An adventure novelist, Otis Adelbert Kline was a leading light of the pulp era, producing science fiction and fantasy masterpieces for magazines like ‘Weird Tales’ and ‘Argosy’. Kline was an amateur orientalist and a student of Arabic, who was largely inspired by the fantasy novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. He also worked as a literary agent, most famously for fellow ‘Weird Tales’ author Robert E. Howard, the pioneer sword and sorcery writer. This eBook presents Kline’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
