I have a Willeford segue: Did Dennis McMillan publish some of
Willeford
in the 1970's (the parts of _Shark-Infested Custard_)? Is
McMillan
still publishing? I have been reading a collection of
Frederic Brown's
pulp stories (from the 30's and 40's) published by McMillan
in 1984.
The introduction says that he hopes this volume will be the
first in a
series of pulp writer re-prints. Does anyone know if the
other volumes
were issued?
I enjoyed the stories this week--the two worked as a matched
pair. It
was also fun to read a piece by rara-avis' own James
Reasoner. Both
pieces have this great effect by which the local incident
expands into
something greater and more grim and foreboding.
Peter Lance update: In his Amazon interview, he says
"Rara-avis . . .
[is a] very good daily myster [sic] newsletter on line." Mr.
Lance, a
former TV figure, is promoting like nuts (a website for his
book, an 800
number where you can call for a signed copy).
