A large crowd gathered on Friday morning, November 1st, at Bouchercon 2019 in Dallas, Texas to attend a live performance of "The Ghost Town Mortuary," a radio play written by Anthony Boucher and Denis Green. The script for this play, which was originally produced as an episode of The Casebook of Gregory Hood mystery series in 1946, was discovered in the archives of the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley among the papers of English professor George R. Stewart, who had a small role in the play as a special consultant who provides a key clue to Gregory Hood. Boucher, in whose honor Bouchercon is named, was a founding member of Mystery Writers of America in 1945, and was the founding president of the Northern California chapter in 1947.
"At Bouchercon 50, the organizers did a great job of highlighting the Anthony Boucher legacy. They featured Boucher experts Mike Nevins, Marvin Lachman, and Jeffrey Marks (as well as sons me and Jim). But the coup de grace and cherry on top was the live performance of Boucher's Gregory Hood radio play 'The Ghost Town Mortuary' by the MWA NorCal Chapter. Despite competing with nine panels and interviews at the same hour, it was very well attended. The play was performed with gusto, humor, and, dare I say, reverence, confirmed by the audience's enthusiastic reactions throughout. Encore!" -- Larry White (son of Anthony Boucher)

I don't feel you can read it without thinking about the tensions, racial and otherwise, that are happening in America now." -- SleuthSayers.org "As beautifully told as it is illustrated...Phillips uses his 50's Harlem setting to explore the nexus of pop culture, politics, and protests." -- Crime Reads, The Best Historical Fiction of 2019 (So Far) Dale Berry, below, at the opening of the new Barnes and Noble in Concord, CA. |

William E Wallace writes tough. Take his novel I Wait To Die!, set in modern times but evoking classic crime paperbacks of the 50's and 60's. The prose is lean and suspenseful, yet connects with the hard truths and the vulnerability of those caught up in the Life. It's the real underworld, driven by characters who could have emerged from the black thoughts of Jim Thompson, or the schemers
None of which should come as a surprise. After 40 years as a reporter, and a background that includes time spent as a private investigator, he knows the worlds of which he speaks.
His blog, Pulp Hack Confessions, investigates the latest in edgy, dark crime and suspense novels and the people who write them. Meeting on a panel at Left Coast Crime Portland, I was surprised to find out he'd been reading the Moonlight Cutter series for a while. To say I was flattered would be an understatement.
