"If you're a Gil Brewer fan, this is a must-buy!"--George Kelley "My favorite anthologies of the past few years is David Rachels's collection of Gil Brewer's short stories Redheads Die Quickly. It's a collection of 25 crime stories originally published in Manhunt and other Detective magazines of the 50s. Not a dud in the bunch, all of them featuring the classic Gil Brewer themes of sexual lust, booze and dangerous women."-- Kurt Reichenbaugh, The Ringer Files ..".collects the best stories from Gil Brewer's glory decade of the 1950s."--Noirboiled Notes
Synopsis
REDHEADS DIE QUICKLY Gil Brewer, the frantic master of compulsive noir fiction--the man of whom author/editor Ed Gorman once said, "at his best, he hooked you in the first paragraph and never let you go." According to Leonard Cassuto, author of Hard-Boiled Sentimentality: The Secret History of American Crime Stories, "Brewer marinated crime and lust together in the humid Florida heat to produce stories of sexual hunger, obsession, and predation." Presented here are thirty of his best Florida stories, direct from the pages of Manhunt, Pursuit, Detective Tales and other great mystery magazines of the 1950s and 60s. Brewer contributed prolifically to the pulp outlets of the day, turning out everything from hardboiled crime tales to pornographic fantasies. He published over 100 stories and 50 novels from 1951 to 1976 under his own name and at least 13 pseudonyms (including an Ellery Queen novel). Originally published in 2012 by University Press of Florida, this new Stark House edition of Redheads Die Quickly includes five stories left out of the first edition, including the novelette "Meet Me in the Dark." They are, as crime writer Dave Zeltserman referenced them, "hard-boiled gems, with each story wilder than the next.", Originally published in 2012 by University Press of Florida, this new Stark House edition of Redheads Die Quickly includes five stories left out of the first edition.

- c***t (921)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
