Friday's Favorite OTR
Author's Playhouse: "The Kraken" 7/8/44
A really, really creepy yarn about a submarine that is captured by a giant octopus and dragged into an undersea cavern.
And based, I seem to recall, on a pulp magazine story published under one of L Ron Hubbard's many pen-names.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct. Published in 1950 in "Unknown Fantasy Fiction" under the name Frederick Engelhardt.
