Cornell Woolrich’s Black Alibi is a memorable trip into the heart of darkness. Woolrich transports us to Ciudad Real a dimly-lit South American town terrorized by a string of grisly murders. Police and townsfolk believe the culprit is an escaped jaguar. But is the killer animal or human Is it really a big cat Might it be Kiki Walker a slinky nightclub chanteuse Could it be Kiki’s ambitious press agent Jerry Manning anxious to boost his own notoriety in any way he can Or is it Clo-Clo the town’s sexy gold-digging trollop Woolrich keeps us guessing.<br /> We’re literally kept in the dark about the murderer the next victim and when each act of debauchery will occur. Woolrich takes us on a journey fraught with fear rich in atmosphere laden with agonizing suspense. Those pitch-black streets of Cuidad conceal a terrifying secret.<br /> Black Alibi may be crime fiction’s first slasher story the forerunner of countless films novels and short stories. Woolrich plays on our fears of the dark the unseen and the ever-present dangers that lurk in the shadows of night. He brings us uncomfortably close to each murder; we see the horror through the eyes of each victim.<br /> Woolrich’s blend of noir and nightmare was superbly adapted by legendary producer Val Lewton in 1943’s The Leopard Man directed by genre master Jacques Tourneur. Black Alibi’s puzzling mystery is rivaled only by its feverish tension. Woolrich’s warning is clear: don’t look behind you. Centipede Press. Centipede Press hardcover

That time-honored phrase encapsulates Cornell Woolrich’s The Bride Wore Black. With this novel Woolrich created one of crime fiction’s most memorable femme fatales.<br /> Julie Killeen has just been married to the man of her dreams. She steps out of the church and into a nightmare: before her eyes her new husband is gunned down on the street by unknown assailants for unknown reasons. She recovers from the trauma and meticulously crafts a cold-blooded revenge morphing from blushing bride to icy assassin. One by one she hunts down each of the killers. Disguised as a sexy seductress she plots brilliant irresistible traps for the murderers luring each one to a violent death.<br /> We accompany Julie on her vengeful quest. The road is laden with twists and terror and it ends with a staggering sucker punch to the gut. Woolrich masterfully manipulates fate fear power and paranoia — the building blocks of noir fiction.<br /> The book inspired three films: Franois Truffaut’s faithful adaptation with Jeanne Moreau unforgettable in the title role; and Quentin Tarantino’s two Kill Bill installments.<br /> The Bride Wore Black is Cornell Woolrich’s ode to the corrosive effects of the dark heart. Never has a thirst for vengeance been quenched quite so effectively.<br /> <br /> Centipede Press. Centipede Press hardcover
