The Spider #92 Audiobook

The Devil's Paymaster

by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge

Read by Nick Santa Maria

People were dying by the score — dying painfully, of an ailment absolutely unknown to science! Each victim had recently touched some precious metal; only that much was determined... until Richard Wentworth, in the sinister guise of the Spider, faced almost certain death at the hands of a criminal genius — who had come back from the depths of Davey Jones!

During the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction, three publications ranked as the most popular: The Shadow, Doc Savage, and the Spider.

One of the things that sets the Spider apart from other hero characters is magnitude; the villains commit acts of destruction on a grand scale, sinking whole ocean liners, toppling entire buildings, wiping out entire towns with germ warfare. The evil masterminds are in truth more terrorists than criminals, their villainy often more for its own sake than any concrete plan for profit.

The stories plunge along head-first aboard an emotional roller-coaster, with scarcely a moment’s pause for respite. Much of the action takes place in the tenements and slums, the poor and lower classes victimized as readily as the rich. Oriental death-traps, treacherously alluring women, and rabid, machine-gun toting gangsters are all part of a typical day for the hero; Wentworth is frequently suspected of being the dreaded Spider, his home is periodically destroyed, his servants and friends tortured.

Nick Santa Maria again takes on the dual role of Richard Wentworth, aka the Spider, Master of Men, for this powerful story. The Devil's Paymaster originally published in The Spider magazine, May, 1941.
