I have never once cared what a character was wearing outside of maybe the fantasy setting where it matters and if there’s some kind of fancy even going on. Too much description in some places, to little in others. Held a scene that could have been the pre-credits setup for an episode of Criminal Minds but somehow didn’t use any cursing stronger than damn. Also, Dracula caterpillar? No thanks.

Bad girls and tough dames have always been a cornerstone of crime drama both in print and on the big screen. While that truth has held fast throughout the years, never were the girls so gritty and dangerous as they were in the fifties, and this book is living proof of that.

This collection of stories ripped right of the scandal rags of the fifties is sure to please any fan of the hardcore sleaze writing that most modern authors can only attempt to emulate. A must read, to say the least.
