Description:
“Possibly the finest
mystery writer of the twentieth century.” – The Encyclopedia of Mystery and
Detection.
Cornell Woolrich was a
haunted man who lived a life of reclusive misery, but he was also a uniquely
gifted writer who explored the classic noir themes of loneliness, despair and
futility. His stories are masterpieces of psychological suspense and mystery,
and they have inspired classic movies like Hitchcock's Rear Window and
Truffaut's The Bride wore Black. This collection brings together twelve
of his finest, most powerful and disturbing tales.
