Charlie Martz and Other Stories: The Unpublished Stories by Elmore Leonard
4.0
Entertaining compilation of 15 very early Elmore Leonard short stories running the gamut from hard core westerns to equally hard core crime fiction happening in mid-twentieth century Detroit.
As in any short story collection, some stories are stronger than others, but none of them fail either to entertain or display the early talent that would very soon mark Leonard's work as a novelist and short story writer. This one might be a little harder to find than Leonard's better-known work, but I recommend it to his longtime fans - and to those readers who still have the thrill of jumping on the Elmore Leonard bandwagon ahead of them.
