Although E. Hoffmann Price's "Satan's Daughter" got the cover--a great one by Howard Parkhurst, crowding more spicy elements onto a 7" by 10" space than is legally allowed--the January 1936 issue of SPICY MYSTERY STORIES is notable for featuring the first appearance in its pages by pulp giant Hugh Cave, who's story, "Dark Night of Doom", saw print under his Justin Case pseudonym.
