James Sallis: A Companion to the Mystery Fiction by
Nathan Ashman (University of East Anglia) has been
nominated for an Edgar Award in the best Critical/Biographical category. This is no. 13 in the
McFarland Companions to Mystery Fiction series that I edit. Sallis may be best known for the novel
Drive (filmed with Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan), although he is the author of numerous mysteries and
a well-regarded book on Chester Himes, is a poet, and has been active in the science fiction community.
Other companion volumes that have previously been nominated for an Edgar are James Ellroy (by Jim Mancall) and Ian Rankin (by Erin E. MacDonald, also a Macavity Award nominee).
