Night of the Jabberwock by Frederic Brown

Night of the Jabberwock by Frederic Brown was received direct from the publisher. This is a re-release of a book written in 1950. I have always heard of the "jabberwocky" but have never read much about the famed creature (was it a poem that made the jabberwocky well known)? This book, though it has the jabberwock in the title is not about the famed creature written about by Lewis Carroll. Browns tale takes place over one night and is a fast read whodunnit style murder mystery. The author, of whom this is my first read, wrote many "pulp" fiction type tales back in the day when such writings kept people entertained without having to think to hard about what was being written as we so often get into nowadays. Good solid and quick read.
