Although Chase wrote a wide range of stand-alone novels along with many series characters that were used for a brief period before they were "retired" and the next series commenced. This resulted in many two or three book series featuring memorable characters such as reporter and detective Mark Fenner, private eye Bricktop Corrigan, insurance investigator Steve Marmas, adventurer Don Micklem, Florida PI Frank Terrell and others.

His novels were generally set in an imaginative American city and the prose and dialogue was somewhat over the top in terms of the colorful slang that was used. Rather than be overly bothered with character development he was more inclined to immerse himself in the plot and ran with it as fast as he possibly could.

It continued to be published under the name of Real Detective Tales and then Real Detective Tales and Mystery Stories until around 1931. From this time the magazine began to reduce the number of fiction stories that it published and replaced them with non-fiction stories. As the magazine continued it became more focused on the non-fiction aspect and the final name change to Real Detective reflected the change in content.

Listed on this page are the pulp magazines that were available under the titles Real Detective Tales, Real Detective Tales and Mystery Stories and Real Detective. With the magazine name providing you with an indication of when it was published.

This was the magazine where the strange and the bizarre was presented in the most entertaining and downright disturbing stories you can imagine. And the audience lapped it up. For more than 30 years the stories were contributed by such notable authors as Robert Bloch, H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, Ray Bradbury and many others.

The Weird Tales name was seen again in the 1970s and 80s when the magazine was revived for another run. Most recently the magazine has been purchased by Nth Dimension Media, Inc., and the science fiction, fantasy and horror stories should continue to be showcased under this famous title.

Even if you aren’t particularly enamoured by the type of stories that are published between the covers of Weird Tales you can’t help but be captured by the unusual and hugely imaginative cover art. Many collectors seek out copies of the older and more elusive issues of the magazine just for the art alone.

As well as writing 47 novels in the Nero Wolfe series Stout also penned 40 Nero Wolfe novellas. Wolfe first appeared in the novel Fer-de-Lance (1934) along with his assistant Archie Goodwin. From then the pair went on to become one of the best known and loved detectives in American popular culture.

The identity of Secret Agent X is part of the mysterious appeal of the secret agent who is a complete enigma to all. He is a man who is unknown yet he can change his appearance and identity to suit his needs.

The Secret Agent X stories can sit comfortably in the crime genre although many of the stories crossed over into the more supernatural and science fiction with a number of futuristic ideas for him to overcome.

Secret Agent X is one of those romantic notions of the classic anti-hero. He works undercover for the government, a fact that is unknown to the police. Consequently they consider him to be an outlaw so as well as battling villains he is also evading the police.

But McCoy believed he was above the pulps and began looking towards Hollywood and the thoughts of writing movie scripts appealed to him. Early attempts to impress failed and he had to be content with producing pulp fiction for several magazines to make ends meet.

Even his novel that would earn him the highest regard, They Shoot Horses Don’t They? did not enjoy huge sales when it was first published. It was only later that the novel was recognised for the subtle and thought provoking themes that were appreciated as a noir classic. He was able to find steady work producing original scripts for the movies with one of his more notable being the script for Errol Flynn’s Gentleman Jim.

One of his later novels was also another notable story – Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye - which was later picked up and turned into a James Cagney movie by Warner Brothers.

McCoy died of a heart attack on December 15, 1955 aged 58.

The character was revived in the 1930s to become a pulp hero and then he was updated as a master spy in the 1950s following the success of the James Bond character.

Nick Carter was the pseudonym under which a huge collection of action adventure thrillers and spy thrillers were written. The books were written for the publisher ACE and the list of authors who wrote them included David Hagberg, Michael Jahn, Jack Canon and Robert E. Vardeman.

Fans of fast paced thrillers that tore from place to place and scene to scene have eaten up the Nick Carter books. In more recent times the Nick Carter books have been written as the Killmaster series.
