Who Fears The Devil? by Manly Wade Wellman

Tucked away among the ancient and rugged mountains of Western North Carolina, Madison County sometimes called ‘ The Kingdom of Madison‘ by its older citizens is one of the most misunderstood and least appreciated counties in the entire state. Now, for the first time ever, Planet Stories presents a complete authorized collection of all of Wellman’s rare Hok the Mighty tales, packed with unfinished story fragments, all new illustrations, and a brand new introduction by Wellman’s longtime friend, fantasy author David Drake. Written by rising pulpster Manly Wade Wellman Who Fears the Devil?, who would later achieve fame for his American folktales of Silver John and beat out William Faulkner for a prestigious writing award, the story and its brave hero struck a chord with Amazing’s readers, and several additional adventures followed, taking Hok through the prehistory of mankind to battle unrelenting cavemen, explore the lost city of Atlantis, discover new technology, and chart a new destiny for humanity.

Unlike the usual yarns of robots and interstellar travel, this ‘ Battle in the Dawn‘ featured the brutal exploits of Hok, the first hero of humanity, in his struggles against the savage Neanderthals.
