Six masters of pulp fiction at its most powerful and suspenseful best
-- John MacDonald, James M. Cain, Donald Westlake, Lawrence Block,
Mickey Spillane, and Harrington Whittington -- distinguish this new
anthology compiled by the award-winning editors of its two popular
predecessors, American Pulp and Pure Pulp. Like them, Pulp Masters
culls its tales -- in this case, six classic novelettes and one
complete novel -- from the golden age of magazine fiction in the
first half of the twentieth century. The writers included in this
volume in time emerged as giants in the field of crime fiction, and
the stories in this volume demonstrate why. Their voices fresh, their
talents raw and original, with novelettes like "Ordo," "Stag Party
Kill," "The Embezzler," and "Everybody's Watching Me," Westlake,
Block, Cain, and Spillane both heralded and shaped the crime story as
we know it today. So did "the King of the Paperback Original" --
Harrington Whittington -- represented here by the novel based on his
pulp short story "So Dead, My Love."
