Today Evan Lewis spotlights another newspaper reprint for a Hammett story — “The Creeping Siamese.”
Evan says, “This Op adventure, originally published in the May 1926 Black Mask, was reprinted in the May 31, 1942 El Paso Times.”
Plus the paper includes a blurb on Hammett and his writing methods — he “never rewrites.”
Or so says the newspaper blurbage.
