Publishing History

A Limited Edition of this collection of Paul Cain’s fiction, conceived and edited by Keith Alan Deutsch for Black Mask Press, was published by Centipede Press in February 2012, and copyright 2011 by Keith Alan Deutsch. This new, 2013 edition owes much to the time spent discussing Paul Cain and his fiction with Max Allan Collins and with Lynn F. Myers, Jr., during the years in which the earlier anthology was assembled.
