I did a little more typing tonight and put up a list of recommend reading from Ron Goulart's anthology _The Hardboiled Dicks_, and also started a list of stories in the various anthologies I have. Thanks to the people who listed what's in Pronzini and Adrian's collection, that's there too. I find these lists useful in seeing what new (to me) authors I should look for. Goulart recommends Robert Reeves, which is a name I've never heard before. He says his "novels are fine examples of the screwball side of the hardboiled school." I think my favourite title of all the stories is "You Slay Me, Baby," by Frederick Davis, but "I'll Slay You in My Dreams" by Bruno Fischer is a close second. If you slap a "rara-avis/biblio/" onto my URL below, you'll get to the page where these are.
