Wild, crazed, sexually boisterous-outrageous, violence-action and gore. A ’60s film with some psychedelic overtones yet not quite Bond.

Sax Rohmer: Hangover House
Just landed at your local shadow library: http://library.lol/fiction/296049F4BF15BB1F02A7B996219F133E
A new epub from a fresh OCR.
The pdf is at Internet Archive, where you can read it an hour at a time (such fun). https://archive.org/details/bwb_P8-CDK-310
A rare book from the Dr. Fu Manchu man, this is a pleasant, short mystery story with all the tropes: a PI who is frenemy with the police inspector; beautiful woman with secrets, a corpse who is not really dead (at first), and so on. Very readable.
In 1929 Sax Rohmer (Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward) thought he'd try for a new super-evil antagonist. Maybe tired of Fu-Manchu?
This book was a real failure, and remains so. It jumps around, the characters are cardboard, and the plot is thin. Roscoe is no Nayland Smith, and the Zones are no Si Fan.
But it is interesting, just the same. Glad to find it in Faded Page.
This book is probably Sax Rohmer’s most over the top novel, a mastermind controlling a vast criminal network in every sector of American society, with what appear to be mobile phones, inter-active maps and computer keyboards, not bad for a novel published in 1927! Rohmer as usual has made his criminals here much more interesting than those solving the crimes and like so many of Rohmer’s books, this is clearly in sections of individual short stories and would have seen magazine publication as such, this means that the story jumps about abruptly more than it should do and makes the book end far too quickly; in fact the end comes so quickly taking a couple of pages for what really needed at least a couple of chapters that it comes as a huge let down.—Neil @ Goodreads.com.
Sax Rohmer’s fame may have been based on his Fu Manchu books but he was also a prolific and extremely good writer of tales of horror.
The Leopard Couch and Other Stories of the Fantastic and Supernatural includes thirteen examples of his weird fiction.
A fine collection. Highly recommended.

4 eurocult movies I love
Planet of the Vampires (1965). Bava's sci-fi horror epic.
The Girl from Rio (1969). Jess Franco's lighthearted romp based on Sax Rohmer's lady diabolical criminal mastermind Sumuru.
Night of the Sorcerers (1974). A wild ride through the jungle.
Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man (1976). My favourite of the poliziotteschi genre.
