Publisher's Summary

"Cat-Woman" by Ray Cummings, featured in the May-June 1938 edition of Terror Tales, captures the essence of the classic pulp magazine stories of that era. Known for their thrilling and sensational content, these stories often blended elements of sex, horror, mystery, and intrigue to captivate listeners.

In "Cat-Woman" the narrative revolves around a New York lawyer who embarks on a journey to a frozen canyon in Canada. Armed with promising news from London, he sets out to deliver it to the inhabitants of a cozy cabin nestled in the cold wilderness. However, as the story progresses, it becomes evident that there is an air of mystery and intrigue surrounding his visit.

The cabin itself serves as the backdrop for intense twists and turns. It is the dwelling of a stunning young woman and an elderly guardian, creating an intriguing dynamic. As the plot unfolds, the lawyer finds himself swept into a world of inexplicable happenings and strange occurrences. The story takes a dark and unexpected turn when the beautiful young girl transforms into a sex-crazed monster--a sight that shatters the lawyer's perception and sanity. The power of the narrative lies in the way it juxtaposes elements of desire, horror, and anguish, leaving the reader spellbound.

This story perfectly embodies the characteristics of the pulp magazine era, effectively employing a mix of themes like sex, horror, mystery, and intrigue to create a captivating listening experience. Ray Cummings skillfully weaves together these elements, delivering a tale that lingers in the minds of the listeners long after they have finished the story.
