"The Spider #83 - Pirates From Hell"
Just finished listening to "The Spider #83 - Pirates From Hell" by Grant Stockbridge, aka Norvell W. Page, released by Radio Archives.
Now I am a firm believer in being open with associations and providing full disclosure: Though we have never met in person, I am friends Nick Santa Maria here on Facebook, who has performed all The Spider novels for Radio Archives, and I have written some of the liner notes for some of Radio Archives other releases.
Richard Wentworth, alias The Spider, is one of the greatest anti-heroes from the Golden Age of the Pulps. To fight crime, Wentworth had adopted the alter-ego of The Spider and proclaimed himself the protector of humanity. The Spider differed from other Pulp heroes of the era because he killed criminals. It can be argued that Wentworth was a prototype of the modern day serial killer Dexter. Like a serial killer, Wentworth does mark his victims with the Seal of The Spider, to mark those who has killed for the good of humanity. The Spider rarely gave second chances unless it suited one of his overall plans.
In "Pirates From Hell," Wentworth dons his guise as The Spider to put an end to the reign of terror being unleashed by LaFitte, a modern day pirate who has made it his mission to kill The Spider.
Nick Santa Maria gives his usual virtuoso performance as Richard Wentworth/The Spider and brings the supporting characters to vivid, crisp life, each with their distinctive voice.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
