<<somebody here recently on the list suggested he was a
violent psycho. add racist and sexist pig to the list, and he
becomes even darker. is this in itself a reason to dislike
spillane's books? no. lou ford is not a real likable guy,
and
_killer inside me_ is considered a classic.>>
I think Spillane is poor on characterization and dialogue.
But he is very strong in action scenes, just like Edgar Rice
Burroughs (the closest comparison I can find, but then this
morning I'm foggy). His imagination is visual.
