Woolrich Cornell
Deadline at Dawn
 List Price: Price: $94.50 You Save: $55.50 (37%) DescriptionOne of Cornell Woolrich's most taut thrillers, Deadline at Dawn is a fantastic novel of existential angst, as two characters in a soulless city set out for redemption and a chance at a new life. With a fine introduction by Duane Swierczynski, new cover art by Matt Mahurin, and a gallery of old paperback and hardcover editions.
Phantom Lady
 List Price: Price: $94.50 You Save: $55.50 (37%) DescriptionPhantom Lady is Cornell Woolrich at his best: a "wrong man" thriller compounded with a ticking clock (his execution) as well as shadowy femme fatales. In this new edition, Barry N. Malzberg, who was Woolrich's agent in the 1960s, and one of perhaps only two literary figures still living that knew Woolrich, provides a fascinating account of the man.
Night Has a Thousand Eyes: A Novel
 List Price: Price: $10.17 You Save: $4.78 (32%) DescriptionA new Pegasus Crime edition of the landmark noir novel by "the supreme master of suspense." (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review) In Woolrich's iconic tale, Detective Tom Shawn saves a lovely young woman from a suicide attempt one night, and later hears her story. She is in despair because the death of her wealthy father has been predicted by a confidence man seemingly gifted with the power of clairvoyance; a man whose predictions have unerringly aided her father in his business many times before. Shawn and a squad of detectives investigate this dire prediction and try to avert the millionaire businessman from meeting his ordained end at the stroke of midnight. One of Cornell Woolrich's most influential novels, this classic noir tale of a man struggling with his ability to see the future is arguably the author's best in its depiction of a doomed vision of predestination.
Night and Fear: A Centenary Collection of Stories
 List Price: Price: $8.44 You Save: $9.51 (53%) DescriptionCornell Woolrich published his first novel in 1926, and throughout the next four decades his fiction riveted the reading public with unparalleled mystery, suspense, and horror. America's most popular pulp magazines published hundreds of his stories. Classic films like Hitchcock's Rear Window, Truffaut's The Bride Wore Black, and Tournier's Black Alibi came chillingly to the screen from his work. And novels like Deadline at Dawn, Rendezvous in Black, and Night Has a Thousand Eyes gained him the epithet "father of noir." Now with this new centenary volume of previously uncollected suspense fiction edited by Francis M. Nevins—recipient of the Edgar Allan Poe Award for criticism in the mystery field—a whole new generation of mystery readers, as well as his countless fans who have long loved his work, can thrill to the achievement of Cornell Woolrich, the writer deemed to be the Edgar Allan Poe of the twentieth century.
