I think SALLY'S IN THE ALLEY, with Doan and Carstairs, is his best book. THE MOUSE IN THE MOUNTAIN is a close second.I'm aware of the Max Latin volume, and of other anthologies which a single story, but I'd love to see a hefty volume (or volumes)reprinting pages and pages of his short stories.Rittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145597443811879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-19762454408356080632012-06-03T16:13:57.382-05:002012-06-03T16:13:57.382-05:00I, too, first encountered Norbert Davis in the lat...I, too, first encountered Norbert Davis in the late '60s via the influential Goulart anthology. A very under-rated, under-recognized writer. Maybe it had something to do with his early death, which was re-recorded in the intro piece to the Black Horse Extra online magazine for December 2010 ... along with a comment by Davis on pulp fiction. The circumstances of its making were more than enough to endear Davis's fiction to most readers of this blog!Chap O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404176810063857291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-12286553812941051572012-06-03T14:09:33.635-05:002012-06-03T14:09:33.635-05:00Steve M also gave this a very good review that can...Steve M also gave this a very good review that can be found on westernfictionreview. com.

When I first read it in the late 1960's, I was collecting only the SF pulps. Goulart's book made me aware that it was possible to collect other pulps like detective, western, adventure. I wrote him a fan letter and he sold me his detective pulps that he used for his research on the collection.<br /><br />DEAD MAN'S BRAND is another collection that I like, in fact I even reviewed it on amazon.com. Black Dog Books is publishing some excellent and unusual books. For instance, they just published a collection of Fred Nebel stories; not his detective work but his adventure fiction.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
