An important, though neglected, figure in twentieth-century British horror fiction, Sir Charles Birkin (1907-1985) began his literary career as editor of the popular – and now highly collectible – Creeps series of horror anthologies in the 1930s, which featured tales by well-known writers such as H.R. Wakefield, Lord Dunsany and Russell Thorndike, as well as contributions by Birkin himself. A master of the conte cruel, often with a Grand Guignol finish, Birkin found true horror not in ghosts or the supernatural but in the hearts of men and women. Never before reprinted and extremely scarce, Devils’ Spawn (1936) collects sixteen of Birkin’s stories, many of them first published in the Creeps volumes, including the horror gems “The Terror on Tobit” and “The Harlem Horror”. Birkin’s collection The Smell of Evil (1965) is also available from Valancourt Books.

Seven Lives of the Devil's Spawn: From Destruction to Salvation - A True Wild Cat Story provides an inside look at some of the most fascinating cultures in the world, ones that we will never see with the intensity of this wild cat deep hole driller. Michael Francis McMonagle's amazing biography tells the true-life story of a nobody. He's not the president of a country, a sports star or a member of a rock band. Instead, follow along with this humble kiwi (New Zealander) as he details his wild cat drilling career in exotic locales. McMonagle's life in the drilling industry pulls no punches, from seeing the tribal wars in the Papua, New Guinea highlands to crashing a chopper and being only one of two survivors, to living with headhunters and viewing cannibalism firsthand. His death-defying adventures take him from Africa to Antarctica. He was held hostage in the Philippines, where he suffered horrendous abuse and nearly died, and he's met and worked with Osama Bin Laden. Warning: Nothing is held back from this heart-stopping and gritty memoir. Its language may be offensive to some, but the story is unforgettable. Michael Francis McMonagle lives with his wife, Tina, in New Zealand, and is currently writing the sequel. "When I was taken hostage in the Philippines, I thought I was going to die. I told myself if I survived, I'd write my true life story. This I've done." His goal is to live life to the fullest and to have a loving family. http: //SBPRA.com/MichaelFrancisMcMonagle
