From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Nicholas=20Gevers?= <vermoulian@yahoo.com> Subject: (urth) The Walking Sticks Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 09:19:27 +0100 (BST) I asked Pete Crowther if he could provide some information on Wolfe's recent story "The Walking Sticks", to be found in the (rather expensive) anthology TAPS AND SIGHS. His response: "I don't know that there's much info I can provide about 'The Walking Sticks' save that it's around 6,000 words (as I recall) and is a somewhat dark first-person murder mystery with undertones of Poe and Bloch, with maybe an undertone or two reminiscent of King's short work. I hope that sounds sufficiently intriguing to persuade people to rush out and buy the book." Anyone tempted? --Nick Gevers. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
