Yes--if it ever gets finished: my bibliography. <g> Seriously, if you need

I'll send you one, gleaned from said biblio.

I like Michael B. Gannon's BLOOD, BEDLAM, BULLETS, AND BADGUYS (2004). There's handy introductory material for each subgenre covered, along with ideas for conversational tracks to take.
