Emile C. Tepperman was an accomplished writer of pulp fiction of the 30s and 40s. Very little is known about Mr. Tepperman, and he is mostly remembered for its contribution to the Purple Invasion Series for Operator 5. Along with Paul Chadwick, G. T. Fleming-Roberts, and Wayne Rogers, he penned a number of Secret Agent “X” stories under the name of Brant House, a “house name” of Ace Books for its "Secret Agent "X"" magazine. "The Murder Monster" is a great pulp adventure featuring a hero that is often overlooked. In this story, “X” must defeat a hulking monstrosity and his army of robot thugs. This eBook is illustrated with the drawings of the original magazine publication in the December, 1934, issue.
