ED McBAIN/EVAN HUNTER/HUNT COLLINS/RICHARD MARSTEN/CURT CANNON/EZRA HANNON/JOHN ABBOTT:

This is McBain's output, with year of publication, alternate titles (if any), Swedish titles, and the detective of the story. After these follow uncollected short stories published under the McBain pseudonym (nos. 76-86). Next are the novels McBain wrote under the his real name, Evan Hunter (nos. 87-117), followed by the uncollected short stories published under the same name (nos. 118-126).

We saw three novels (nos. 127-129) and a short story (no. 130) under the pseudonym Hunt Collins. As Richard Marsten he published seven novels (nos. 131-137) and four short stories (nos. 138-141). Finally, we have his output under the three pseudonyms Curt Cannon (nos. 142-143), Ezra Hannon (no. 144) and John Abbott (no. 145).

Although I haven't been able to confirm it yet, my guess is that the short stories that share the same name as a novel probably are early versions of those novels.
