ghost of miles Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) Goodis did most of his publishing for Gold Medal, didn't he? I went on quite a Goodis kick a few years back and read most of his novels, even though his stories didn't vary much... they had a certain bleak, poetic mood that I found addictive. I still haven't read THE BURGLAR or the earliest--and the last--books that he wrote. Edited October 20, 2005 by ghost of miles Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Yes to Cornell Woolrich, too! Lon, you're obviously a man of fine taste... Another work by Mr. Woolrich, AKA William Irish: Quote
jazzbo Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Yes, in both of them it is the tone and the mood. . . the themes don't vary much. . . but man the atmosphere! Quote
Quincy Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 I altered this one for a Grateful Dead cdr cover. Changed "Death" to "Dead." How clever. (There used to be a better scan online but this will do.) Quote
Quincy Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) Since Halloween is right around the corner... ...or go here and click "Flowers & Flesh." Edited October 20, 2005 by Quincy Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Also a Chandler fan... Lon, I actually have this one at home! Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 I also have this one, which was a kind of tie-in for the Dick Powell MURDER, MY SWEET movie in the mid-1940s: Quote
