I have downloaded 54 .pdf files of M Shayne MM issues from the internet. Many are no longer available. I've chosen four of your Shayne stories to read in two weeks.<br />I've collected ALL the Dennis Lynds and have moved on to the age of Reasoner and Washburn...

Is my memory playing tricks on me (always a possibility these days) or are you the one who had the Flagler Street website devoted to Mike Shayne? That was a great site. The Internet Archive has some MSMM issues, too, but only one with a Shayne story by me, "Death in Texas" in the 9/82 issue. But they're all worth reading and a couple of them go back to the magazine's early days in the Fifties.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-33417964948211513622024-02-20T23:58:45.105-06:002024-02-20T23:58:45.105-06:00Mr. Reasoner and Commenters: sorry that my commen...Mr. Reasoner and Commenters: sorry that my comment has come 17 years too late. I own 156 issues of Mike Shayne Mystery Magazines (of the 337) containing most everything JMR has written there; his 59 stories under "Halliday" or "Reasoner" or "M.R. James." Of those 59, I have read only 19.. but I own 49 of those stories. So, I have my work cut out for me, ha ha.<br />Let me point your readers to the website, www.Luminist.org/archives/PU/ where you can scroll down to MIKE SHAYNE and download or read 1980 April, 1982 Sept, Nov for free. Mr Reasoner, "The Golden Bhudda Caper" was in Apr 1980.

I picked up a bundle of the magazines several months ago. Unfortunately, they are packed away right now, for our move to Idaho at the end of July.

And at this point I don't know who actually owns the rights to them, since Renown Publications hasn't existed for a long time. I assume the Davis Dresser estate just licensed the Shayne character to Renown and retained the rights to the stories themselves. Whoever has the copyright, it should still be valid.<BR/><BR/>That said, a few years ago a small press publisher approached me about reprinting some of the Shayne stories from the magazine (not just mine, but some by the other Halliday ghosts, too). I gave him some information and he was going to research the copyrights, but I never heard anything else so I assume he abandoned the project.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-1151066991702833422006-06-23T07:49:00.000-05:002006-06-23T07:49:00.000-05:00Would it be possible to get some of these reprinte...Would it be possible to get some of these reprinted or would it violate the Halliday copyright holders?Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-1151019153125691892006-06-22T18:32:00.000-05:002006-06-22T18:32:00.000-05:00Thanks for listing these.
