Ki-Gor, son of the jungle! Orphaned son of missionary Robert Kilgour, raised in the jungle, he grew to a six-foot bronzed-skin giant who ruled the jungles. Joined by Helen Vaughn, his fiance and later wife, Timbo George, the Masai chief, and N'Geeso, the chief of a Pygmy tribe, this band of adventurers roam the wilds of Africa in a series of pulp magazine stories that began in 1939 and ended with the last published story in 1954.

    Lost Worlds and discovered dangers


    Ah, my dear readers, allow me to regale you with a tale of adventure and wonderment that harkens back to the golden age of pulp fiction. I am no stranger to the world of thrilling escapades, but the audiobook "Jungle Stories #58," Winter 1953, has truly transported me to a realm of primal excitement and untamed jungles, narrated with unmatched fervor by the talented Kay Webster.

    In the heart of this audio treasure lies the saga of Ki-Gor, the son of the jungle—a character who, like Tarzan, was reared amidst the untamed wilderness and emerged as a bronzed-skin giant, ruling over the enigmatic jungles of Africa. Together with his beloved Helen Vaughn, the Masai chief Timbo George, and N'Geeso, the chief of a Pygmy tribe, they embark on a series of breathtaking adventures that encapsulate the essence of the original pulp magazine stories from 1939 to 1954. Radio Archives Pulp Classics, I must commend you on your commitment to preserving these classic tales and reintroducing them to the modern audience in audiobook form.

    At the heart of this audio gem is the full-length Ki-Gor novel, "Fane of the Python Priestess," penned by the masterful John Peter Drummond. Within this captivating narrative, our indomitable hero finds himself facing a horde of otherworldly V'lorians in an island city within the juju forest. Yet, Ki-Gor's true battle lies within himself, for his beloved Helene, his golden mate, is lost to him, trapped among the living dead in an unmarked grave. The struggle for love and survival in this eerie setting sets the stage for an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.

    But wait, dear listeners, there is more! This auditory adventure also features a collection of short stories that will leave you spellbound. "The Wizardry Of Ndeze" by J. W. Benjamin weaves a tale of African intrigue, where the young nungwates confront the Ndembo Rites—an act of death and resurrection, shrouded in fear and mystery. Only the daring Ndeze dares to hazard a guess at the outcome, leading to unexpected revelations.

    M. E. Counselman takes us on a mesmerizing journey with "The Marriage-Hat Of Golandi," where the love-struck Golandi's obsession conceals a sinister secret. The jungle hides more than its share of mysteries, and this tale is no exception.

    Lastly, "Blood for the JuJu" by E. Rickard Zoar thrusts us into a relentless confrontation with the jungle's unknown horrors. Granoah's life takes a dramatic turn as he faces an enigmatic and fierce adversary from the heart of the jungle night, bringing judgment to his doorstep.

    In conclusion, "Jungle Stories #58" is a riveting auditory experience that resurrects the spirit of bygone adventures—a fun and pulpy journey into the depths of lost worlds, where things like dinosaurs and the Lords of the apes hold dominion. Kay Webster's narration breathes life into these thrilling tales, making it a must-listen for enthusiasts of classic pulp fiction and those who yearn for an escape into the untamed heart of Africa. Radio Archives, you have captured the essence of the jungle in all its wild glory, and I salute your efforts in bringing this treasure trove of stories back to life.
