In the era before he created moody private investigator Matthew Scudder, burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr, sleepless spy Evan Tanner, and the amiable hit man Keller—and years before his first Edgar Award—a young writer named Lawrence Block submitted a story titled "You Can't Lose" to Manhunt magazine. It was published, and the rest is history.
One Night Stands and Lost Weekends is a sterling collection of short crime fiction and suspense novelettes penned between 1958 and 1962 by a budding young master and soon-to-be Grand Master—an essential slice of genre history, and more fun than a high-speed police chase following a bank job gone bad.

ONE NIGHT STANDS
I really enjoyed these hidden gems. A collection of shorts from Block's early career. Some really short, (One Night Stands) followed up by three longer shorts (Weekend Stands). I caught myself remembering old episodes of the original Twilight Zone while reading the One Night Stand stories as many could have been good episodes. Lot of really early material contained here that was originally submitted to magazines when he was putting out what he could to pay rent & eat, getting paid a penny a word. The introduction was special too as Block takes you through his memory lane.
