Finished this morning over thick black coffee. Gave me the creeps last night. What a lovely collection of creepy, hardboiled stories.

I didn't like this batch quite as much as "Pulp Ink 1" -- but there was still plenty to like here, and plenty of variety. Plus, the themes and tone of this collection differed from #1. So I was by no means unhappy I read this collection and encourage getting it -- it's great entertainment value. Yet I thought a few more stories were slightly wide of the mark, and (with a few exceptions) the hits didn't engender quite the same reaction as the best of "Pulp Ink 1" did.
