Mostly true accounts and crime stories, with a section devoted to "timeless" (speculative) stories.

  • In the introduction to "A Punishment to Fit the Crimes", the editor indicates that the story is by Richard A. Gordon a.k.a. {{A|Stuart Gordon}} (1947-2009). However, this is in error; it is actually by the mystery writer Richard M. Gordon (1922-1975).
