COMING ATTRACTIONS http://members.cox.net/comingattractions/ -- and if
you don't read it every week, why not -- announces that the Hard Case
Crime paperbacks will publish a recently discovered Lester Dent
manuscript in 2009.
I'm having a hard time believing this, and even if true, having even a
harder time believing it would be any good.
I mean, Dent's been dead since 1959. The papers have been gone
through and donated. You would have to think that if there was
anything there, anything, it would have ocme out decades ago -- like
at the time when THE AVENGER paperbacks came out, or Farmer's DOC
SAVAGE bio.
And what would it be like, even if it does exist. Recalling the
disaster of the posthumous unpublished Heinlein, TO US, THE LIVING
that never should have seen the light of day, and other posthumous
finds, never good.
