Overview: Fredric Brown (1906 – 1972)
was an American science fiction and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of 1 to 3 pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a somewhat postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well.
According to his wife, Fredric Brown hated to write. So he did everything he could to avoid it—he'd play his flute, challenge a friend to a game of chess, or tease his Siamese cat. If Brown had trouble working out a certain story, he would hop on a long bus trip and just sit and think and plot for days on end. When Brown finally returned home and sat himself in front of the typewriter, he produced work in a variety of genres: mystery, science fiction, short fantasy, black comedy–and sometimes, all of the above.
Genre: Mystery/Thriller

Far Cry (1951)
Once upon a time, a girl named Jenny Ames was murdered in a lonely house. No one knew where she had come from, or why she had died, or who killed her. Years later a man moved into the same house and discovered that nothing is more seductive than an unsolved murder.

Madball (1953)
MADBALL . . . It was only cheap glass, a fraud, a come-on for the suckers who paid Doc Magus to gaze into its depths and tell them tomorrow would be better. And Doc--a decent man, a smart man--pitied them. Yet tonight, even Doc had to believe the Madball. There as nothing left to lead him to the money--enough money to spring him free of the raucous, sordid world of the pitchmen and the pickled punks, the cotton candy and the kewpie dolls--and the belly dancers who needed him for all-night alibis.
Doc was shrewd, but not quite shrewd enough. Someone else knew about the $42,000--a specialist in death, who was only yards away . . .

The Screaming Mimi (1949)
Bill Sweeney is a down-and-out lush. He is also a top-notch reporter. Aroused by the naked beauty of the Ripper's fourth victim--or near-victim--Sweeney pulls himself together and goes after the killer. As he puts questions and answers together, he finds himself face to face with madness and death. A cult novel The Screaming Mimi (1949), was subsequently filmed in 1958, (an adaptation famous for a shower scene of its heroine warding off the villain with a knife) and again by italian horror director Dario Argento in 1970 as "The Bird WiTh The CrysTal Plumage", a B-movie classic that's remembered for the prototype shower-scene later re-used in Pyscho.

We All Killed Grandma (1952)
In We All Killed Grandma, Rod Britten’s first memory is speaking to the police on the phone, staring at the body of a woman with a bullet in her brain. He is completely unable to answer the police’s questions about who he is, where he is, or how he came to discover the woman — who he soon learns is his own grandmother. The killing is written off as a botched burglary, but Rod is determined to discover the truth, both about his life before the amnesia and his grandmother’s death. His quest entangles him with Robin, his beautiful ex-wife who he may be falling in love with all over again, but also puts him in grave danger: what does he know about the murder that his mind won’t let him remember?

Blue Murder SS
The hero of "Blue Murder," Detective Sergeant Peter Craig, is of the dedicated, honest ilk; but although the stereotype is in farce (no pun intended), there are shadings in Craig's character. And in the tale of the baffling homicide at the Crescent Paint Company and how Craig solves it, there is a generous helping of Fredric Brown's spirited good humor. One suspects his tongue was firmly planted in his cheek throughout the story's composition.
