SynopsisA gritty and thrilling anthology of 30 new short stories in tribute to pulp noir master, Cornell Woolrich, author of 'Rear Window' that inspired Alfred Hitchock's classic film. Featuring Kim Newman, James Sallis, A.K. Benedict, USA Today-bestseller Samantha Lee Howe, Joe R. Lansdale and many more. This anthology of exclusive new short stories offers tribute to the master of the pulp era - Cornell Woolrich, who stands with Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner and Dashiell Hammett as a legend in the genre. Enter a world of vengeful brides and black widows, where cold-blooded killers watch from every window and every sin shall be paid for, no matter how deep you bury them. See the chilling fate of a young woman, and the darkness in every family, in Joe R. Lansdale's "Missing Sister", the cold, calculating mind of an ambitious wife and her cheating husband in Samantha Lee Howe's "Trophy Wife", a reunion dinner ripped apart by conspiracies and violence in Susi Holliday's "The Invitation", and the tight-knit family of a New York dive bar explode into violence in William Boyle's "New York Blues Redux". Hope that the long, dark night will keep your sins and secrets. FEATURING CHARLES ARDAI BRANDON BARROWS A. K. BENEDICT WILLIAM BOYLE M. W.
