The Horror Expert

Frank Belknap Long (1901 - 1994)

"She'll insert the knife so delicately that the man won't feel any pain at all. Just a warm gratefulness, an intoxicating sort of happiness. Then she'll start twisting the blade back and forth... back and forth until the poor devil has been tormented beyond endurance. He'll either wrap a nylon stocking around her beautiful white throat, or something worse ... something uglier ..." Here is the story of a sadistic woman, and the warped lives of those who loved... and hated her. Fred Ellers, the Pulitzer Prize winning writer who was corrupted by fame... Joe Fenton, who considered crime a fascinating sort of disease, and police work a scientific game... Ruth Porges, who was caught in the most vicious of all triangles... A brand-new tale of New York City's Nightmare Zone, by one of the greatest craftsmen of suspense, Frank Long. (Summary by Back cover of the paperback edition)
