Literary Noir: A Series of Suspense: Volume One

Literary Noir: A Series of Suspense is a collection of some of the finest short stories and novellas Cornell Woolrich wrote throughout his career. Some of the titles within this collection are well known amongst pulp-fiction and noir fans, while some have not been published in decades. Many of these titles have been made into television shows and feature films throughout the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and were the inspiration for many thrillers in the following years. 

Cornell George Hopley-Woolrich (4 December 1903 – 25 September 1968) is one of America's best crime and noir writers, and sometimes wrote under the pseudonyms William Irish or George Hopley. He invented and mastered the genre of "Pulp-Fiction" and wrote hundreds of short stories, novellas and full length novels. One of his most famous stories is It Had to be Murder which was adapted into the classic Alfred Hitchcock film Rear Window in 1954.
