Excerpt from the editorial in The Journal of New Historical Perspectives, Vol. 3, #4, 2011: On the night of July 15, 1903, Nikola Tesla powered up his 190-foot tower in Wardenclyffe on Long Island's north shore. The bolts of energy radiating from the apical dome were visible as far away as New Haven, Connecticut. This was the first and last time anyone would witness such a display. Three years later, broke and unable to secure further funding, Tesla abandoned the Wardenclyffe tower and his dream of worldwide wireless power. He returned to Manhattan where he promptly suffered a nervous breakdown. So say the history books. But new evidence has surfaced that a shadowy fraternal order stepped in and provided generous funding after J. P. Morgan reneged. Witnesses state that testing of the tower continued but only on foggy days when the discharges would not be noticed. The final test took place on April 18, 1906. Around dawn, in heavy fog, the tower was charged to maximum capacity; across the Atlantic, in Abereiddy, Wales, two copper prongs attached to a 50-watt lightbulb were thrust into the ground. The bulb lit. Tesla had proved that worldwide wireless power was possible. Why then, at the moment of his greatest vindication, did Nikola Tesla abandon his project? What could possibly have transpired at Wardenclyffe that day to so rattle him that he would deny the world his transformative technology? We may never know.

"I’m absolutely in love with “Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong”... thank God for F. Paul Wilson. Another masterstroke," (Bookgasm)SEX SLAVES OF THE DRAGON TONG - a Yellow Peril triptych - contains the title story, plus "Part of the Game," and the all-new "Dragon Tongue" - a trio of interconnected tales set in 1938 in San Francisco's Chinatown. Pulp fiction at its very best." 'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong'... captures the real essence of the pulps." (Publisher's Weekly)" 'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong' and 'Part of the Game'... Taken together, they form a larger and more satisfying work than many writers deliver in a whole novel... as well as a great example of Wilson's talent with character and setting." (SFRevu)" 'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong' is a fully realized throwback to the heyday of the 'yellow-peril' tale. But what else can you expect from the creator of Repairman Jack, a Shadow-like figure himself, and the best example of the pulp mentality operating in the modern day? (Green Man Reviews)Yellow Peril… how can a phrase that reeks so of racism and paranoia yield a body of fiction so… cool? The term originated in the late nineteenth century. Chinese immigrants were flooding our western shore and spreading throughout the country at a time when their homeland was growing more and more militaristic. Could this mass immigration be a silent first wave of an eventual invasion? Chinese villains became regulars in the penny dreadfuls. In 1913 Sax Rohmer created the paradigm for all oriental evil from then on: Fu-Manchu... (from the Foreword)

And then a lost man wanders out of the woods after being chased all night by...something. Jack knows, better than anyone, that the Barrens are dangerous—a true wilderness filled with people, creatures, and objects lost from sight and memory. Like the ancient, fifteen-foot-tall stone pyramid he, Weezy, and Eddie discover. Jack thinks it might have been a cage of some sort, but for what kind of animal, he can't say.
