I foolishly assumed, a while back here, that That Charles
Williams was inadvertantly referred to, when Chas. Someone
Else was meant (which turned out to be the case, of course,
albeit another Chas. Wms.). That Charles Williams also wrote
fantasy fiction, as he was a member of the Inklings with
Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, among others less immediately
recognizable.
Whereas This Charles Williams gets a good review or several
from Bill Crider, both here and in THE BIG BOOK OF NOIR.

Charlie Williams:
<<Only Charles Williams I've picked up ever in London
is The Hot Spot. It's good to have a Charles Williams on my
shelves.>>
That one is a masterpiece. Both noir and hardboiled.
Anecdotally: there is ANOTHER Charles Williams, a scholar who
wrote on theology, I believe. That's who I'm referred to when
I ask about Williams at the better used bookstores.
