Welcome to the essence of Cornell Woolrich's unique style. The short story was Woolrich's true domain. Each tale in this collection showcases his knack for blending murder and mood with excruciating suspense. You'll encounter characters on desperate, fear-driven journeys through urban landscapes and dark alleys. “After Dinner Story” immerses us in claustrophobic terror as men trapped in a runaway elevator face a fresh murder. “An Apple A Day,” “Cigarette,” and “The Heavy Sugar” lead us through sinister city streets, following characters desperate to find clues linking them to heinous crimes. “Detective William Brown” details the rise and fall of a brilliant but ruthless detective, whose unchecked ambition results in murder and twisted redemption. In “The Case of the Killer Diller,” suspicion and paranoia grip a jazz singer as she tries to solve her bandmate's murder, with each member having a perfect alibi. “Guillotine” is a masterclass in tension, featuring a condemned man who meticulously plans to save himself by executing his executioner. “All At Once, No Alice” is classic Woolrich, depicting a young newlywed frantically searching for his bride who vanished after a night in a seedy hotel, leaving no trace of her existence. This collection holds some of Cornell Woolrich's finest works. Start reading early; you'll be turning pages well into the night.
