A Night for Screaming by Harry Whittington

He had ripped things wide open then, turning on the fat cats whom he had been protecting. ANY WOMAN HE WANTED Mike Ballard works homicide, busted down from lieutenant four years ago for accepting bribes. Caught between their jealous battle, Walker quickly discovers that he was better off when he was on the run-because one way or the other, nobody leaves the farm. It looks like a good place to hide out from Palmer and the local cops, but Walker soon finds himself torn between the scheming arrogance of his new employer, and the unsubtle advances of Cassel's willing wife, Eve. So Walker hops a train and ends up in a small town in Kansas, where he hires on at a huge farm owned by Barton M. Just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but his pursuer, Fred Palmer, has some very effective ways of getting a confession. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.A NIGHT FOR SCREAMING Mitch Walker is on the run. I wanted to do this one, though, because I think it's great. It was a lot of fun, but it takes too much time. This is probably the last slide show I'll be doing.

I also threw in some Australian Phantom Books, some pirated editions, one Scandinavian paperback, and one British paperback. That cover is included in the show because it's such a good one. I also have one book ( Love Cult ) that was published under Whittington's name but which is known to have been written not by Whittington but by William Vaneer. I have two books by Shep Sheppard, but I have no real evidence that Whittington used that name other than the fact that on the title page of one, he's credited as the author. The known unknowns would include various soft porn novels from the period when Whittington was supposedly writing one a month. As Donald Rumsfeld would say, there are 'known knowns' and there are 'known unknowns.' The ones I know I don't have include a couple of the Black Lizard reprints (just never picked them up, for some reason), the novel Golden Stud (published as by 'Lance Horner,' another one I just never picked up it's easily available), several slave/plantation novels published in hardback only in England, the novel published as by 'Howard Winslow' (never seen a copy), and the two novels as by Henry (or Henri) Whitter (never seen copies, but have seen a photo of one). There are 152 images in this slide show, for example.

One of my particular enthusiasms in the paperback field has been the novels of Harry Whittington.
