Frank Belknap Long - The Man With A Thousand Legs: (Weird Tales, August 1927). Arthur St. Armand, youthful mad scientist, experiments with etheric vibrations (whatever they are) transforms him into a blood-drinking half man - half squid trailing streams of noxious golden slime. The many tentacled monstrosity commits several gruesome murders - notably those of a child and a heroic diver he takes apart piece by piece - before heading out to sea. The part that is still Armand pleads with a lighthouse keeper for help but, rejected, takes out a cutter, killing a hundred men in the process before meeting its doom. Utterly bonkers and a true horror pulp classic.
Frank Lillie Pollock - The Last Dawn: New York. Eastwood and his team at Columbia University Observatory keep vigil for the imminent new star which, provided it shows, will prove Prof. Bernier's theory that the universe is finite. At last it appears, two weeks late. "Oh, ace!" thinks Eastwood, "this will be great!" The new star promptly sets the planet ablaze killing everyone. Eastwood and assistant Alice are the last to go and she decides that now is as good a time as any to have her first bunk up so at least they go out on a happy note.
