| The Trouble With Harry / The Trouble With Trudy | T.V. Boardman
1955
|
1955 p/b is a film tie-in edition, of sorts. Contains the original book plus a sequel. Trudy has never been reprinted... not surprisingly, as it is far from Story at his best | |
| Protection For A Lady | Werner Laurie 1950 | See also Story On Crime | |
| Green to Pagan Street | George G. Harrap & Co. 1952 | First of Story's novels accepted for publication, third actually to get published. "A kindly book for my Mother." A young man hopes to become a writer. | |
| Murder On My Mind | Dragon 1955 | I've never set eyes on this one. Anyone have any details or a spare copy? | |
| The Money Goes Round and Round | Alvin Redman 1958 | Charming comedy about a broke writer who lives in Hampstead. Prophetic. | |
| Mix Me A Person | W.H. Allen 1959 Macmillan, New York, 1960 |

of columns Story's own review of the book >> |
|
| Crying Makes Your Nose Run | David Bruce & Watson 1974 | Could have been another Horace novel, but this time he's called Edgar Wallace. Contains some of Story's most harrowing writing. Very hard to find. Low print run? | |
| Story On Crime | Howard Baker 1975 | Omnibus Edition; Protection For A Lady & Mix Me A Person reprinted together | |
| Morag's Flying Fortress | Hutchinson 1976 | Arrow 1979 | Obliquely told psychological spy thriller. Unique and under-appreciated. (So what else is new?) Common as muck in the second-hand market, thankfully. |
| Up River / The Screwrape Lettuce | Duckworth 1979 (Up River) | Savoy 1980 (The Screwrape Lettuce) | The Screwrape Lettuce was Story's original title. (Or was it "A Voyage To Godalming" ?) A bit on the rude side. |
| Jack On The Box | Savoy 1979 | Autobiography/collection of columns. A Savoy original edition/TV tie-in. | |
| Dwarf Goes to Oxford | Leveret Press 1987 | Autobiography.
