From 1934 until his death in 1968, Cornell Woolrich wrote dozens of "tales of love and despair" that chill the heart and display his mastery of the genre he all but created. In a title for a story he never wrote, he captured the essence of his tortured world: "First you dream, then you die."
Introducing these 13 tales, Nevins describes the dark world Woolrich so vividly creates. "The dominant reality in his world is the Depression, and Woolrich has no peers when it comes to describing a frightened little guy in a tiny apartment with no money, no job, a hungry wife and children, and anxiety eating him like a cancer. If a Woolrich protagonist is in love, the beloved is likely to vanish in such a way that he not only can't find her but can't convince anyone she ever existed."

Darkness at dawn
Collection of short mystery and suspense tales.
I liked this collection, although the writing is a bit slow at some points. I think that's more an effect of being a modern reader, where writing suspense has developed further than it did here, than a sign of poor writing. The plots are clever, if not consistently brilliant, and most of the stories have a fair amount of action to them.
Recommended if you like pulp-style writing and mystery/crime/suspense short stories.
