TEEREREKERER EEE Unendurable Ecstasy and Inconceivable Doom! TEMPTRESS OF THE TOWER OF TORTURE AND SIN is a great story by the master of romantic adventure, Robert E. Howard. Lost to moderns, it is now brought back for the special entertainment and delight of everyone who enjoys exotic fantasy. Deep in the heart of a lost city, a beautiful girl swayed to the beat of a monster gong—and two stalwart adventurers who had thought that they lived in the Twentieth Century learned too late the thousand-year old secret of a total fascination. She was Naluna, the temple-dancer of Eridu, city of the Tower of Babel . . . and her voluptuous dance was designed by an ancient god of evil to be the climactic sight in the tortured eyes of men. This unusual story is only one of many in this fine collection. There are also: YLLA by Ray Bradbury: She was the faithful wife of a Mar- tian but something odd was troubling her heart that eerie morning—a strange song that only an Earthman could sing, yet no Earthman had ever landed on their planet! THE CAVE OF THE INVISIBLE by James Francis Dwyer: A truly different fantasy, laid in the South Pacific, but breathing the fearful breath of a terror a hundred million years for- gotten! THE Cursk OF YIG by Zealia Brown Bishop: She was the Mother of Snakes and her progeny were beings out of night- mare—a story in the great Lovecraft tradition. Many more selected and superior fantasies by David H. Keller, Ray Cummings, Allison V. Harding, and others make this number of the Avon Fantasy Reader an outstanding event in imaginative reading. —D.A.W. BKK FOE comicbooks.com
