The Black Bat #20 Audiobook
The Murder Prophet
by G. Wayman Jones
Read by Milton Bagby
 
 
Out of the night comes a menacing winged figure! Blind district attorney Tony Quinn takes his battle for justice from the courtrooms to the streets, battling evil as The Black Bat!
 
Ruin stalks a newspaper when a sinister prophet predicts murder before it happens! Follow The Black Bat as he takes the trail of a mysterious horde of killers!
 
Although Norman A. Daniels was the writer behind the house name G Wayman Jones writing The Black Bat for the majority of the series, other writers contributed work as well throughout the character’s fourteen year run. Writers such as Whit Elsworth and Stewart Sterling have been connected to The Black Bat series over the years, but proving their contributions has been a bit difficult, due primarily to scarcity of records from both Thrilling and the authors themselves.
 
One author who did contribute three stories to The Black Bat series was Laurence Donovan, including The Murder Prophet, one of two stories with this title in the canon. A native of Ohio, Donovan broke into writing as a reporter for various papers. He also put in some time as a writer in the early days of Hollywood. His pulp career began in the late 1920s. He proved early on that not only was he willing to write in any genre, he actually had the skill to do so, adapting to more sophisticated subjects for some magazines, while contributing also to some of the wilder markets, such as Zeppelin Stories.
 
Donovan would go on to write nine Doc Savage novels and even create the well-known character The Skipper for Street and Smith. His work on The Black Bat bears the distinctive style he brought to all his other work, including an evenly paced build up of suspense partnered with well-constructed characterizations. Donovan’s stories stand up alongside some of Daniels’ best work in The Black Bat series.
 
Thrill to The Murder Prophet, originally published in Black Book Detective #53 September 1942 and read with two fisted excitement by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.
