About this product

Product Information

The biggest, the boldest, the most comprehensive collection of Pulp writing ever assembled. Weighing in at over a thousand pages, containing over forty-seven stories and two novels, this book is big baby, bigger and more powerful than a freight train--a bullet couldn't pass through it. Here are the best stories and every major writer who ever appeared in celebrated Pulps like Black Mask , Dime Detective , Detective Fiction Weekly , and more. These are the classic tales that created the genre and gave birth to hard-hitting detectives who smoke criminals like packs of cigarettes; sultry dames whose looks are as lethal as a dagger to the chest; and gin-soaked hideouts where conversations are just preludes to murder. This is crime fiction at its gritty best. Including: * Three stories by Raymond Chandler, Cornell Woolrich, Erle Stanley Gardner, and Dashiell Hammett. * Complete novels from Carroll John Daly, the man who invented the hard-boiled detective, and Fredrick Nebel, one of the masters of the form. * A never before published Dashiell Hammett story. * Every other major pulp writer of the time, including Paul Cain, Steve Fisher, James M. Cain, Horace McCoy, and many many more of whom you've probably never heard. * Three deadly sections-The Crimefighters, The Villains, and Dames-with three unstoppable introductions by Harlan Coben, Harlan Ellison, and Laura Lippman Featuring: * Plenty of reasons for murder, all of them good. * A kid so smart-he'll die of it. * A soft-hearted loan shark's legman learning-the hard way-never to buy a strange blonde a hamburger. * The uncanny "Moon Man" and his mad-money victims.

    I Was a Teen-Age Kooch Dancer in the Hare Krishnas Cult!

    If you like blood-on-the knuckles pulp stories, then this compilation can't be beat! There's more pulp here than a grocery store shelf full of Florida orange juice! As far as I'm concerned, Otto Penzler, the purveyor of this fine volume, is the King of the Compilers, and I can't wait to check out his other tomes!

    The way we were

    It's just what it's intended to be, a rich survey of 20 years of intense, gritty, cynical Americana.

    The Black Lizard Big Book of Pulps (2007)

    Collection of hardboiled short stories and novellas that appeared orignally in old time pulps of the 30s and 40s by some of the best writers of the genre. With knowledgeable comments and introductions by the editors. This thing is the size of a telephone book for a moderate metropolitan area.
