Eric Morse was the nom de plume of Norman Mailer. (I would love to learn that all kinds of highly regarded writers knocked out these kinds of books for the fuck of it.

What's the point of a fake name when you aren't famous and both your real and fake names are quite ordinary?

Re: The Freddy Thready
Shit. Okay, there was an 18th-century writer by that name—was he a time traveller?!?!—but over 500 entries and I ain't going thru them all.
