Short Fiction Various; Past Masters 223, v1, 11 Jun 2025

[Pulpmeister]

24 stories (actually, one is a review) in the Life+70 public domain; the review is by me, and was already published into the public domain in 2012. I thought my two volumes of Mark Hellinger short stories (100 stories per volume! uploaded to the MobileRead library a few years ago) were pretty much the lot published in Australian newspapers, but I have found another. Crime, romance, adventure, humour as usual.
