The Thrill Book Vol. I No. 6, May 15, 1919, by Various
Welcome back to another exciting issue of the exciting and chilling magazine The Thrill Book, noted precursor to Weird Tales Magazine! In this, issue #6, we have two crackling serials: the first part of the terrifying haunted room story "The Crawling Hands" and the dashing conclusion of the sea-faring adventure yarn "The Devil's Own". Also included is the modern occult magic tale "Magic in Manhattan", the mysterious ghost story "From Over the Border", the creepy crawly "When Basset Forgot", the fantastical "The Rim of the World" and much more! Grab your gear and keep a light burning... It's time to take a trip into The Thrill Book! (Summary by Ben Tucker)
