Black Friday and Other Stories by David Goodis (Serpent’s Tail, January 2006, 1-85242-469-9, £8.99, xiii+434pp, hc, co) [edited by Adrian Wootton]     Collection of the title novel and a selection of short stories that Goodis wrote for the crime pulps and digests. Unfortunately the editor seems to think that the house names that Goodis wrote under (David Crewe, Logan C. Claybourne & Lance Kermit) were personal pseudonyms of Goodis such that anything published under those names must be by Goodis. This is demonstrably incorrect for one of the reprinted stories (“Man Without a Tongue” by Alden H. Norton) so the other reprints from these names must also be considered as doubtful. vii · Introduction · Adrian Wootton · in 1 · Black Friday · David Goodis · n.
