About this listen

From its launch in 1920 until its demise in 1951, the magazine Black Mask published pulp crime fiction. The first hard-boiled detective stories appeared on its pages. Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner and John D. MacDonald got their start in Black Mask. The urban crime stories that appeared in Black Mask helped to shape American culture. Modern computer games, films, and television are rooted in the fiction popularized by "the seminal and venerated mystery pulp magazine" (Booklist). Never before in audio, these vintage stories are the darkest of the dark, and the best of the best.

Crime fiction fans old and new will delight in rediscovering these taut, character-rich, heart-stopping tales, now on audio for the first time. Includes:

  • “The Maltese Falcon” by Dashiell Hammett; read by Jeff Gurner
  • “Cry Silence” by Frederic Brown; read by Oliver Wyman
  • “Waiting for Rusty” by William Cole; read by Pete Larkin

Great book

The story was awesome but they kept repeating the story every so often and it was unnecessary kind of iterated you. But stories were good you will enjoy them.
