It had more to do with a cut off date of the late 1970s and that those excluded women wrote the bulk of their short "domestic suspense" crime fiction in the 1980s.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-60164875670017048022013-11-22T12:08:37.880-06:002013-11-22T12:08:37.880-06:00If I remember correctly, Weinman acknowledges the ...If I remember correctly, Weinman acknowledges the omission of Oates in the introduction, saying basically that she wished she could have included her but rights & perms got in the way.Levi Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094919454842047688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-5461031384993676402013-11-22T11:47:45.474-06:002013-11-22T11:47:45.474-06:00There's at least one volume of Millar's st...There's at least one volume of Millar's stories from Crippen & Landru <i>The Couple Next Door</i>. The title story happens to be another of hers that turns up a lot in anthologies. It's interesting to me that missing from the collection is one crucial person: Joyce Carol Oates. But the book is so good and important for the genre I didn't want to criticize it too much.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-51192978974355496682013-11-22T09:44:58.637-06:002013-11-22T09:44:58.637-06:00These authors aren't forgotten by me, either, ...These authors aren't forgotten by me, either, and many of them are my among my favorites.
