Forgotten Stories: MURDER EXTRA! by Raoul Whitfield - READ IT HERE!
Between 1926 and 1934, Raoul Whitfield supplied more stories (66 !) to the glory years of Black Mask than any other writer, contributed heavily to air war and air adventure magazines and saw eight novels published (five mysteries and three juveniles), plus a collection of boys' stories.
"Murder Extra!" was one of only two tales appearing in Argosy, this one from March 7, 1931. In an author's profile appearing in this same issue (below), he claimed to have spent "almost a year" on the Pittsburgh Post, and he does seem to know what he's talking about. See for yourself . . .

PULP FICTION: Embracing the Inner Smart-Aleck
When Alfred Hitchcock editor Linda Landrigan asked if I'd like to to a post discussing how pulp fiction has influenced my writing, my response was a hearty "You betcha!"
Some of those influences are pictured above, and the whole soul-baring story is now playing over at the official AHMM blog, Trace Evidence.
I invite you all to bop over and take a squint at it. It's HERE!
