Thanks for the kind words. I wrote four stories for MSMM
about the private
detective Markham, and "Death and the Dancing Shadows" is
probably my
favorite of the four. Its appearance in the Black Lizard
anthology caught
the eye of a guy in Hollywood who wanted to make a movie out
of it. He
adapted the story into a screenplay, but nothing else ever
came of it.
Would have been nice.
My favorite story in the Black Lizard anthology is the one by
Robert Edmond
Alter (can't remember the title and don't have a copy of the
book handy).
I haven't read anything else by Alter, but this story, about
a man trapped
in a basement with a venomous snake, is a
white-knuckler.
Best,
James Reasoner
