Okay. Here I go again with a raft of bibliographic nonsense. There is a
brand new 'zine called Bare Bones that is published quarterly out of
Apache Junction, AZ. I have in my hand Volume 1, Issue 2, in which the
second article is a interview with Richard Prather, and which also gives
not only a bibliography of Prather's novels, but also his short stories,
the latter identified as Scott stories or not. There's also a listing of
collections, and even an annotated listing of the short-lived Shell
Scott magazine that appeared in the 60's.

Also in this issue is an article on Cornell Woolrich's "Black" series.

For a small fee ...

Never mind. You can e-mail the editor(s) and get your own subscription
information:

resrvordog@earthlink.net
DiePool@aol.com

or, Bare Bones, P.O. Box 2808, Apache Junction, AZ 85217

Recommend subscriptions because these guys have already done an article
on John Sandford's PREY series. Also planned for future issues are
articles on Ed McBain/Evan Hunter, Donald Westlake/Richard Stark novels,
and an annotated index to Web Terror/Web Detective Magazine.

"until that time, Maxwell, until that time."
