His foster family already had 10 children. They were poor but a loving and happy family. He took the name Dick Freeman but wrote as Edgar Wallace and grew to be one of the most successful and widely-read popular novelists in the world, with about 173 novels and 40 plays to his bibliography. At one point in his career 25% of all books sold in Britain were by Wallace, and his total sales to date are over 25,000,000. Texas Looking to adopt? Pregnant? He wrote the first 1,500 words of each novel in longhand, and then would dictate the rest to his secretary; he never revised or corrected anything - that was left to the secretary. In addition, he was a prolific journalist. Although highly successful, he died deeply in debt, because he spent his fortune as fast as he earned it; he had to keep writing at the pace he did to sustain his lavish lifestyle.

Wallace was born in London, the son of actors Mary Jane Richards and T. H. Edgar. Handed over as a baby to the wife of a fish porter to raise, Wallace had a difficult childhood. He worked as a deep-sea fisherman and a builder's laborer and at age 18 enlisted in the army. Sent to South Africa in 1896, he began to write songs, poems, and articles for periodicals. A journalistic scoop, which enabled the Daily Mail to announce the end of the Boer War (1889-1902) in advance of an official news release, led to his employment as a reporter on his return. His first book was a collection of verses called Writ in Barracks (1900), closely modeled on

Gerald [probably Gerald du Maurier, the actor-manager] does most of the costing - I find it more restful not to oppose the suggestions of the management! At the same time if your review is offered to me I shall say yes." Edgar Wallace, the illegitimate son of two actors, was brought up by a Billingsgate fish porter and left school at twelve. In a writing career of under thirty years he wrote over a hundred and seventy books and 15 plays, as well as innumerable magazine and newpaper articles and contributions to reviews. His detective and suspense stories were enormously successful and he was in his heyday one of the most popular writers in the world. He died suddenly in Hollywood while working on the screenplay for King Kong . His address, Clarence Gate Gardens, is a pleasant red-brick street of Edwardian apartments, near Regent's Park. In the 1920's it was also the home of T.S. Eliot.

EDGAR WALLACE English author (1875-1932) Biography: Edgar Wallace, journalist, novelist and playwright, was born in Greenwich in 1875. He left school at a very young age and took menial jobs before enrolling in the Army. In 1896 he was sent to Africa, were he wrote his first war poems, later collected in The Mission that failed (1898). He also began contributing in various newspapers like Daily Mail or Standard In 1905, his first novel titled The Four Just Men appeared, and with Sanders of the River (1911) his reputation as a writer was stablished. The Green Archer (1923), dealing with supernatural forces in a ghost-haunted castle, is one of his most famous novels and it has been filmed at leats three times. The Terror (1930) still ranks high as a thriller. He wrote several plays, like The Calendar (1929) or On the Spot and The Case of the Frightened Lady (1931). In all, he was the author of more than 150 detective and adventure novels. He died in 1932, while working on the scenarios for King Kong , film released in 1933.

The Edgar Wallace Page H. G. Wells, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens and other Victorian/Colonial authors somehow endure in the public consciousness, but Wallace (although he still commands the attention of a few readers, and even has a scholarly society dedicated to the study of his works) has been all but obliterated from memory, even though his life and works are the subject of an excellent critical biography by Margaret Lane, Edgar Wallace: The Biography of a Phenomenon. This act of erasure, as I will argue, is not entirely surprising, for Wallace's fictive voice represents one of the last unexamined sites of British Colonial discourse, sweeping across an astounding output of work as a novelist, short story writer, newspaper essayist, dramatic critic, playwright, and even as the director of some of the films made from his various texts. Thus, for many, Wallace is better forgotten than examined, as a literary relic of an age of social inequity and exploitation best left to gather dust on the shelves of the various libraries and bookshops where one can still find his mostly out-of-print texts. But a closer scrutiny of Wallace's work reveals a series of structures that one can find of both great interest and usefulness in our present sphere of textual and social discourse. The works of Edgar Wallace represent nothing less than a blueprint for the hegemonic structure of British Colonialism, and thus Colonialism as practiced by other nations and societies. The narrative structures of his works offer as well as a catalogue of the assumptions and unspoken rules and values governing Colonial discourse, which is precisely why Wallace was such a popular writer during his lifetime, and why his work is unknown today.

"From King Kong to The Gorilla Gang ; from Bela Lugosi to Klaus Kinski; from Alfred Vohrer to Jess Franco, the man with "little" lasting literary value has spawned a vast and satisfying cinematic legacy..." What do King Kong, Bela Lugosi, Klaus Kinski, and Christoper Lee all have in common? Give up? The answer lies in a unique literary thread that runs through many cinematic thrillers...a thread we call... By GARY BANKS (Editor's note: We are again gratified to usher in another talented writer into the rotted ranks of HORROR-WOOD. Gary Banks, also know as "evil skippy," is married and lives with his wife and two dogs, Alex and The Professor. He is disabled, which gives him plenty of time to view cool obscure movies. Gary is also the proprietor of evilskip's Movie Joint Website One of the writers behind the classic film King Kong felt that his works had no lasting literary value. With that motivation he felt that quantity would be his stepping stone to everlasting fame. So over a 25-year period, Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) ground out over 170 novels and various plays and short stories. E.W. was revered by the English and the Germans (and rightfully so). There have been over 150 film adaptations of his work. As early as 1928, films were made based on Wallace's novels. Wallace also was credited for contributing to the screenplay of

Edgar Wallace Part One 1960-1962 Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a prolific writer of over 180 novels.His son Bryan also wrote mystery novels for a living.EW is revered by the English and the Germans (and rightfully so).There have been over 150 film adaptations of his work.We'll concentrate on the output of the West Germans from 1959 to 1970.We're also handicapped by the fact that I haven't seen them all. In the 1960's two major West German studios produced Edgar Wallace thrillers. Actually The Avenger was lensed by a third studio that was quickly embroiled in a lawsuit.Rialto produced the majority of the EW adaptations. CCC produced a few based on the works of Bryan Wallace.They were Secret Of The Black Trunk, Strangler Of Blackmoor Castle,Phantom Of In most of the films English country estates were transformed into cold, fog shrouded pockets of evil where death would strike at any moment.It often did, swift and savagely to the consternation of Scotland Yard.The London streets were no place any innocent person would dare to venture.The Thames was a river of death as bodies washed up on almost a nightly basis.(Of course these were all filmed in Germany so we have to accept Hamburg locations for Soho).

MORE FROM EDGAR WALLACE ON THE SPOT by Edgar Wallace This is a grim, roaring story of Chicago's gang wars and the 'rackets'. The relentless fury of their feuds creates almost unbearable suspense and tense excitement. The Big Shot, Tony Perelli, is a figure of cold brutality and enslaving power. His ruthlessness burns into the hearts of his gunmen, turning them into machines that have to kill. A raw, chilling excitement emphasizes the humanity of those caught in Perelli's dominance - Minn Lee, his girl; Angelo Verona, his gang lieutenant; and the weak Jimmy, a tragic figure who finds his courage in a desperate climax. First published in Great Britain by John Long Ltd. 1931 Arrow Edition first published 1955 This edition 1962 THE FEATHERED SERPENT by Edgar Wallace About the Author: EDGAR WALLACE (1875-1932) was born in London. His parents died when he was very young and he was sent to a workhouse; but a few years later he was adopted by a fish porter who sent him to a board school in Peckham. As he grew up he tried various jobs: in a rubber factory, on a Grimsby trawler, as a milk-boy, and as a newspaper seller. He joined the army in 1899 and was sent to South Africa. At the end of the war, in 1902, he decided to turn to journalism and returned to South Africa as war correspondent for Reuter's agency. His first story was The Four Just Men which he published at his own expense in 1905. After this, for the space of twenty years, Wallace wrote or dictated about 150 novels of which over thirty have now been made into films or plays. He found his true metier in 'thrillers', peculiarly his own creation, which he himself called "pirate stories in modern dress."
