John Dickson Carr News Groups on the Internet

There are several news groups or forums dedicated to John Dickson Carr and other mystery writers of the 'Golden Age' on the Internet. Most notable are:

  • The Golden Age of Detection
    One of the most popular and interesting News Groups devoted to mystery writers and novels of the so-called Golden Age (but lots more)
  • Fans of John Dickson Carr
    A much more specific forum (including experts such as Douglas Greene, author of the official biography)
  • Golden Age Mysteries
    A good news group that doesn't use the Yahoo or other newsgroups format; nice for a change, although a bit difficult to navigate or figure out what all the buttons are. The content is excellent and well-researched and composed. It is owned by David Young
  • MysteryList.Com Forums
    Hmmm. Hosted by Grobius Shortling. Well, don't let that put you off, even though it looks like GAM. The more postings on it the better.

Of ancillary interest: Classic Mysteries, Ghost Stories, Trick Endings (Twistintale), Early Mysteries, Locked Rooms, and Historical Mysteries.
