The realm of The Dead converges upon that of the living,
for as withering leaves fall helplessly to earth and the land yields its final bounty,
They cross the threshold, venturing forth from Their tombs, to roam the world of mortals once again.

Clifford Ball's tales of warriors against wizardry are now complete
THRIFT WINDSTM
Chapbooks presents The Goddess Awakes, the last of Clifford Ball's three sword-and-sorcery adventures, all dating from the late 1930s.
Acknowledged as the first writer to attempt to follow in the footsteps
of Robert E. Howard's stories about Kull and Conan, Clifford Ball burst on to
the field from complete obscurity in 1937 with the sword-and-sorcery
thriller Duar the Accursed, followed it with five more well-received short stories for WEIRD TALES magazine over a handful of years, and then vanished as mysteriously as he'd come.
Having already reprinted both Duar the Accursed and The Thief of Forthe, Startling Visions Publications is proud to bring you The Goddess Awakes, the final entry into Ball's trio of stories dealing with swordsmen and the supernatural—Read More Here.
