Just started reading a paperback I’ve owned for (probably) 20 years. I’ve seen the Val Lewton movie adaptation (THE LEOPARD MAN), so I’m beyond my typical fear of spoilers. #Books #CornellWoolrich #Mystery #Noir

#CornellWoolrich's haunting tales of childhood lost leaped from Ireland to #Argentina in #CarlosHugoChristensen's Si muero antes de despertar (1952). With similarities of Lang's M (1931), this fairy-tale feels more oppressive; due to the helplessness of a boy's power in an adult world and his understanding of grown-up responsibilities ☞ https://write.underworld.fr/settima/si-muero-antes-de-despertar-1952

Movies young and old, from fright flicks to cracking comedies, from the latest blockbusters to the rarest cult treats.

Earlier on this year on a whim decided to collect all editions of Cornell Woolrich's WALTZ INTO DARKNESS that I can come across.
The good news: I finally got another version.
The bad news: The item that was advertised was the yellow Giallo cover that looks so much better.
Still, the edition was cheap and I will need it anyway so will keep it.

Umberto Lenzi's Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972) is sometimes seen as a very late krimi but it's more of a giallo. It was based on Cornell Woolrich’s novel Rendezvous in Black. It's fairly clued and it ticks the right giallo boxes.
