Eddie Muller writes:
"Craig McDonald, a genuine expert on the history of crime fiction (with a wonderful book of author interviews, Art in the Blood, to prove it), gives free reign to all of his crime fiction obsessions in a debut novel that's a berserk 1957-based caper running roughshod through the politics and pop culture of the latter half of the 20th century. His hero, Hec Lassiter, a pulp fiction writer, gets caught up in a plot in…

Thug Lit's newest issue contains a short story, "These Two Guys," about a couple of Ohio working men, dieting, and the end of a long and storied relationship.
The new story rounds off a cycle of shorts that have appeared in various venues around the web, each one advancing a slightly larger story that climaxes in the Thug Lit short.
The cycle begins with…

Just a quickie to say I've just ordered Head Games today, something I've been putting off for a while, cos of the amount of unread stuff laying around.
Still ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and everywhere I visit says it rocks.......better late than never, eh?
just read "Head Games" and was surprised: Under the disguise of a typical US-American crime story in form and setting it is an ambitious literary work (hope, you understand my clumsy description).
Crossing fingers for you for the Edgar (but also for, like, three others in that category. Still, the home team rules!)
I've seen your face regularly here on crime space, but I never realized that it is the face behind those wonder- and insightful interviews with James Ellroy.
It seem that you had your last interview (2006 ?) for a while online and removed it when your interview book came out. I hope you don't mind me asking, but do I recall it correctly that he asked you whether you liked "The Cold Six Thousand" ("Did you dig it ?") and you said "yes" and he answered that only 30% of it's readers liked the book.
In that part of the interview Ellroy seemed demure, almost depressed. I wondered if he will just rewrite the third book or if he will totally dump it. Do you know more ?
And congrats for the Edgar nomination. As I will review all candidates prior to the announcement of the winners I look forward to read "Head Games"
Best,
H-
