DETECTIVE SHORT STORIES, a competitor of SPICY DETECTIVE and its ilk, was published from August 1937  to October 1943.  The title was apparently revived for one final issue in October 1947 by a different publisher, Exclusive Detective Stories, Inc., which kept the same volume and issue numbering.  Regulars to its pages included Hugh Cave (under his own name, not the Justin Case pseudonym which masked his identity in SPICY DETECTIVE), Bruno Fischer (under his Russell Gray pseudonym) and Frederick C. Davis.  Louis L'Amour even contributed one story, "Too Tough to Kill", in the October 1938 issue.
