Back cover description:
The biggest, the
boldest, the most comprehensive collection of Pulp writing ever assembled.
Weighing in at over a
thousand pages, containing over forty-seven stories and two novels, this book
is big baby, bigger and more powerful than a freight train—a bullet couldn’t
pass through it. Here are the best stories and every major writer who ever appeared
in celebrated Pulps like Black Mask, Dime Detective, Detective Fiction Weekly,
and more. These are the classic tales that created the genre and gave birth to
hard-hitting detectives who smoke criminals like packs of cigarettes; sultry
dames whose looks are as lethal as a dagger to the chest; and gin-soaked
hideouts where conversations are just preludes to murder. This is crime fiction
at its gritty best.
Including:
Three stories by Raymond
Chandler, Cornell Woolrich, Erle Stanley Gardner, and Dashiell Hammett.
Complete novels from
Carroll John Daly, the man who invented the hard-boiled detective, and Fredrick
Nebel, one of the masters of
the form.
A never before published
Dashiell Hammett story.
Every other major pulp
writer of the time, including Paul Cain, Steve Fisher, James M. Cain, Horace
McCoy, and many, many more of whom you’ve probably never heard.
Three deadly
sections–The Crimefighters, The Villains, and Dames–with three unstoppable
introductions by Harlan Coben, Harlan Ellison, and Laura Lippman.
Featuring:
Plenty of reasons for
murder, all of them good.
A kid so smart–he’ll die
of it.
A soft-hearted loan
shark’s legman learning–the hard way–never to buy a strange blonde a hamburger.
The uncanny “Moon Man”
and his mad-money victims.
