Woolrichs work continues to fascinate readers all around the world, and this trilogy should become a staple in all noir collections. It contains two full length novels (I Married a Dead Man and Waltz into Darkness) and five short stories, including "Rear Window"-works in which one of the genres consumate "poets of terror" explores all the classic noir themes of loneliness, despair, futility, and occasionally redemption. * Film adaptations of Woolrich works include the Hitchcock classic Rear Window. * Christopher Reeve will star in an upcoming television remake of Rear Window.
