Robbins, Tod: Silent, White and Beautiful and Other Stories. v1. 24 Apr. 2023

Three short stories and a novella: tales of the macabre.

“…good pulp fiction, with a note of whimsy and sophistication that is unusual in the form.”
—F. Bleiler


==========
Clarence Aaron Robbins (25 June 1888 – May 10, 1949), billed as C. A. Robbins and better known as Tod Robbins, was an American author of horror and mystery fiction, particularly novels and short story collections. Writing for mainstream pulp magazines, he specialized in horror fiction dealing with themes of madness and cruelty. His novel The Unholy Three (1917), about side-show performers on a crime spree, was twice adapted for the screen (both films starred Lon Chaney). His short story “Spurs” was the basis for the 1932 cult film Freaks.
