CORNELL WOOLRICH/ 4 dec 1903 to 25 sept 1968--64 yrs old.

Called the POE of the 20th century. Author Nevins says
"he was intense,feverish and irrational..his plots are full
of nightmares ..they are undisciplined,hysterical,sprawling
& manic, He lived in a doomed shrouded world."

Was the SADDEST MAN ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET. Diabetic,
alcoholic and wracked by self contempt. Gay.

People would try and tell him how much they liked his work
and he would scream at them "YOU .. DON'T MEAN IT".

He wrote hundreds of novels under many different names.He is
thrilling. Start with this book and then with THE BRIDE WORE
BLACK -1940.

This NIGHT & FEAR book contains 14 stories.

My favorites are
THE HEAVY SUGAR...ENDICOTTS GIRL..DET WM BROWN..THE DEAD
ROSE and NEW YORK BLUES.....but really they are ALL GOOD !

PLEASE DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND GET TO KNOW COLLIN !

READ EVERYTHING he wrote. Amazon has a good selection of
his works.

There are several photos of him on the web.(google)Nice look-
ing. Red hair/eyebrows-blue eyes.

A lot of his sadness came from having a domineering mother and
no father in the home.

Do you know he was given a funeral and only 5 people came.

For me, Woolrich is the best of all the Noir writers. Great stuff! Buy it!
Nice book.
Wow. Breathtaking. The master of suspense, the person Steven King read to become Steven King. He drags out suspense from little things, everyday actions. Story is sometimes secondary, and the old pulps had to be tied up in neat packages, so here and there there are finales that make one roll ones eyes. It doesn't matter. I loved it. It was a revelation for me. His darkness and sadness of a person hangs over these stories. Last one, New York Story, is stunning. I loved the story and pitied Mr. Woolrich at the same time for his miserable life.
(First, a correction. There are fourteen stories in this collection, not twenty.)
Cornell Woolrich was America's best suspense author, spinning out for the pulps a string of dark noir tales that pulse with fear, dread, and paranoia. He can put the fear of death into you so that your hands shake as you read the page. But he can also move you to tears with his deep sense of human tragedy and emotional devastation. There never was anyone like him, and if you've never read him -- you have no idea what genius you are missing.
This volume contains a number of gems never before published in book form, so for Woolrich fans, this is a must buy. New readers may wish to begin with the collection "Rear Window," but will still get a great Woolrich experience with this collection.
Here are the contents
1. Cigarette
2. Double Feature
3. The Heavy Sugar
4. Blue is for Bravery
5. You Bet Your Life
6. Death in the Yoshiwara
7. Endicott's Girl
8. Detective William Brown
9. The Case of the Killer-Diller
10. Through a Dead Man's Eye
11. The Fatal Footlights
12. Three Kills for One
13. The Death Rose
14. New York Blues
All the stories are great (the editor is a Woolrich expert and knows what works), but here are some of the stand-outs. "Endicott's Girl," which Woolrich once listed as his personal favorite story, is an emotional wringer about a cop who begins to suspect that his beloved teenage daughter is a murderer. Obsessed cops also populate "Three Kills for One" and "Detective William Brown." The first story is bizarre, disturbing, and edging on the psychotic -- I'm so glad this collection is making it easily available again. "Cigarette" will have you on the edge of your reading chair as a poison cigarette is passed from person to person -- who will finally take the fatal puff? "Double Feature" and "Death in the Yoshiwara" are action packed suspensers.
But the best tale is the last one, "New York Blues." It might have been Woolrich's last story, and it's a fitting end. It's almost abstract, plotless, but filled with pain and fear and a sense of impending doom that is impossible to shake. You will never forget this story.
Editor Francis M. Nevins offers an informative introduction which will bring new readers into Woolrich's life and world (both very depressing places). He also offers epilogues to each story to help place them in Woolrich's canon, and shed light on his work.
NIGHT AND FEAR -- buy it. Get yout friends to buy it. Let's get more Woolrich in print. And watch for his best novel, "Rendezvous in Black," coming back into print in March!
