MURDER ON THE MIDWAY: THE COMPLETE BLACK MASK CASES OF THE HUMAN ENCYCLOPEDIA 1936-38 ... Introduction by Keith Alan Deutsch. N.p. Black Mask, 2022. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Collects nine of the ten Oliver Quade, "Human Encyclopedia," stories, those first published in BLACK MASK from 1936 to 1938. The tenth story, first published in THRILLING DETECTIVE, is not collected here. I guess I would buy BRASS KNUCKLES: THE OLIVER QUADE, HUMAN ENCYCLOPEDIA STORIES (1966) which collects all ten stories along with a long foreword, "The Life and Times of the Pulp Story," pages 7-46, that was later expanded as THE PULP JUNGLE (1967). A fine copy. Trade paperback format. (#177577).
