John Dickson Carr

International Polygonics Ltd., 1991

Let there be a spice of terror, of dark skies and evil...
John Dickson Carr began his professional writing career, at the age of twenty-five, with his Inspector Bencolin mystery novels. However, M. Bencolin first appeared in some of Carr's earlier college stories published in the school newspaper, "The Haverfordian." (It may surprise you to learn that John Dickson Carr was American). "The Door to Doom" includes four of those short stories, which ...

Dover Publications, 1997

Superlative collection
Having spent years combing the used bookstores from Maine to Florida for Victorian era detective fiction, I can vouch for the superlative quality of this collection. You would probably have to time-travel in order to find so many intriguing stories all in one place-including a rare gem by R. Austin Freeman which apparently has never been published before in the United States. The editor is ...

Edmund Crispin

International Polygonics Ltd., 1991

A gilded treasure from the Golden Age of British Mystery
Edmund Crispin (pseudonym for Bruce Montgomery) wrote "The Case of the Gilded Fly" in 1944 while he was still an undergraduate at St. John's College, Oxford. It features the advent of Gervase Fen, Professor of English Language and Literature, and amateur detective extraordinaire. Another of my favorite characters, the deaf and possibly senile Professor Wilkes also appears for the first time ...

John Dickson Carr: The Man Who Explained Miracles

1 review
Douglas G. Greene

Otto Penzler Books, 1995

Excellent Biography of John Dickson Carr (Carter Dickson)
John Dickson Carr excelled at creating "impossible" crimes and then explaining how they occurred. To enjoy Carr's mysteries, you must like puzzles that have intricate solutions, and not mind that a few aspects may be difficult to follow. While Carr's solutions are clever, these mysteries were written in the 1930s to 1950s, so there may be an occasional clue that doesn't hold up in today's CSI ...
