A dark night, ominous fog, a sense of mounting fear... Suddenly, a shadow falls across your path - the Shadow of Fu Manchu! Created by writer Sax Rohmer, the sinister criminal mastermind is one of the most memorable villains in literary history, personifying the fascination and fear with which many Westerners viewed the cultures of the Far East at the turn of the 20th century. After appearing in a popular series of novels and short stories, Fu Manchu came to radio in 1939 in a series which many consider one of the best adventure serials ever produced. Starring Gale Gordon and Hanley Stafford, with Lou Marcelle in the title role, Radio Archives is pleased to reintroduce this pulp fiction classic to a whole new generation of listeners in 45 rare suspense-filled programs of high adventure.
