Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in one place, Roger M. Sobin has compiled a list of nominees and award winners of virtually every mystery award ever presented. He has also included many of the “best of” lists by more than fifty of the most important contributors to the genre.; Mr. Sobin spent more than two decades gathering the data and lists in this volume, much of that time he used to recheck the accuracy of the material he had collected. Several of the “best of” lists appear here for the first time in book form. Several others have been unavailable for a number of years.; Of special note, are Anthony Boucher’s “Best Picks for the Year.” Boucher, one of the major mystery reviewers of all time, reviewed for The San Francisco Chronicle, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and The New York Times. From these resources Mr. Sobin created “Boucher’s Best” and “Important Lists to Consider,” lists that provide insight into important writing in the field from 1942 through Boucher’s death in 1968.? This is a great resource for all mystery readers and collectors.; ; Winner of the 2008 Macavity Awards for Best Mystery Nonfiction.

Download or read book Doubleday's Crime Club written by Ed Hulse and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-05-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1928, the publishing house Doubleday, Doran formed a separate division to publish mystery and detective stories exclusively. The Crime Club, Inc. became an industry phenomenon, publishing nearly 2,500 books over the next 63 years. It was home to many of the genre's most famous characters, including The Saint, Bulldog Drummond, Hildegarde Withers, and the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu. It introduced American readers to the works of many prominent British crime-fiction authors, among them Margery Allingham, H. C. Bailey, Anthony Berkeley, and Philip MacDonald. A significant number of Crime Club books attained best-seller status, and many were licensed by Hollywood studios for adaptation to the silver screen. Few mystery readers failed to recognize the Club's modernistic trademark, which appeared on every volume and was affectionately known as "the Little Gunman." In this monograph, pop-culture historian Ed Hulse (The Blood 'n' Thunder Guide to Pulp Fiction, The Art of Pulp Fiction, etc.) meticulously chronicles the Crime Club's Golden Age-1928 to 1940-in extensive detail, reporting on the imprint's corporate structure, personnel changes, and marketing strategies. He discusses its most notable books and authors and places the Club in its proper historical context. Hulse also presents the first complete chronological list of Crime Club releases, identifying the monthly "Selections" sent to subscribing members during this period. He lists the Crime Club movies made between 1928 and 1940 and extensively covers the eight 1937-39 Crime Club adaptations produced by Universal Pictures. Finally, Old Time Radio researcher Karl Schadow weighs in on early broadcasts that adapted Crime Club mysteries for thrill-hungry listeners. The monograph is profusely illustrated with reproductions of dust jackets, photographs from film versions, and advertisements from publishing-industry trade journals.

Download or read book Ashenden written by W. Somerset Maugham and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2023-01-01T20:46:22Z with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War I W. Somerset Maugham, already by then an established playwright and author, was recruited to be a British intelligence agent. These stories reflect his wartime experiences in intelligence gathering. Though fictionalized, they managed to retain enough authentic elements for Winston Churchill to advise Maugham that their publication might be a violation of the Official Secrets Act, resulting in the author burning an additional 14 stories. Set in various locales across the continent, these remaining Ashenden stories are a precursor to the jet-setting spy novels of the 1950s and 1960s. Maugham is known as a master short story writer and these stories are no exception, combining wit and realism to create memorable characters in a unique and highly critical portrait of wartime espionage. Initially released to a mixed reception—with an early review by D. H. Lawrence being especially scathing—Ashenden has since been credited as an inspiration for numerous authors, including John Le Carré, Graham Greene, and Raymond Chandler. The latter in particular was especially impressed, writing in 1950, “There are no other great spy stories—none at all. I have been searching and I know.” This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
