The writing style is a bit stilted and expository, which is characteristic of the era. Many of the stories are what we would now consider cliched--untraceable South American poison, anyone? (But don't forget, these were the originals). And as I said already, there are some shockingly racist/sexist/classist statements which would never pass muster today. All that being said, I still enjoyed visiting the roots of a genre which I take so much pleasure in reading. ( )
