A minor quibble about Brennan coming after the pulps. I am
reasonably certain that Brennan had stories in some of the
last issues of the original run of Weird Tales. While WT's
last few issues were digests, I believe one or two Brennan
stories made it into the pulps.
The Leffing stories came later with a fair number published
in Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock and
semi-prozines such as Weirdbook. Many were collected into
small edition hardbacks, some IIRC Brennan published himself.
I found the series mildly entertaining. His non-series
stories were better IMHO, and while I am certainly not an
expert on poetry, I really liked Brennan's poetry.
