Maiden murders

Image not available

Description
"'Maiden murders' is a collection of the first published short stories (in two cases the first unpublished short stories) by these talented writers and others of equal talent. They are maiden ventures, but as Mr. Carr says "they are iron maidens, full of sharp spikes and death." And each story is introduced by its author, informally, telling how he got it published, what his struggles were...The stories in 'Maiden murders' are good exciting reading--the backgrounds of how the stories came to be are entertaining and instructive. The anthology should delight both the fan and the student of writing"--Dust jacket.
