From Vintage Pulps to Hitchcock Jump aboard for a
fascinating ride as you flip through the pages of 24 tales of Suspense,
Suspicion, and Shockers, by none other than Charles Boeckman. Writing as
Charles Beckman, Jr., starting in 1945, he whipped out stories that mislead,
conceal, and surprise, with characters so real they jump off the page. His
stories have such raw emotional appeal that some will make you cringe, some
will make you shudder, some will grip you with their suspense, but all will
make you feel. You'll meet gritty characters to love and hate, dames to put on
a pedestal and some you'd like to choke, loyal friends and scoundrels, loveable
dimwits and cunning backstabbers, deadly rattlesnakes, dangerous situations,
and plots that keep you turning the page. In his stories with a musical
background, you'll feel the beat of the music taken from the pages of
Boeckman's own life experiences as a horn man. If you like vintage pulp
detective, crime, and suspense stories, this is the right book for you. If you
like Alfred Hitchcock suspense and surprise endings, this is the right book for
you. If you just plain like to read, this is also the right book for you.
What's not to like about such stories? They are so much fun! Editorial
comments: "We need more stories like yours that have a strong emotional
tone." ~Mike Tilden, legendary editor at Popular Publications UNIQUE
