The preface to Samuel W. Taylor’s “Deadfall”, as I read in LRI’s Realm of the Impossible, claims it is one of the 27 masterpieces of short story chosen by Robert Adey and Roland Lacourbe in 1001 Chambres Closes. However, the list of these masterpieces currently on that very site of LRI has only twelve entries. Even the number of Edward D. Hoch stories is mismatched: nine versus six. Would you know how the correct version of that list looks like? Perhaps, indeed there are more stories.JPRidgewayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03239204379942649749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-48544752489699792522012-01-08T11:28:08.849-05:002012-01-08T11:28:08.849-05:00Impressive blog, Patrick!

But still an admirably executed impossible crime story. Anyway, this collection sounds like it should belong in the catalogue of Crippen and Landru.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
