The Frontier of Vengeance: The Complete Northwoods Stories of Frederick Nebel, Volume 2
Tales of the Northwest may have been Frederick Nebel’s forte, but sadly these ultra-rare magazines don’t turn up often and as a result, few readers have been able to enjoy these classics. This series—of which most of the stories have never before been reprinted—brings these stories to modern readers, complete, uncut, and in order. Volume 2 contains Nebel’s next 7 stories of this genre, taken from North*West Stories. With an introduction by Rob Preston.
Damnation on Halfaday Creek
Black John Smith, Old Cush, and the rest of the outlaws of Halfaday Creek return in seven more adventures, taken from their original magazine texts, and including all of the original interior illustrations. These original versions have never before been reprinted.
Continuing the complete reprinting of one of the longest-running series in all of pulp fiction.

Blood Royal (The H. Bedford-Jones Library)
“Had the king lived, there had been no murder of womenfolk; but Bedfort had shot down the king from behind and fled to Mackinac, untouched of the law, and the kingdom had fallen into hands weaker and more cruel. Therefore had come voyager, lumberjack, fisherman, bearing them retribution.”
Written in the early days of the career of the prolific “King of the Pulps”—H. Bedford-Jones—Blood Royal is one of the earliest of his historical adventure stories set in his native Canada. It’s a fast-paced northwest adventure… the type which made H. Bedford-Jones one of the most beloved authors of the first half of the Twentieth Century.

The Gun-Brand (The Argosy Library)
Through Chloe Elliston’s veins coursed the reckless blood of her world-roving ancestor, the legendary “Tiger” Elliston. Tiger Ellison, the seaman who had built a fleet of cargo steamers that tramped the whole wide world. Tiger Elliston, scourge of pirates from the South Seas to distant Asia.
With her entourage, Harriett Penny and the Amazonian Big Lena, the granddaughter of Tiger Elliston had come to the northland to move freight up the Slave River and make her own fortune. But north of 60 is a hard, raw land, one where women did not readily fit in. Not even the fearless offspring of a human tiger. For here Chloe would become embroiled in a bitter feud between “Brute” McNair—“the Bad Man of the North” and the free-trader named Pierre Lapierre. Dare she trust one over the other? And which one?

Defiance Valley: The Complete Northwoods Stories of Frederick Nebel, Volume 1
Tales of the Northwest may have been Frederick Nebel’s forte, but sadly these ultra-rare magazines don’t turn up often and as a result, few readers have been able to enjoy these classics. With this book, Altus Press brings these stories to modern readers, complete, uncut, and in order. Volume 1 contains Nebel’s first 16 stories of this genre, taken from North*West Stories and Action Stories. Includes an all-new introduction by Rob Preston.
Hell’s-a-Poppin’ on Halfaday Creek
Altus Press is proud to present another new Halfaday Creek collection, containing eight previously-uncollected Black John & Halfaday Creek novelettes. Part of the matching Halfaday Creek Library.
Badmen on Halfaday Creek
Continuing the complete reprinting of the classic Halfaday Creek series by master Northwest author James B. Hendryx. Originally published in book form in 1950, this edition has gone back to utilize the original magazine text versions (dating from 1947 and 1948), including all of the original illustrations.
Adventures on Halfaday Creek
For the first time in 65 years, a new Halfaday Creek collection! This edition contains five previously-uncollected Black John & Halfaday Creek novelettes. Part of the matching Halfaday Creek Library.
The Saga of Halfaday Creek
As Black John, “the Law” on the Creek, is fond of saying, the interval between the crime and the hanging is hardly worth mentioning. This time, and with the sometime assistance of Corporal Downey, Black John deals competently with assorted skullduggery.
Skullduggery on Halfaday Creek
Readers of James B. Hendryx’s previous books will have no difficulty in remembering Halfaday Creek on the Alaskan-Canadian border, or Black John, the one-man police force who metes out justice to a variety of dubious characters. For those who are new to these tales of the Northwest, we need only say that Halfaday Creek is the home of a number of outlaws who find it convenient to have a border to step across when the law appears, and that Black John spends most of his time keeping the “crick” clear of swindlers, gold thieves, unwanted wives, and cardsharps.
