Cornell Woolrich published his first novel in 1926, and through-out the next four decades his fiction riveted the reading public with unparalleled mystery, suspense, and horror. America’s most popular pulps — Dime Detective, Black Mask, and Detective Fiction Weekly — published hundreds of his stories. Classic films like Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black and Mississippi Mermaid, Tournier’s Black Alibi, and Siodmak’s Phantom Lady, as well as dozens of other motion pictures, 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 volume — the first in nearly two decades — of previously uncollected suspense fiction by the writer deemed to be the Edgar Allan Poe of the twentieth century, a whole new generation of mystery readers, as well as every one of the countless many who have long read and loved his work, can thrill to the achievement of Cornell Woolrich.“Our poet of the shadows,” as he has been called, Woolrich liveв a life of such deep despair and utter terror that he could do little except spill those fears onto the printed page. Yet he would never rid himself of his dark disquietude Woolrich’s life was, as James Ellroy put it, “a tragic existence that resulted in a superbly sustained fictional output.”Masterfully wrought, these stories of night and fear indelibly translate Woolrich’s personal horror into words.
