Oh, there were lots of gems falling out from the pulps - just
check the Steve Midnight collection by John K. Butler that
came out in the late nineties. It's excellent, and I'd bet
some money on Chandler being influenced by Butler. Also W.T.
Ballard who made some very good Western paperbacks in the
fifties. (Isn't there a collection of his Bill Lennox stories
that came in Black Mask?) There are lots of gems and I won't
go into mentioning all of them, but I've read enjoyable pulp
stories by such total unknowns as H.H. Stinson and Richard
Dermody. (Stinson is in the Black Mask group picture with
Hammett and Chandler, though, so he's not exactly a total
unknown.)
