For the second edition in a row, The Thrilling Detective Web Site has borrowed its cover art from a Hard Case Crime novel. The fall 2007 issue featured Arthur Suydam’s illustration from Dead Street, the first posthumous novel from Mickey Spillane. Now comes the Holiday 2007 issue, introduced by Terry Beatty’s jacket art for Deadly Beloved, the first Ms. Tree novel from Max Allan Collins. This signals, of course, that there’s an excerpt from Deadly Beloved to be found in these cyberpages, along with other short fiction by Dick Stodhill, R. Narvaez, and Paul Sundeson.
On top of all those, you’ll find here the latest Cheap Thrills Awards poll, with its wonderfully titled prize categories, including: “By the Balls: The P.I. Book That Grabbed You Hardest in 2007,” “Wisdom of the Ages: The Best Thing I Ever Learned from a P.I. Novel This Year Was ...,” and “The Limp Dick Award: Biggest Disappointment.” There’s an additional suggestion box at the end, asking how The Thrilling Detective Web Site should celebrate its 10th anniversary (has it really been that long?), coming up this spring.
The goodies--and baddies--are all to be had here.

Dang. Right after I uploaded the preliminary -- and very rough -- draft, my health took a nosedive (&^%$# cold!) and it's taken me until today to more or less tweak it so that it's fit for human consumption. But yes, we are now open for business. Thanks, as always, Jeff, for helping to spread the word.
Drop by, take your fedora off, stay a while. Crack open a beer.
And by all means, take part in the Thrillies. Vote early, vote often.
It might be nice to involved in something where what you think actually matters. Plus it beats having to go all the way to Iowa.
