<<somebody here recently on the list suggested he was a violent psycho. add racist and sexist pig to the list, and he becomes even darker. is this in itself a reason to dislike spillane's books? no. lou ford is not a real likable guy, and
_killer inside me_ is considered a classic.>>

I think Spillane is poor on characterization and dialogue. But he is very strong in action scenes, just like Edgar Rice Burroughs (the closest comparison I can find, but then this morning I'm foggy). His imagination is visual.
