I finished reading Carnival of Crime and now I'm reading The Best of Fredric Brown. His SF is just as good and very different from his crime fiction. I will definitely pick up the complete volume of his SF short stories, I wish I could inexpensively get all of his crime fiction, but alas...
Ironically, Robert Bloch talks about in the intro how people would mis-spell Brown's first name and on the outside cover, Bloch's name is mis-spelled BLOCK.
FYI - George Pelecanos is speaking/signing Tuesday August 12th in DC at Politics & Prose:
