  The Horror at Red Hook

  H. P. Lovecraft

  "The Horror at Red Hook" is a short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, written on August 1–2, 1925. "Red Hook" is a transitional tale, situated between the author's earlier work and the later Cthulhu Mythos. Although the story depicts a sinister cult, this cult offers a conventionally occult devil-worshipping threat, rather than the cosmic threat depicted in his later work. Living in poverty in the slum of Red Hook at the time of writing, Lovecraft was at this time urgently attempting to widen his markets in the pulp magazines. By having an unusually proactive Irish New York police detective as his protagonist, he hoped for a swift sale to a detective pulp, which would have opened up a new market other than his usual Weird Tales magazine. He did not get such a sale, and had to fall back on Weird Tales. "Red Hook" was thus first published in the January 1927 issue of Weird Tales.

  Everly Dupree has handled her fair share of ghostly encounters, but this one takes the dog biscuit. 
  She had no intention of getting involved in Mooselick River’s annual town-wide yard sale, but saying no to Martha Tipton is like trying to wrestle a cat into a bathtub. 
  One minute, Everly's sorting through attic junk and dodging cutthroat bargain hunters—the next, an oversized chocolate lab comes barreling toward her at full speed. And drags her straight to a body. 
  Buried under a mountain of shredded paperwork at the recycling center, Everly’s overbearing, micromanaging boss, Spencer Charles, is very dead. Unfortunately for her, his ghost shows up before the cops do. 
  Spencer is just as nitpicky and demanding in death as he was in life and seems to think Everly is his own personal psychic detective. He’s convinced he was murdered and—you guessed it—won’t stop haunting her until she proves it. 
  In a town where everyone talks, only one witness can sniff out the truth… and she has four paws.

  Gun For Hire by Mack Reynolds - A gun is an interesting weapon; it can be hired, of course, and naturally doesn't care who hires it. Something much the same can be said of the gunman, too... 
  Joe Prantera called softly, "Al." The pleasurable, comfortable, warm feeling began spreading over him, the way it always did. 
  The older man stopped and squinted, but not suspiciously, even now. 
  The evening was dark, it was unlikely that the other even saw the circle of steel that was the mouth of the shotgun barrel, now resting on the car's window ledge. 
  "Who's it?" he growled. 
  Joe Prantera said softly, "Big Louis sent me, Al." 
  And he pressed the trigger. 
  And at that moment, the universe caved inward upon Joseph Marie Prantera. 
  There was nausea and nausea upon nausea. 
  There was a falling through all space and through all time. There was doubling and twisting and twitching of every muscle and nerve. 
  There was pain, horror and tumultuous fear. 
  And he came out of it as quickly and completely as he'd gone in. 
  He was in, he thought, a hospital and his first reaction was to think, This here California. Everything different. Then his second thought was Something went wrong. Big Louis, he ain't going to like this. 
  He brought his thinking to the present. So far as he could remember, he hadn't completely pulled the trigger. That at least meant that whatever the rap was it wouldn't be too tough. With luck, the syndicate would get him off with a couple of years at Quentin. 
  A door slid open in the wall in a way that Joe had never seen a door operate before. This here California. 
  The clothes on the newcomer were wrong, too. For the first time, Joe Prantera began to sense an alienness—a something that was awfully wrong.
