Bill, I am looking for your articles and having some
difficulty. Did you mean to cite the Oxford Companion to
Crime and Mystery Writing instead of Oxford Companion to
Mysteries and Mystery Writing? The former seems to be
available.
Also, did you mean to cite the Journal of Popular Culture
(instead of Popular Literature) that is published by the
popular literature section of BGSU. I haven't found any
copies of the former yet but I presume they are
gettable.
I seem to remember a newstand game magazine called Clues. If
that is what you refer to, there is probably little chance of
finding a copy today.
My paper on noir and parody is on my office computer. I will
email you a copy next week.
