The Spider #3 Audiobook
Wings of the Black Death

by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge

Read by Nick Santa Maria

Like the consuming flames of a prairie fire the dread news spread: “The Spider has gone mad! He will massacre us all!” But Richard Wentworth, never more sane, was even then gambling life itself in one desperate effort to save the city which cursed his name — from the awful ravages of man-spread plague!

Some writers fall into clover, but Norvell W. Page backed into a spider web that captured him for ten exciting years. Back in the difficult year of 1933, Page was working as a newspaperman and writing for the pulp magazines, when fellow pulpster mentioned that he was stuck. He had promised to deliver a horror novelette to the editor of Dime Mystery Magazine, but the deadline was too tight. So Page decided give it a shot himself.

Page's timing was perfect. He not only scored the cover of that issue of Dime Mystery, but this was his first sale to Popular Publications, who had just launched The Spider, written by R. T. M. Scott. After two issues, Scott was moving on and editor Rogers Terrill desperately needed a replacement. Page was fast, wrote vividly, and made difficult deadlines. The job was offered to Page. His background as a crime reporter didn't hurt his resume either.

The December, 1933 issue of The Spider ushered in the era of Grant Stockbridge with the thrilling Spider exploit, Wings of the Black Death. With his first white-heat story, Norvell Page owned the series. No doubt, he saved it from oblivion. In a few short months, Page remade Richard Wentworth alias the Spider into a messianic avenger unlike anything pulp readers ever read before. Driven, deadly, the Spider was a daredevil caught between the law that branded him as a criminal and the underworld he terrorized with his metallic laugh and searing lead.

Radio Archives is proud to present Norvell Page's debut Spider exploit—a desperate struggle against overwhelming odds to save Manhattan from being overwhelmed by a man-made Plague. Read by Nick Santa Maria.

Spider vs a bio terrorist.	Tuesday, February 13, 2024
Reviewer: Daniel Alexander from La Crosse, WI United States

This action thiller never lets up for a minute. A mastermind uses a fast acting strain of the bubonic plague (the Black Death) to extort money. The Spider will not let that stand! Great plot and great narration.

Who needs tv?	Thursday, February 28, 2013
Reviewer: Jonathan White from Apache Junction, AZ United States

Despite the fact that tv is more lame than ever, it never could adequately compete with the theater of the mind. These marvelous pulps in written or audio format are thoroughly entertaining and easily excell Hollywood's shallow and adolescent comicbook mentality. The performance in this audio presentation is worthy of the greatest OTR, but the fact that the complete novel is performed make it far more satisfying than a half-hour program would allow.
