The Black Lizard Anthology of Crime Fiction by Ed Gorman (1987)

The Black Lizard Anthology of Crime Fiction
Edited with an Introduction by Edward Gorman
Publisher:  Black Lizard Books
Copyright:  1987

What you are about to read is a tribute to all of the writers who taught a whole generation of crime fiction authors not only the tricks of writing but a few tricks about living as well.  Here gathered together for the first time is a collection of unforgettable stories by the best contemporary writers who have extended and are continuing the tradition.  This anthology is a summit meeting of the finest practitioners in the high art of suspense, a bridge connecting the masters of the past with the masters of today.

The Black Lizard Books are dedicated to the roman noir, the "black novel;" thrillers by masters of the American voice.  Often satirical and maddening, always compelling and fascinating, all of them are powerful performances unlike anything else being published in the United States today.
