Shambleau — C.L. Moore

"Shambleau," C.L. Moore's first story, became an instant classic when it appeared in the pages of "Weird Tales" magazine in November, 1933. Not only did it launch Moore's "Northwest Smith" interplanetary adventure series, but it breathed new life into the vampire genre. Moore would go on to become a frequent and popular contributor to the pulp magazines, alone and in collaboration with her husband, Henry Kuttner.
