"As the title indicates, there's a cult. An ancient India cult has been transplanted to America and is cultivating crime. Terrible murders are its trademark. The victim is strangled. And on the forehead is a small white mark, the size of the dime - a ghastly symbol of the evil deed. But who's the grotesque figurehead of this cult - the one known as Charn? Only The Shadow can uncover the solution in this strange and mystifying tale."
I've read this a few times and enjoyed it every time. My first time was in 1975 and wrapped in this cover by Jim Steranko.
This is a true pulp homage. A hand, a code and a pretty sinister version of The Shadow. So what do you think? Pulp or paperback, which cover works best for you. Hint... there is no wrong answer.
