Omschrijving

On a secluded jungle island in the East Indies festers a horrifying secret. There Professor Maxon has fled with his daughter Virginia following the success of his immoral experiments to subvert the laws of nature and create life. Twelve misshapen, hideous things have risen from Maxon's vats on the island-but Number Thirteen is almost human. Just how human, the latter will soon discover when he encounters Virginia, who awakens him to a strange new potential. But a treacherous ally and a cutthroat band of pirates have their sights on both Virginia and her father's treasure chest, and they will stop at nothing to possess them. Now Number Thirteen must confront not only his own abominable past and the cruelty of his human antagonists, but also the frightful, soulless monsters that rove the isle of terror thirsting for violence and blood.

Includes the bonus story "Elmer: A Tale of Stone Age Resurrection," the Rare Original Draft of "The Resurrection of Jimber-Jaw"!

A prehistoric man from the Old Stone Age wakes up in fifty thousand years later in a world of corruption, vice, and greed.

The first published version of this story appeared in the February 20, 1937 issue of Argosy Weekly under the title "The Resurrection of Jimber-Jaw" and was heavily rewritten by the magazine editor. The version of the tale included in this new edition of The Monster Men is taken from Edgar Rice Burroughs' original manuscript, and has seen only a single publication in a rare, out-of-print hardcover collection.
