I'm sorry to say that although the cover for JO GAR'S
CASEBOOK has been completed, we haven't yet posted it on the
website. Which means we've really got to get the site updated
with our future pubs.
Due this week, for example, is Brendan DuBois's first
collection, THE DARK SNOW AND OTHER MYSTERIES, some of the
finest noir stories now around.
No, the linked stories in THE RAINBOW MURDERS would have made
the book far too long; JO GAR'S CASEBOOK contains only the
independent stories from BLACK MASK plus the two that
appeared in HEARST'S INTERNATIONAL. Didn't Black Lizard or No
exit publish THE RAINBOW MURDERS some years ago?
Almost ready to go to press are 2 more volumes of interest to
pulp fans: William Campbell Gault's MARKSMAN AND OTHER
STORIES, with all his Joe Puma short stories (from MANHUNT) +
a selection of non-series tales; and Hugh B. Cave's COME INTO
MY PARLOR AND OTHER STORIES FROM DETECTVIE FICTION WEEKLY. AS
most of you know, Hugh Cave, at 92, is still an active
writer, and perhaps the last survivor of the Golden Age of
Pulps (at least in the mystery field--Jack Williamson, Ray
Bradbury, and Nelson Bond, who were in sci-fi/fantasy, are
still alive).
