Perhaps we should start off by clearing something up . . . There’s not a damn thing funny about Walter C. Brown’s Laughing Death, not a damn thing. Despite any implications of humor in the title what we have here is a very grim piece of work, a unique and a compelling page-turner. Take a plot and devices from the weird menace genre, format as a police procedural, add an Asian master criminal and finally mix in the tone common to “The Black Mask Boys” and we wind up with Laughing Death. Sounds good to me. First published in 1932.
