Albert E Cowdrey

A monstrance of monstrous provenance proves too hot to handle for a southern neo-Nazi, who gets more than his fingers burned.

A much darker story than you generally get with Cowdrey in F&SF. As times brutal, it’s a near-future story of politics, opposition to the ruling regime, and the decisions people have to make when it’s time to stand up and be counted.

In which F&SF regulars Morrie and Jimmy carry out some spooky sleuthing in Texas.

In which Jimmie and Morrie of Paranormal Services investigated, whilst in the midst of a lovers’ tiff, a poltergeist in a bedroom.

The goddess Kali has a pivotal role to play in the lives of a group of people on a cotton plantation in the run up to the civil war. Frankly my dear, I did give a damn.

Ghost story in which young Willy Pfeiffer inherits enough money to dedicate himself to ghost-hunting.

More ne’er-do-wells from the deep south pop out from Cowdrey’s active/fetid imagination, the love of money once more being the root of all evil.

A darkly humourous espionage thriller, with an FBI agent helping a mind-reading Russian to hide from forces who wish him dead.

Relatively routine horror from a master of the genre, set in the woods against a backdrop of climate change and rebuffed love.

A dose of classic Cowdrey horror, albeit transplanted from the deep south to Europe.

Another macabre tale from New Orleans from the seemingly Duracell Extra-powered Cowdrey

Cowdrey eschews his usual deep south setting, reaching into Russian and Jewish folklore, to delve into the dark secrets of an unfrocked Russian holy man..

Chilling domestic horror.

The ghost of the public hangman finds that past misdemeanours come back to haunt him…

Five Star Protective Services are called in to protect a famous local writer when his ex-lover become an ex-person, in a story that has Cowdrey’s trademark wry humour and detailed observations.

Watery southern horrors in Cowdrey’s inimitable style.
