A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

C.J. Henderson is one of those authors who has been around what seems like forever. His work crosses (and often obliterates!) the lines between the mystery, horror, pulp, and science fiction fields, and his stories are always fun. (If there’s one thing we readers don’t have enough of these days, it’s fun in fiction. Everyone seems determined to write Serious Literature. Which isn’t fun.)

It is an honor to have him as one of the first living authors with an entire Megapack devoted to his work. If this is your first encounter with C.J.’s fiction, we’re sure it won’t be your last. Treat this volume as a sampler to explore his many series, then go seek out more. You won’t be disappointed!

ABOUT THE MEGAPACKS

Over the last few years, our “Megapack” series of ebook anthologies has grown to be among our most popular endeavors. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”

The Megapacks (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This includes John Betancourt (me), Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Bonner Menking, Colin Azariah-Kribbs, A.E. Warren, and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!)

This one is my fault. At Ravencon, a local science fiction convention, C.J. was telling me about his work, and I realized I’d only read the tip of the iceburg, to mangle a metaphor, and so I asked if he’d be willing to let us publish a sampler of his work. He was (in paperback and ebook format), and so The C.J. Henderson Megapack was born.

Lovecraftian monsters, hardboiled mysteries, scientists, tentacles—C.J. has ’em all. Enjoy!

A NOTE FOR KINDLE READERS

The Kindle versions of our Megapacks employ active tables of contents for easy navigation…please look for one before writing reviews on Amazon that complain about the lack! (They are sometimes at the ends of ebooks, depending on your reader.)
