I've always been intrigued by this ad, which ran in the Spicy mags in the late 30s. The original edition (left), published in 1936, is extremely scarce, so I was pleased to learn that Black Dog Books has just issued a reprint.
Johnny Harding, the randy romeo of this novel, also appeared in a series of short stories in Spicy Detective, one of which is presented below. Author Cary Moran also did a series about a guy named Mike Cockrell. (Good porn star names, eh?)
For details on the new edition (right), visit the Black Dog Books site
HERE.
And now, for your full-blooded entertainment, with no punches pulled and no beating around the bush, here's "Lottery of Death" from the May, 1936 issue of
Spicy Detective. And remember Johnny Harding's motto:
Don't shoot until you see the whites of their thighs.

Great title, cover, price.
Thanks to you i'm making a nice anthology of Detective Pulp ;)
You might want to check out the Yahoo group Pulpscans, Deka. They're making a lot of great old stories available for download.

Ther truth is, what i know this blog thanks to the Pulpscans group ;) I was searching for Jack Vance stories, and then, one day, i said "eh, why don't try other genres?" and here i am ;)
When you say "extremely scarce" about the original, I'll bet that De Luxe Limited Edition, numbered and signed by the author, bound in Novelex AAA cloth with three-color cellophane shielded jacket is even more scarce! (If it ever existed)
The only copies of this 1936 edition on Abe are $146 and $225, neither in dj, and neither sounds like the deluxe version. You'd think Cary Moran's mom (at least) would have bought one.
Thanks :)
