Rear Window and Other Stories
Rear Window and Other Stories | Cornell Woolrich
6 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Cornell Woolrich. His name conjures a maelstrom of nerve- shattering suspense spawned by the stark, cynical landscape of urban America in the 1930s and 1940s. This collection spotlights thirteen of his most unforgettable narratives, including REAR WINDOW, which watches Hal Jeffries confined with a broken leg to a tiny apartment that only allows him to survey the daily lives of his neighbors across the courtyard?until he discovers one of them is a cold-blooded murderer and that he?s the next victim. Other thrillers involve a woman trapped with a psychotic stranger obsessed with knifing his victims on the dance floor; a man who finds his bride buried alive; and a housewife seizing her chance to escape a sadistic husband, only to find her dream go terrifyingly wrong. With REAR WINDOW, as in the other stories in this volume, Woolrich proves that, like Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and James M. Cain, he remains one of the all-time masters of the noir genre.

One of my fave Hitchcock movies is Rear Window (1954) so I decided it was high time to read the short story the film is based on. It‘s only 49 pages and the Grace Kelly & Thelma Ritter characters are nowhere to be seen, but it was very suspenseful and had me on the edge of my seat! Well worth the quick read. 5⭐️ #classics #Hitchcock #novella #suspense #thriller #RearWindow 🎞️🍿🎥

It‘s the Small Print that grabbed me. Saw this on Instagram and couldn‘t help myself. Not the most appropriate... Credit to #rkadrey Happy New Year!

This is one of my favourite films (Grace Kelly/James Stewart version obviously) and I keep meaning to read the book.

I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to post the last few prompts for the photo challenges, but hopefully this week will be less hectic and I'll have the time!

Blaire This is one of my favourite movies as well. 7y
