Perhaps there is a connoisseur of the following pulp books online:

under pseudo names

Ernst, Paul (Paul Frederick Stein, Diabolo , Mystic , K. Ramba , Roel Sperwer, Arend van Horst) book catalog

https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/areas/786327-ernst-paul

are there in these series 1940s/50s :

I suspect that all titles in the series come from the same author: 3 volumes 15/16/17 Dynamite Ned with writers Judson D Philips, E Wiiliams, B Fowler I do not come across any English-language writers. With the Tempo series B Skada ? Lajos ? B. Vittop ?

I gather from a recently published overview of

https://liacs.leidenuniv.nl/~kosterswa/vnster/detec.pdf

that Paul Frederick Stein, was a Dutch writer, 1899-1985. Last dodo probably got the list of pseudos from there. I don't see any books in KB under his own name?

Just add everything under Stein cs?

Sorry Harry, your question is unclear. What exactly do you want to change?

I don't want anything, just have the hope that someone knows something about those series and especially the pseudonyms under which Paul Fredrick Stein wrote.

To formulate the other thing (am I really unclear now ??): some booklets in the series mentioned on the covers are Judson D Philips, E Wiliams, B Fowler, B Skada, Lajos, B. Vittop (just as unknown as that illustrious Paul Frederick Stein) I think all those names are also pseudonyms of one and the same writer.

Ergo just add everything under Stein and expand the aliases of author Ernst, Paul (Paul Frederick Stein, Diabolo, Mysticus, K. Ramba, Roel Sperwer, Arend van Horst)?

If the answer is if you're not sure about something, never mind, that's fine too. But then I will add an NB to the details.

If no other experts show up on the Forum, I will also throw a fish at KB and / or the men behind the Leiden University PDF.

Dear Harry,

Take a look at this site https://www.crime.nl/dossiers/onderzoek/

Yesterday I already searched for half an hour, I just have to find a site with something meaningful on it. I hope the referral will provide an answer. I only have 1 booklet from the series, but they are nice gadgets.

By the Way: This is also an illustrious Jules van Dam ers: A friend of mine had them lying in the basement, say as new under the dust, by the illustrator Johan Prijs of the covers on the title page signed and stamped. Is now in the catalog with beautiful scans. They are now owned by a fanatic detective collector, I could have asked him first.

This aside, Enigma I'm going to investigate!

I don't find Crime.nl, or I'm looking wrong.

With the Nat Pseudonym Archive it is still different:

Citizen name Pseudonym

Eeckhout, Ludo by Lou Merryl

Eeckhout, Ludo van Roel Sperwer

Eeckhout, Ludo van K. Ramba

Eeckhout, Ludo van Mysticus

Eeckhout, Ludo van Ule Larssen

Eeckhout, Ludo van Arent van Horst

Eeckhout, Ludo by Paul Ernst

Eeckhout, Ludo van Diabolo

At the VN Thriller Guide database, it is this:

Ernst, Paul (= Paul Frederick Stein, aka Diabolo, Mysticus, K. Ramba, Roel Sperwer and Arend van Horst) NL ./ (1899–1985)

So the citizen name of all those aliases is either Paul Frederick Stein or Ludo van Eeckhout. The latter is also in the catalog:

Eeckhoudt, Ludo van (Jo Durand, Lou Merryl; Ludo van Eck; Inge Liebkraft)

Strangely enough, Ludo van Eeckhout also occurs as one of the pseudonyms in Voort, Herman van der & gt; & gt; Ludo van Eeckhout

I quit, it makes little sense to tackle something like that.

Dear Harry,

I had just given you that link, to point out that a great many before you have already tried to find out the real name of the person who is hiding behind the name on the book. This site comes to the correct conclusion that many of them will never be clarified. That list also includes a few of the names you are looking for. So you can forget, you will never find it.

There is also a pseudonym list of Dutch crime authors. Prepared by experts in the field. I once looked through it completely, and passed it on where necessary to adjust it. The names you mention are also not on that list.

Then there are contradictions here and there in some definite mentions of who was what what. All of the pseounce belts I've ever applied have been verified from an independent source. Unfortunately, there are not many, because it is often a matter of just copying what someone else has said.

There will probably be errors in the pseudonym entries, but I don't think there is any point in reinventing the wheel, and I'm certainly not in favor of putting everything under a name just because there just happens to wrote most of a particular series.

Enigma, you just beat me. I had already drawn the conclusion.

I do not edit an author's name for review (although I suspect it is an alias), but I do add an NB. Better than nothing.

@Harry:

You could also put suspicions about the identity of a particular writer in the background pages. Of course you have to substantiate that suspicion somewhat.

I can't smell that "many" have already investigated aliases, partly because this particular series did not mention those "writers" on some covers. Where something strikes me (especially in a series) I try to bring out something extra, not the intention or intention to invent the Wheel.

I have no suspicions about the identity of a writer, I can only specifically with this series put down the suspicion that the authors mentioned on the covers, just like the others in those series, may also be an alias, because about the authors nothing else is known. I'm not going to create a background page about that, if a specialist or whichever user or administrator is willing and able to do this, fine.

I hope for some expert reactions.

I have to say that I have little use for reactions "look at this or there or do this and that" however well intended. I prefer a direct, relevant response that will help me as a questioner. My Forum post (by the way neatly substantiated after also searching various external sources) was a question to experts of this kind of pulp series. No criticism that something has been incorrectly included in the catalog, that is not my motivation.

If it is the case that few book lovers participate in the Forum, then I will not use the Forum anymore. Then that is pointless.

The question is now, given the conflicting "citizen names": Who is the citizen name in LD now: Ernst, Paul (Paul Frederick Stein, Diabolo, Mysticus, K. Ramba, Roel Sperwer, Arend van Horst) or should I as user read as all Aliases?

I think it is fine in LD. The reference you mentioned for the pseudonyms is not really clear about that, but when I look up the title "The Steenstra murder case" at the KB, I find there "Mysticus pseud. Van Paul Ernst".

@Harry:

Until recently, little attention was paid to pulp series. Perhaps there are no connoisseurs of the series you mentioned at all. Maybe you are the connoisseur.

An entry in the Background pages with your theory about the actual name of a writer and any sources used may be the key to the solution for later researchers.

There are quite a few pulp series collectors, including me. But it is mostly about the series themselves, and there are few who care about the backgrounds of these series, such as publishers, writers, etc. they don't like to be reminded of. Those kinds of books are worth its weight in gold, and everyone in the collector world knows it.

Connoisseur, now no. I am a book lover, know a bit about old children's books, but I can't compete with any specialist of specific series. That is not necessary . I do know some pulp series collectors, but they move (as far as I know) in their own circles and use LASTDODO only indirectly.

Die Paul Ernst: the only one I meet in KB is a German writer?

In the NAT Pseudo archive, Paul Ernst is not mentioned as a citizen name, but as the pseudonym of Ludo van Eeckhout, that of Eeckhout appears again as the pseudonym used by Multon, Mr. Herman van der Voort (who really existed?) And Ludo van Eeckhout again does not occur with KB as an author.

Anyway nice food to conclude again what a difficult area it is.

Ludo van Eeckhout does not appear at KB as an author.

That is not correct. If you search under 'Ludo van Eck', you will come across him as the pseudonym of Ludo Johannes Maria Van Eeckhout. You can also find Ludo Van Eck in the Dutch Wikipedia. I have no reason to believe that the information in the Wikipedia article is incorrect.

Die Paul Ernst: the only one I meet in KB is a German writer?

If you are talking about Paul Karl Friedrich Ernst (1866-1933), we can rule it out because of his death in 1933. Paul Ernst is a very common name by the way, it could be a different German. And it could certainly also be Ludo Van Eeckhout. He sometimes used a German name, for example Inge Liebkraft.

Ludo van Eck (or Vaneck ), born as Ludo Johannes Maria Van Eeckhout ( 1922 - 1991 ) was a Belgian author. It is not uncommon for Belgian authors to publish almost exclusively in Belgium. cannot be found at the KB.

There are two errors regarding that name in LD. It is in LD as van Eeckhoudt, with an extra d that does not belong there. The pseudonyms are all correct. And no, he should not be used as a pseudonym for van der Voort.
