|  The Knight of Darkness returns in two more classic pulp thrillers including "The Voodoo Master," voted the favorite novel in a 1937 Shadow Magazine readers' poll and again acclaimed as one of the top Shadow novels by pulp fans nearly a half century later.
The trade paperback also features the original pulp covers by George Rozen, all the interior illustrations by Tom Lovell and historical commentary by Anthony Tollin, co-author of The Shadow Scrapbook.
The Red Blot (1933): Lamont Cranston first meets Commissioner Weston (setting up the friendship that would be featured in the famous radio series) and investigates a series of crimes orchestrated by a malevolent mastermind who leaves a bloody mark as his calling card.
The Voodoo Master: Walter Gibson's 1936 novel introduces The Shadow's arch-foe Dr. Rodil Mocquino, the master of black magic who returned in two subsequent novels and several Golden Age comic book stories.
WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN? THE SHADOW KNOWS!
In crime capitals the world over, criminals gather in secret and smugly plan attacks on the populace at large. Hell's Kitchen in New York—Limehouse in London—under the. shadows of the Sacre Coeur in Paris—along the Tiber in Rome—in the back streets of Berlin—beside the Bund in Shanghai—in San Francisco's Chinatown—in cities the globe over, crooks mumble their plans of murder, arson, theft—every crime known to man!
But hidden in a sanctum in New York, a being in black ponders beneath a blue light and slyly chuckles to himself as he peruses reports of his agents. For The Shadow knows! Before crime plans have been. put into being, word has come from his agents in far-flung corners of the world—and The Shadow has laid plans to thwart the hordes of evil!
Earphones on the wall lead to Burbank, contact man—and through him go the Master of Darkness' instructions to his aides. lnstructions to Harry Vincent to report on the scene o{ incipient crime, to lay the groundwork for The Shadow's approach; to Hawkeye and Cliff Marsland, in their underworld guise, the paths they are to follow; to Clyde Burke, reporter for the Classic, the necessary information to be gained through newspaper channels; to Moe Shrevnitz, taxi driver of the first rank, word of transporting the Master Fighter to his field of battle; to Rutledge Mann, hiding behind the "front" of an investment broker, the word to be ready with his invaluable aid; to Jericho, giant African, the stand-by message to aid, if necessary, with his terrible strength.
Agents obey orders—and then from the sanctum glides a being in black—to reach the scene of crime and strike swiftly with blazing automatics. The Shadow against minions of the underworld! One gun against many! But when the triumph laugh .peals out under a midnight sky, there has been but one ending: The Shadow has vanquished his foes, and crime for the time being has been stilled.
To two persons only is The Shadow's true identity known—that of Kent Allard, internationally famous aviator—and those persons are Xinca Indians,,servants picked up by Allard during a stay among their tribe in Central America. A guise often used by The Shadow is that of Lamont Cranston, world-renowned big-game hunter and traveler, when Cranston is away on his travels. This is by the leave of the real Cranston, a man of deep understanding.
"Crime must go!"—thus The Shadow's slogan.
