DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/B00NT66SMG The Shadow &#8212for the
consideration of those who never heard a radio broadcast or read a pulp magazine &#8212was a
supernatural sleuth with a sepulchral chuckle. A detective whose success in tracking down
criminals became a popular long-running radio program from 1937 to 1954, after beginning a
number of years before as a ghost-like voice introducing a bone-chilling murder play that
concluded with a sinister laugh.The Shadow was originally the voice of conscience and it was
through the fear he aroused in the minds of criminals that they exposed their own villainy or
destroyed themselves. Never committing cold-blooded murder for the sake of justice, The Shadow
suffered a harrowing existence of close calls and death-defying challenges. His exploits were
many a career paced by chase and gunplay. Werewolves, vampires, psychotic murderers,
gangsters, mad scientists &#8212he battled them all. Looking back on the program today, it is
hard to decipher which was more fun &#8212The Shadow&#8217smethods at plaguing a guilty
conscience or the variety of horrors and villains he fought against.The program left an impression
on adults who enjoyed reading the pulp magazines and on young children who listened to the
chillers. Radio station KQW in San Jose, California, created its own radio advertisement to
promote the station one depicting two children at play remarking, &#8220Idon&#8217twant to be
Napoleon any more I want to be The Shadow.&#8221The Shadow was inspiration to many,
famous or fan. In his autobiography, Isaac Asimov fondly recounted filching the exciting yarns of
The Shadow pulps from his sleeping father and replacing the magazine before he woke. Dick
Ayers, creator of the Ghost Rider for the comics, admitted there was a blending of enthusiasm in
his interpretations of the Ghost Rider&#8217sspeech, influenced not by the pulp magazines, but
by having been an avid fan of the radio program. Scriptwriters for the radio program later recycled
their Shadow plots for novels and short stories &#8212Alfred Bester recycled one of his Shadow
plots into the 1952 novel The Demolished Man, which won him a Hugo Award in 1953.This 840
page book documents the entire history of the long-running radio program, with rare never-beforeseen
photos, interviews with cast and crew, and a carefully organized presentation of the facts.
Through extensive research of original radio scripts, newspapers on microfilm and various
archives across the country, this book is sure to please both casual and devoted fans of The
Shadow. An extensive episode guide with plot summaries and an index enhance the
book&#8217sappeal.
