title: The Tongueless Horror and Other Stories: The Weird Tales of Wyatt Blassingame
author: Wyatt Blassingame
description: Wyatt Blassingame ultimately wrote (and sold) every type of genre story including horror, western, romance, detective, sports, and adventure (seemingly missing only the true confession genre). His strength was in the thriller or supernatural yarn and this was his bread and butter until the war years where his time with the Naval Air Service gave him material for several books.
