“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.
