SMFS Member Publishing News: Josh Pachter

SMFS list member Josh Pachter is the editor of The Man Who Read Mysteries: The Short Fiction of William Brittain just published by Crippen And Landru.

Publisher Synopsis:

It’s been worth the wait. One of the authors most requested by Crippen & Landru readers throughout its 25-year history has been mystery writer William Brittain, whose fiction challenges the reader with tricky plots presented in a unique style.

For the first time, all of the popular “Man Who Read” stories and a selection of the Mr. Strang stories have been collected into a single volume. Both series appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine during the mid-years of the 20^th century. Sadly, Brittain later forsook mystery fiction to become a children’s author, and his YA novel The Wish Giver earned him a Newbery Honor award.

This collection was edited by Josh Pachter, who also wrote the introduction and compiled a bibliography of Brittain’s many publications. 

Short Mystery Fiction Society in the inSinC- December 2016

Past President Jan Christensen has an article in the December issue about SMFS. She explains a little bit about the group and how she became involved in it. The interesting piece is on page 16.

Also in the issue just before that is a two page article from SMFS member Debra Goldstein on "Short Mystery Anthologies." This piece is the first of a two part interview article with editors Michele Slung, Jon Betancourt, and Jay Hartman. Debra also is the Head of the SinC Short Story Initiative adopted by the group under the moniker, "We Love Short Stories."
