For the first EyeCon I worked up a little something on Milton
K. Ozaki. Here's an excerpt related to the Topic for Today.
My favorite is the one about the elevator.
Bill Crider
[Ozaki] was a master of describing what happens when a p.i.
is hit on the head:
From The Scented Flesh (1951):
"Then the world exploded."
From Too Young to Die (1954):
"Then a rainbow exploded inside my head and the
floor reached up for me."
From Sucker Bait (1955):
"The pavement reached up for me."
"Then the elevator leaned over and slammed me on the
head."
From Maid for Murder (1955):
"I fell slowly forward into a deep black
box."
From Never Say Die (1956):
"A long black tunnel rushed at me . . . ."
"[T]hen the back of my head exploded."
