For Warren Pollinger the war had been a nightmare, and he has spent some of it as a combat fatigue patient. Following the war, he tried to pick up the pieces and live his life.

The Iron Maiden by Carter Brown

Hold That Corpse

US Edition

Larry Baker was sure he was dreaming, and he didn't want to wake up. An English castle full of willing maidens, a big fat advance, and all expenses paid. All he had to do was write a grade B movie script, starring Desiree Dawn, the lord of the manor's luscious wife, and using the ancestral home as his setting. Larry was on Easy Street, and enjoying every minute of it until things got out of hand. His script started writing itself, but Larry didn't like the way the plot was going. First the family ghost was seen walking the dungeons. Then Larry found himself chasing missing bodies and falling into secret passages. His dream job was now a nightmare, and Larry wanted to write the movie off as a total loss. It was either that or let someone else finish the story with a big bang that had "the end" of Larry Baker written all over it......
