THE GOLDEN AGE reprint, April 17, 2011
This review is from: Rest in Agony (Mass Market Paperback)
Rest in Agony was written by Paul W. Fairman and published under the pen name by Ivar Jorgensen. It was published in Fantastic Adventures, January 1952.

If you want to waste your money then by all means buy this book but I'd rather catch a rerun of Dark Shadows or some other late 60s campy horror film.
