maitland of the Secret Service. But Tristram died by the hand of a beautiful woman and his secret died with him. That left Maitland alone to follow the trail through Sumuru’s shadowy underworld and it almost proved to be a task more than he could handle. In Sins of Sumuru, Sax Rohmer, creator of the famous Fu Manchu novels, has written another masterly story of fear and excitement.

Sumuru / The Slaves of Sumuru

Of Sins of Sumuru, the Manchester Evening News wrote: ‘Dr. Fu Manchu, Sax Rohmer’s celebrated character, gives way to a woman Sumuru in this new novel. But Rohmer’s sure touch remains. His feminine epitome of wickedness is as fine a piece of imaginative character drawing as the notorious doctor, and the suspense of a well knit plot never relaxes one iota.’ Slaves of Sumuru is another equally absorbing of Rohmer’s stories of mystery and imagination a story of murder and violence again featuring the enigmatic woman who all men feared and few men knew.

Brood of the Witch Queen

When Robert Cairn is caught out in the rain, he sees something strange. Apollo, the king of the swans, seems to have died without apparent reason right in front of his eyes! When Robert goes to investigate, he discovers that the swan had its neck broken in three places. He’s so spooked by this that he goes to the nearest home, the one of Antony Ferrara. Inside Antony’s home, Robert feels frightened and suffocated.

Antony has always been a strange man. He’s been rumored to be a bad boy of sorts and was asked to leave Egypt. The reason for that, nobody quite knows. But Robert sees some strange things in Antony’s home. He glimpses Egyptian artifacts and creepiest of all, an unwrapped mummy. Why Antony has all these items, one can only guess. Their guesses are nothing compared to the strange happenings that’s actually happening. And Robert and his friends must find out what before it’s too late!

a selection from CHAPTER I I SEE THE EYES

‘Good evening, sir. A bit gusty?’

‘Very much so, sergeant,’ I replied. ‘I think I will step into your hut for a moment and light my pipe if I may.’

‘Certainly, sir. Matches are too scarce nowadays to take risks with ’em. But it looks as if the storm had blown over.’

‘I’m not sorry,’ said I, entering the little hut like a sentry box which stands at the entrance to this old village high street for accommodation of the officer on point duty at that spot. ‘I have a longish walk before me.’

‘Yes. Your place is right off the beat, isn’t it?’ mused my acquaintance, as sheltered from the keen wind I began to load my briar. ‘Very inconvenient I’ve always thought it for a gentleman who gets about as much as you do.’

‘That’s why I like it,’ I explained. ‘If I lived anywhere accessible I should never get a moment’s peace, you see. At the same time I have to be within an hour’s journey of Fleet Street.’

I often stopped for a chat at this point and I was acquainted with most of the men of P. division on whom the duty devolved from time to time. It was a lonely spot at night when the residents in the neighborhood had retired, so that the darkened houses seemed to withdraw yet farther into the gardens separating them from the highroad. A relic of the days when trains and motor buses were not, dusk restored something of an old world atmosphere to the village street, disguising the red brick and stucco which in many cases had displaced the half timbered houses of the past. Yet it was possible in still weather to hear the muted bombilation of the sleepless city and when the wind was in the north to count the hammer strokes of the great bell of St. Paul’s.

Standing in the shelter of the little hut, I listened to the rain dripping from over reaching branches and to the gurgling of a turgid little stream which flowed along the gutter near my feet whilst now and again swift gusts of the expiring tempest would set tossing the branches of the trees which lined the way.

‘It’s much cooler to night,’ said the sergeant.

I nodded, being in the act of lighting my pipe. The storm had interrupted a spell of that tropical weather which sometimes in July and August brings the breath of Africa to London, and this coolness resulting from the storm was very welcome. Then:

‘Well, good night,’ I said, and was about to pursue my way when the telephone bell in the police hut rang sharply.

Bimbashi Baruk of Egypt / Egyptian Nights

Sax Rohmer, master writer of stories of mystery and horror, adds to his already notable group of scoundrels and heroes, which includes the unforgettable Dr. Fu Manchu, a striking and colorful new character Bimbashi Baruk, of the renowned Camel Corps in Africa. Born of an Arab sheik and an English mother, this tall, slender, swarthy, taciturn man was singled out by the British Military Intelligence for his uncanny power of scenting crime and bringing the criminal into the open. The scene of the book is England and the Near East, particularly Syria, Persia, Egypt, and Afghanistan, with their crowded, labyrinthine and treacherous thoroughfares, which Sax Rohmer knows so well.

Hangover House

Hilary Bruton is a model daughter: beautiful, lively and very wealthy. So when she starts behaving mysteriously her father hires private investigator Storm Kennedy to follow her. The night Kennedy tracks Hilary to a party at Hangover House, the body of a man is discovered stabbed in the chest with a jewelled dagger. When a woman’s handkerchief is found at the scene of the crime, Hilary identifies it as hers, but Kennedy is the prime suspect. Then a ghostly figure appears, pointing an accusing finger…

Wulfheim

Based on a previously unpublished play, Sax Rohmer’s Wulfheim is a brooding, dark tale of the Macabre. Unusual for the author he employed the pseudonym ‘Michael Furey’ in a nod to James Joyce, this peculiar work is a must have for any fan of Rohmer’s books.

Tcheriapin

Again the cloak touched me, but it was without entirely resigning myself to the compelling influence that I followed my mysterious acquaintance up an uncarpeted and nearly dark stair. On the landing above a gas lamp was burning, and opening a door immediately facing the stair the stranger conducted me into a barely furnished and untidy room.

The Pigtail of Hi Wing Ho

The police theory of the murder and I was prepared to accept it was that the assassin had been crouching in hiding behind or beside the cab or even within the dark interior. He had leaped in and attacked the woman at the moment that the taxi man had started his engine; if already inside, the deed had proven even easier. Then, during some block in the traffic, he had slipped out unseen, leaving the body of the victim to be discovered when the cab pulled up at the hotel.

The Daughter of Huang Chow

Many of the larger pieces about the place contained drawers and cupboards, and these he systematically opened one after another, without making any discovery of note. Some of the cupboards contained broken pieces of crockery, and more or less damaged curios of one kind and another, but none of them gave him the clue for which he was seeking.

The White Hat

As a matter of fact, his sudden request had positively astounded me, but ere I had time for any reply a door suddenly banged open above and a respectable looking woman, who might have been some kind of upper servant, came quickly down the stairs. An expression of intense indignation rested upon her face, and without seeming to notice our presence she brushed past us and went out into the street.

The Dream Detective

Ten stories featuring perhaps the most fantastic sleuth of them all: Moris Klaw, The Dream Detective. Accompanied by his beautiful daughter Isis, Klaw’s mysterious abilities lead him to clues and answers concerning occult occurrances far beyond the ken of ordinary minds.

The Haunting of Low Fennel

Lost Classic!

Rohmer’s Haunting of Low Fennel, last printed in 1926, didn’t even make the legendary Bookfinger re issues.

Here in their entirety, seven stories to chill you as only the author of Fu Manchu could!

Tales of Chinatown

Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, better known as Sax Rohmer, was a prolific English novelist. He is most remembered for his series of novels featuring the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu. His first published work was in 1903, the short story ‘The Mysterious Mummy’ for Pearson’s Weekly. He published his first novel Pause! anonymously in 1910 and the first Fu Manchu story, ‘The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu,’ was serialized over 1912 13. The Fu Manchu stories, together with those featuring Gaston Max or Morris Klaw, made Rohmer one of the most successful and well paid writers in of the 1920s and 1930s.

Tales of Chinatown is a collection of ten stories by Rohmer. Rohmer’s stories take place in the Limehouse, a section of London containing Chinatown. Rohmer’s Chinatown is full of the mystery and menace of the East. ‘The superficial inquirer comes away convinced that the romance of the Asiatic district has no existence outside the imaginations of writers of fiction. Yet here lies a secret quarter, as secret and as strange, in its smaller way, as its parent in China which is called the Purple Forbidden City.’ In the Limehouse you’ll find crime, drugs, and Chief Inspector Red Kerry, struggling to keep a lid on this particular pot.

The Romance of Sorcery

The shadow side of Sax Rohmer is revealed in this long unobtainable volume. Widely known as the author of the popular Fu Manchu books, he was also a dedicated scholar of the occult and an adept in the mystic arts. Written for the layman, his only non fiction work is this guide to the realm of magic in its many forms, beginning with the birth of sorcery in ancient Egypt. The Moslem djinns, the sibylls, the philosophy of the Magi, modes of divination, and magic of the Brahmins are all examined, as are the manifestations of sorcery in Europe including witchcraft at the French royal court and the infamous witch trials of Scotland. The stories of key figures such as Apollonius of Tyana, Nostradamus, Dr John Dee, and Cagliostro are recounted in detail, and there is a comprehensive index from alchemy to zodiac. Rohmer aims to bridge the gulf that has opened as a result of modernity between revealed religion and the ancient truths that need to be sought anew. There is no better general introduction to magic, sorcery, and the paranormal.

Little Tich (With: Llittle Tich)

The ‘autobiography’ of Music Hall entertainer Little Tich Harry Relph has been highly sought by collectors for nearly a century. This, in part, has been due to anecdotal evidence that mystery author Sax Rohmer edited/ghost-wrote the manuscript. The work is not a serious autobiography. It mainly consists of gags, witticisms, and short stories. Also present are numerous photographs and line drawings of Little Tich dressed in comedic attire.
