1945288076Lawrence E. Spivak Jonathan Press American Mercury Publications 1945. Soft Cover. Very Good binding. Stated 'Jonathan Press Mystery No. J23' on the copyright page. Woolrich was a pulp novelist of the highest order particularly for his prodigious output as well as the amount of his material which was later turned to film. This murder mystery was adapted for the cinema in Jacques Tourneur's The Leopard Man 1943 the story of a serial killer who kills women with a feline claw. To quote from an online piece "the book is a masterly exercise in the orchestration of tension and suspense. Its unusual structure is punctuate with passages of breathtaking menace and dark poetry." Woolrich's work directly inspired one of cinema's earliest depictions of a realistic serial killer a proto-example of the Slasher genre. Originally published in 1943 this is an abridged reprint edition typical for pulp mystery novels. Slight chipping to the bottom corner of the first few leaves and front cover. Toning to the text and covers. Rippling and spots of surface loss to the spine and wear and slight creasing to the covers. http://cineaction.ca/issue71sample.htm~accessed using the Internet Archive; the Dec. 3 2009 capture.

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
