Description
Before Lester Dent began to chronicle the exploits of Doc Savage, he produced scores of novels, shorter fiction and articles spanning the range of pulp fiction genres—tales of two-fisted action, mysteries, aviation adventures, war stories, romances—and westerns. The majority of the latter appeared in Western Trails in 1932 and 1933. For the first time, Hell’s Hoofprints collects the 18 complete works of Lester Dent from that magazine, including his fiction, articles, vignettes and letters to readers—with a bonus story written for Western Trails but never appearing there.
With an introduction by historian Will Murray, this book of previously uncollected material is a welcomed addition for all fans of Lester Dent.
