John Martin Leahy excelled in the writing of expansive weird tales of supernatural adventure, and two of his most scintillating works are the novels contained in this volume. The Living Death was serialized in an early science fiction magazine, Science and Invention (October 1924���June 1925). It tells the exciting story of an expedition to the Antarctic, where the explorers discover a world of almost tropical temperatures, bizarre creatures, and, most strikingly, a beautiful young woman who has been frozen in the ice for hundreds of thousands of years. Might it be possible to bring her back to life? Drome (serialized in Weird Tales, January–May 1927) takes us under Mt. Rainier in Washington State, where two intrepid explorers come upon an entire civilization that has been there for centuries. With these two works, Leahy cemented his reputation as a master of the “lost race” subgenre of weird fiction.
