PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Attention to Books of Interest

If you like the weird west, you'll want a copy of this collection.  I found the introduction especially interesting, as Whalen explains the inspiration for each of the stories collected here.  The movies have a lot to do with them, and as a fan of The Creature from the Black Lagoon, I was partial to "Little China," whose title echoes another movie I like.  There's even a story named "Rancho Diablo," but it has no relation to the famous series of novels by the great Colby Jackson.
