Arthur Leo Zagat’s name is on every other cover here. Those pulp writers must have written like machines!

If you are looking for your adjective, you will find it.
“Foam dripped from their protruding, slobbering lips; howls of rage mingled with gruesome cackling and horrible laughter. Great hairy arms swung threateningly up at the figures who moved restlessly about the fire. The blood-red light glinted on manacled wrists and long, pendant chains. One up-thrust, naked arm held a long white bone, horribly like the thigh bone of a human being. The creature who brandished it was chuckling, and as he snarled his eerie laughter, he thrust the gruesome relic into his mouth, and crunched on it with sickening sound.”
Zagat really was Mr. Adjective, wasn’t he?
