Glad to see Terrill Lankford back. He's right about Joe
Lansdale's work, and he's really right about Richard
Matheson. I AM LEGEND is a hardboiled horror novel for sure.
And THE SHRINKING MAN is hardboiled SF. I think Anthony
Boucher even mentioned something like this in his original
review of one or the other of them. They were both done for
Gold Medal, which is a clue.
