Moorich: <<NOIR FICTION: DARK HIGHWAYS sounds
especially interesting to me as you included one of my
all-time favs, Gerald Kersh. Collecting Kersh is a challenge
for an American as so much only appeared in the UK and so
many short stories are uncollected. He is worth the
effort.>>
Tosh: <<For instance I wasn't aware of Gerard Kersh. A
writer I will check up on for sure in the near
future.>>
Thanks for the encouragement guys. If you want to find out
more about Kersh, pop over to my website about him
<www.harlanellison.com/kersh/> which has an article, a
bibliography (of both books and 100s of short stories), and
even reviews of all his books from the UK and US. It is all
text-based at the moment, so it's a quick site. I'm planning
to do a major overhaul this Xmas, to include Kersh's family
photos, articles, interviews and more info on the film Night
And The City etc. I'll announce it when it is up and running.
(As for Kersh's book being hard to find, I also pick up spare
copies which I sell on - from reading copies to collector's
editions.)
If anybody is interested, I could perhaps post one or two of
the sections (they are about 1500 each) to the list. Who
would you like to read about? To recap, the list is: Fyodor
Dostoyevsky, Joseph Conrad, P J Wolfson, Nathaneal West,
Horace McCoy, James M Cain, Albert Camus, John Franklin
Bardin, William Lindsay Gresham, Gerald Kersh, Boris Vian,
Cornell Woolrich, Jim Thompson, David Karp, David Goodis,
Charles Willeford, Shane Stevens, James Ellroy, Derek
Raymond.
