Even if you count the mysteries, it's only five or six novels in a seventy year career, but he's published some four hundred short pieces. That's what the vast majority of his books are made up of, either collections or fix-ups of loosely connected stories.

It seems to me that Ray originally wrote SOMETHING WICKED as a screenplay, but couldn't get it made so he turned it into a novel. It was made into a movie quite a few years later, of course, but does anyone else remember reading or hearing about the genesis of the book?
