I've read a lot of works from Weird Tales, but now I'm looking for a place to begin reading the crime pulps. I recently finished Hammett's "Red Harvest" and Chandler's "The Big Sleep," but those are the two big names in crime I know.

I'm not opposed to reading more pulp novels, but I'd really like a place to start for stories. I know there's a lot on Munseys.com and Pulpgen, but I don't know where to start. I've also got collections of Chandler and Hammett stories, have downloaded all the samplers on here I could find, now I'd just like some direction...

Thanks,
Andy
