The Black Shadow

The Black Shadow: Wednesday was a busy day. During the morning I was tied up with the hospital with my doctor’s appointment. Then we had afternoon thunderstorms that kept me off the computer most of the rest of the day. In the meantime I was trying, and not very well, to describe a scene I wanted as a cover to a very understanding Teresa Tunaley. I felt sorry for her trying to interpret my poor ability at describing what I wanted. But the talented artist that she is, Teresa finally picked some of more sane musings from my stumbling mumbo-jumbo, and the result is a fantastic new cover for THE BLACK SHADOW. I want to thank her for this beautiful interpretation of the scene. I’m posting the picture here so you can enlarge it to see the three-dimensional effect. She did this in one day. Thank you so much Teresa.

Guns of The Black Ghost

“Guns of The Black Ghost” by Tom Johnson. The paperback version has a cover image by Ron Wilber, with coloring by Sarge. The Kindle has a cover by Teresa Tunaley. The paperback version is out of print, but I have one copy still available for $18.00 post paid (US). It contains seven novelettes featuring the title character. This is my tribute to Walter Gibson and The Shadow. Set in contemporary times, Jimmy Malone dons a black hood and cape sending fear into the hearts of evildoers, as he battles the underworld in the tradition of a modern day Shadow or Spider. Burning eyes, a mocking laugh, and blazing automatics announce his entrance into an affray. Gangsters cringe when they come up against the guns of the Black Ghost! Available on Kindle for $3.99 at
