-----Original Message----- From: JT Lindroos [mailto:
juha@oivas.com] Otherwise I've been reading LIZA CODY's
short stories in the Crippen & Landru collection LUCKY
DIP and I'm loving this stuff...It's a lot of fun, but
there's dark stuff creeping in -- it's all handled
brilliantly with a great quirky yet real lead character, and
I can't wait to read more of her stuff. Anybody else,
recommendations?
Yeah, Juha...the mood of the Cody I've read is far into the
ultraviolet, perhaps into the Xray range (gets down to the
bone, to overextend the metaphor).
I'm sure I've mentioned Michael Chabon's "The Final Solution"
here, from what might still be the current (Summer) issue of
THE PARIS REVIEW--a Holmes story with a lot of dark resonance
and a bit of the fantastic (which may not help it)...if the
MURDER ROOMS series of television drama was to one's
liking...
And another theoretically unlikely magazine, the current
ONTARIO REVIEW, features a good share of noirish (at least)
stuff by the likes of Sheila Kohler...
...and then there's the slight but promising 1951 William
McGivern short I read in a 1951 FANTASTIC ADVENTURES the
other night...
