Well, as Luca's TOC posting indicates, it's an unusually
hefty anthology full of memorable stuff, with nothing I'd be
ashamed to consider for such a book. Highsmith's "The
Terrapin" is one of my favorite shorter works by her, for
example...magnificently disturbing. Almost bought a copy
myself at a secondhand store the other month, but it was
battered and $10 plus, so decided to allow my memory of
reading it twenty-some years ago suffice for now.

as well for your recommendation. We're both on Horror-L, are
we not? Anyway, I'd also like to say that though I've only
read The Zebra Striped-Hearse and a Lew Archer short fiction
collection, Ross McDonald is special to me, because he was
the first hard-boiled writer I ever read.
