I don't like publishers printing stories that they "found" after the writer's death. I've yet to see any postmortem work even marginally as good as the works put out by the writer himself and I suspect a fair bit of this "found" material is whipped up by the publisher after the fact just to make a quick buck. There's always a burst of sales when a well-known writer or artist passes on - I wish people wouldn't be so greedy and just settle for that. My view is that the contract with the publisher dies when the writer dies. When the well is dry, the well is dry.
Reality is not only stranger than we think, it's stranger than we CAN think!
