Beschreibung
New condition black boards with a blue spine and silver spine lettering contained in a new condition illustrated dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments. "Here are sixty-three spine-tingling tales, introduced by the master of suspense, the late Alfred Hitchcock. These suspenseful stories originally appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and, in the words of the master himself, are "calculated to make your blood run cold." You'll find suave detectives, clever gangsters, bodies in trunks, kidnappings, adulterous affairs, murder, and espionage. You'll meet a happy widower, a homicidal country woman, Russians seeking political asylum, a would-be Greenwich Village stud, the Viet Cong, a teenager out on an unfortunate date, and a very unhappy little boy at summer camp, willing to do anything to go home. Many of the best mystery writers got their start in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and continue to be regular contributors. Among the stories in this collection are the works of Ed McBain ("Sadie When She Died"), Lawrence Block ("Pseudo Identity" and "With a Smile for the Ending"), Jack Ritchie ("The Third Call"; "#8"' "That Russian!"), Edward D. Hoch ("Winter Run"; "Warrior's Farewell"; "A Melee of Diamonds"), Patricia Highsmith ("Variations on a Game"), and Hillary Waugh ("Galton and the Yelling Boys; "Nothing But Human Nature"). BEWARE - this anthology is NOT recommended for late night reading. These masterful tales are guaranteed to unnerve." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. 0.
