Synopsis
Be afraid--be very afraid: the master of suspense is serving up 58 bloodcurdling tales for your delectation. These suspenseful stories all appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and in the words of Hitch himself, they are guaranteed to chill and unnerve. Bill Pronzini contributes The Arrowmont Prison Riddle, Margaret B. Maron has A Very Special Talent, Barry M. Malzberg offers A Home Away from Home, and Patricia Matthews chronicles The Fall of Dr. Scourby. Meet a girl who stalks Jack the Ripper, a clairvoyant writer of newspaper obituaries, a homicidal partygoer in a sanatorium, and a police detective who lives vicariously through the exploits of one of his most notorious suspects: they all populate these frightening pages. Caution: not recommended for late-night reading--except for the very brave, Here are fifty-eight blood-curdling 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 "guaranteed to chill and unnerve". Tales of devious housewives, amateur detectives, thieves, executioners, a dead Indian, a phantom stagecoach, and many more fill these pages. The popularity of terror tales has absolutely sky-rocketed in recent years, and the stories in this volume were selected by the man that helped contribute greatly to that popularity. In the pages of this book are the works of those authors that Alfred Hitchcock himself felt met the high standard of writing and terror levels suitable for his own magazine. Whether terror stories are a new passion or one you've cultivated for years, this volume is a must have. From the man who brought us "The Birds" and "Psycho", here is a book of short stories guaranteed to make your heartbeat race in the dark hours of night -- if you dare pick it up after sundown.
