FYI:
At Barnes & Noble the other day I picked up a new anthology
published by
Barnes & Noble Books: _Pulp_Fictions_, edited by Peter
Haining. It's
hardback, and I've already removed the price sticker and can't
remember
the exact price, but I think it was around $6. 331 pages.
Stories by
James Ellroy, Carroll John Daly (I'd always thought it was John
Carroll
Daly), Hammett, Chandler, Robert Leslie Bellem, Ross
Macdonald,
MacKinlay Kantor, Cornell Woolrich, Peter Cheyney, Spillane,
McBain,
Elmore Leonard, W.R. Burnett, James M. Cain, Samuel Fuller,
James Hadley
Chase, David Goodis, Jim Thompson, Stephen King, and Quentin
Tarantino.
The last inclusion isn't really a story, it's Christopher
Walken's
(in)famous monologue from the movie PULP FICTION, in which he
tells the
young Bruce Willis about his father's watch. --Duane
