New Wildside Press freebie for Tuesday:
The Library Fuzz Minipack™, a mini-collection of vintage mystery shorts by the late James Holding, who wrote under a bunch of pseudonyms, including James Clarke Carlisle, Jr. and the Ellery Queen house name (
Wikipedia), according to the biographical write-up on his
Goodreads author profile.
James Holding (1907-1997) was a prolific short story author in the mystery field. (He also wrote children’s books—including the Ellery Queen Jr. series—but short stories were his true domain.) Among the many series he created, the “Library Fuzz” stories, about a detective Hal Johnson who tracks down overdue library books (and often stumbles across crimes) is one of the most usual...and fun!
This MINIPACK™ collects the first 5 “Library Fuzz” stories. If you enjoy them, you can also pick up The Library Fuzz MEGAPACK™, which includes 20 stories.
Enjoy!
Also, Humble Bundle's
Tales from India featuring Grant Morrison & Stan Lee full of Indian-created & inspired comics has added a graphic novel series starring a paranormal PI in Mumbai, a disappearing family mystery/adventure thriller, and something involving dinosaurs vs. aliens which looks kind of cool to the better-than-average tier, if you're interested. Ends on Thursday at 11 AM Pacific Time.
