Blog Description

FADING SHADOWS began as a publishing imprint in June 1982 with the publication of ECHOES, a pulp hobby magazine. In 1995, the imprint added genre magazines, publishing fiction titles for the next nine years, including CLASSIC PULP FICTION STORIES, ALIEN WORLDS, DETECTIVE MYSTERY STORIES, WEIRD STORIES, DOUBLE DANGER TALES, STARTLING SCIENCE STORIES, and EXCITING UFO STORIES, plus pulp reprint titles like BEHIND THE MASK and ACTION AND ADVENTURE STORIES, until the magazines went on hiatus in December 2004. We have since returned with Kindle and paperback releases. By clicking on the cover picture along the side of the Page, the Link will take you to each book, and ordering instructions. Reviewers, if you have a Blog and can post reviews on Amazon, and anywhere else, and wish to review any of the FADING SHADOWS books, I can supply pdf copies of most.

Crimson Clown - Killer

“Crimson Clown – Killer” by Tom Johnson. When The Crimson Clown discovers the planned heist of a charity ball, he wasn’t expecting a mob rubout at the same time.

Blind As A Bat

BLIND AS A BAT by Tom Johnson, published by FADING SHADOWS: The Eternal Dragon stands mute while the menace of white slavery cast a spell of horror over Chinatown. When the Purple Dragon strikes it brings Dawson Clade out of retirement. The Chinese mastermind is targeting young white girls for his evil pleasure, and The Bat must take wing once more. The Bat first appeared in 1934 & ’35, with four stories that researchers suspect were written by Johnston McCulley, under a house name. A fifth story, advertised as BLIND AS A BAT, never appeared. After Tom read the series, he felt he knew where McCulley was taking The Bat in the final story, and wrote the missing adventure. Now available on Amazon Kindle for $1.99.
