(Fall 2006) now available!
Well, okay, the issue is a little late - but then, it's still
Fall. For a few more days, anyway.
This issue covers hard-boiled fiction and characters from the
crime pulps. Monte Herridge contributes an overview of Erle
Stanley Gardner's "Senor Lobo" stories from DETECTIVE FICTION
WEEKLY. Will Murray offers a brief tribute to Grace Culver,
the feisty female detective who plied her trade in a series
of short stories for THE SHADOW MAGAZINE. Gary Lovisi
documents Britain's post-World War II boom in hard-boiled
crime digests. And Alfred Jan quotes the fulsome praise for
detective pulps offered by world-class philosopher Ludwig
Wittgenstein, who had a special fondness for yarns written by
BLACK MASK alumnus Norbert Davis.
The legendary BLACK MASK figures in three other articles as
well. In a 1929 piece penned for WRITER'S DIGEST, long-time
literary agent August Lenniger interviews MASK editor Joseph
T. Shaw, analyzes an entire issue on a story-by-story basis,
and offers tips for aspiring authors. We've also reprinted E.
R. Hagemann's excellent 1981 article on the making of THE
HARD-BOILED OMNIBUS,
"Cap" Shaw's 1946 anthology of classic MASK stories. Finally,
in this issue's installment of "Pulp Page to Silver Screen,"
BnT editor Ed Hulse weighs in on the 1937 screen adaptation
of Frederick Nebel's MacBride & Kennedy series from the
MASK.
I just took delivery of the print run. Subscribers' copies
will be mailed out over the next few days.

for postage and send payment to Ed Hulse, 2467 Route 10 East,
