2 Black Lizard Anthologies of Crime Fiction by Ed Gorman (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 1.76Mb
Overview: "The Black Lizard Anthology of Crime Fiction," edited by Ed Gorman, is a decent collection of hard-boiled crime short stories. Published in 1987 and containing 20 stories, it is heavily weighted toward the ten year period prior to its publication. There are also a handful of stories from the 1950s and 60s, but none older than that.
"The Second Black Lizard Anthology of Crime Fiction" – Gorman’s taste runs to hardboiled crime fiction that, like Hitchcock films, reveals the sinister impulse toward subversion and violence in ordinary people. The 39 tales, including Murder Me for Nickels , Peter Rabe’s 1960 novella about jukebox racketeers, are a pleasing mix of new offerings and classics from the pulp magazines of the ’50s and ’60s. Ray Bradbury’s “The Candy Skull” is a chilling lover’s rivalry set against Mexico’s Day of Death celebration. Mickey Spillane’s heartfelt “The Affair with the Dragon Lady,” on aging men trying to preserve their youth, combines emotive and criminal elements wonderfully. The resourceful Gorman succeeds in providing a surfeit of surprises in an overall delightful collection.
