I just thought it was cool that he had a story published in WT.<br /><br />Now, if you want weird menace that's truly racy, Bruno Fischer's your man (aka Russell Gray, aka Harrison Storm --I think I've mentioned him before in this blog). Here's a great example:<br /><br />http://pulpgen.com/pulp/downloads/getpdf.php?id=70<br /><br />This one will make even you wince, I think.<br /><br />Fischer also wrote a lot of detective stuff, including the Calvin Kane, the Crab Detective, stories.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400935728460872159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28502662.post-55959717238976101072007-01-23T11:33:00.000-05:002007-01-23T11:33:00.000-05:00Amazon has seven novels, though a few are used.

I do remember reading some of his stuff years back, and all I really remember is that it's fairly standard noirish pulp. What they called racy back then really isn't- look at D.H. Lawrence. I don't think most of his short stories were weird menace anyway, unlike Bagheeta. You could try his pen name- Carlos Keith.<br /><br />If you do locate any, though, gimme a scream. I'll add it to the ever growing to read but not LIS list.Burntdiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974078204410306541noreply@blogger.com
