There are two reasons I bought this book. 1. I bought it at my favorite brick and mortar bookstore, Bunch of Grapes(http://bunchofgrapes.com/), because I wanted to contribute in some small way to their beautiful store. 2. Because my friend Marc has been hounding m ...more
First published in 1978, this is a novel that combines a fairly traditional hard-boiled detective story with supernatural horror elements. In brief, I enjoyed the hard-boiled side of the story, the supernatural parts not so much.
The story is set in 1959. New York City P.I. H ...more
An entertaining read, but very heavy on the foreshadowing. Everything that happened, I was able to predict from hints in the first couple chapters. I would not, therefore, recommend this as a mystery, but if you want a noir about doomed people in NY City you may enjoy it.

This is a crime noir hardboiled detective horror novel first published in 1978. This type of book grabs my intention immediately. First, the genre of horror added to a genre I don’t read. Second, it’s written decades ago in the late 70’s. Thirdly, a lot of good reviews.
