Ed here: I have to say that as someone who spent nearly eighteen years along with Bob Randisi working on Mystery Scene the issue that Kate and Brian have put together is especially notable. Not only are the articles and features something every mystery lover will enjoy--the pages are all slick and there is four color from cover to cover. A huge step forward and a milestone in the magazine's history.

That looks like a great issue.
ReplyDeleteMYSTERY SCENE is more likely to be found, of late, but not always the latest issue.
ReplyDelete(Listening to 1955 GUNSMOKEs on Archive.org and the dissonance between the drama and the L&M cigs "Live Modern" campaign is pretty amusing.)
Mr. Gorman:
ReplyDeleteI am reading my second Ed Gorman novel, Save the Last Dance for Me, and picked up a glaring mistake. Larry of the Three Stooges has curly hair, not a bowl cut as you describe! Moe has the bowl cut. (I am fortunate enough to have been a cousin of Larry Fine's and he has never had a bowl cut.
Searching for this blog, I see that other's have commented on poor research in your books. How about not being so prolific and slowing down enough to properly research your writing, or (gasp!) spend a little bit of that coin you are raking in to hire a research assistant?!
Larry's Cousin
Almost as funny as the Stooges.
ReplyDelete(and the Howard and Fine Stooges weren't very funny, by me.)
