"I don't remember it. I don't remember even hitting her, though that wasn't the worst of it. I don't remember any of it, only seeing her lying there, afterward.
"So here I am. And here in this locked place I'll be forever. But I'm not lonely, for even though I don't see him, really see him, we talk. And talk and talk."
[Seymour Shubin, Lonely No More]

Seymour Shubin's best-selling first novel - Anyone's My Name - was released in 1953. In the following sixty years, Shubin released fourteen novels and a large number of short stories in magazines such as Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Futures. Lonely No More collects sixteen of Seymour Shubin's best realist and crime stories from his illustrious career, many of which have been unavailable for decades.

Mark SaFranko (Hating Olivia) hails the collection in his introduction, saying that: "While you'll be illuminated by this dazzling and fast-moving collection, most of all you're going to really enjoy reading it. I can't think of any higher compliment that can be paid to a master."

Seymour Shubin's stories have heart (What's Your Name, David Letterman?), tension (Dead To Rights) and many stings in their tails (Girls of Winter, The Music Lovers)... but above all they display Shubin's effortless skill in the short story form.
