<<I mean Ed Gorman would be the hands-down gold
medalist in both
hack writing and hack editing in the Hack Olympics.

Nothing like good old fashioned criticism with lots of depth.
How could anyone
accuse Gorman of being a hack? Put aside his "hack writing"
for a minute
(whether you like his books or not, they ARE well written)
and explain how the
guy who has ALMOST singlehandedly resurrected crime gems from
the past could
be a hack? Outside of Bill Pronzini, I can't think of another
editor who has
done more to keep good 50s noir writing in the "public's"
eye.
