Orrie Hitt's 1954 pulp classic is back and better than ever in a brand new acid-free trade paperback still sporting its original Walter Popp cover.  From the original: Johnny Reagan quickly learned the slum's depraved rules for survival. At six, he was a petty thief. At twelve, he was a procurer. At twenty-one, he was a respectable, lovable, 18-carat heel who never missed a trick-especially if she promised an evening's cheap thrills. Then rich Mr. Connors befriended Johnny, and Johnny knew there was big money to be made-if he pulled the right strings, told the right lies, and played around with the right women. But Johnny played with Julie . . . Julie who had been brought up in the same slum that had spawned Johnny-and who knew all the cute gutter tricks Johnny thought were his exclusive property . . . plus a few female tricks all her own. A tough and lusty novel that moves with the white-heat of a lightning bolt!

The Circular Staircase, Mary Roberts Rinehart’s classic tale of murder and intrigue in a pre-World War I mansion, is evocative yet strangely modern, a sort of CSI: Downton Abbey, with butlers and maids sprinkled in amongst the bodies and evidence. With elements of romance, white collar crime, class, race, poverty, and privilege, it’s a story told with such a deft hand that it will keep you guessing right to the end, all the while keeping you entertained with the trappings of the gilded age and a hint of the supernatural. Sporting its famous 1952 Mapback jacket with original cover painting by Robert Stanley, this new edition from Blackbird Books is a must for all mystery readers.

RINEHART, MARY ROBERTS

Donald Westlake’s nearly forgotten pulp sleaze classic, Man Hungry, is actually one of his first published novels, a 1959 literary take on the genre, complete with lesbians, prostitutes, a swinging college campus, and a washed-up writer-turned-writing professor who’s been unable to reprise the success of his bestselling first novel. And, oh yeah, a certain salacious young college junior who’s hungry for more than just an education. Apart from its steamy content, Man Hungry is actually a fine novel and a fascinating glimpse into the development of one of our most prolific and talented writers. It’s all there—hints of his dark style, flawed and wanton characters, and the old familiar haunts, including the first appearance of the fictional Monequois College in the equally made-up town of Monequois, New York, which subsequently appears in at least a half dozen Westlake novels under at least four of his pen names. If you’re a Westlake fan, a fan of the genre, or just looking for a great vintage read, this new edition of Man Hungry from Blackbird Books will satisfy your appetite!
