Short Fiction Cox, Erle: The Great Mendax Transmitter (v1); 3 Jan 2021

[Pulpmeister]

Erle Cox (1873-1950) was an Australian journalist, and author of three novels: Out of the Silence, (1919), Fools' Harvest (1939); and The Missing Angel (1947). These books are in the Library, re-introduced, having been moved to off-line when the site changed to L+70.

He also wrote a number of short stories, which appeared in Australian newspapers but which were never collected into a volume. Several of them feature Mendax, a mad scientist of epic proportions, and his crackpot inventions.
