Description
Maxwell Grant is the pen name used by several American writers under which they published adventure works from the series about The Shadow (“The Shadow”). Most of the novels in the series were written by Walter Brown Gibson (1897–1985). He also came up with the pseudonym by combining the names of famous magicians of that time—Maxwell Holden and W. F. Grant. The series began in 1931 with the major book-and-magazine publisher Street & Smith. The Shadow novels were printed in a magazine that was called exactly that: “The Shadow.” For advertising them, the publisher launched a special radio program. Its mysterious host, at the beginning of each episode, asked: “Who knows what evil lurks in people’s hearts?” In the 1960s, a number of works from the series were released as book editions.
The main character of the series, nicknamed The Shadow, looks like a classic cinema villain. But appearances deceive: in reality, he battles evil on a world scale. The Shadow can rightfully be called an early model of Batman. Comics featuring The Shadow are still popular to this day. Here you are offered an audio version of the novel that opens the series.
