Integral works by James M. Cain, now available as
ebooks
James
M. Cain has been called one of the most important writers of American
crime fiction. As one of the founding father of the hardboiled and noir genres,
Cain’s influential novels inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and readers
around the world.
MysteriousPress.com and Open Road Media are proud to announce
the ebook release of twelve of Cain’s later works.
Similar to Cain’s earlier works, The Postman Always Rings
Twice and Double Indemnity, these later stories are filled with
greed, regret, lust and murder, and his characters are portrayed with the same
complexity and desperation.
About the Books: The Moth is a sweeping tale of
love, loss, and the pursuit of beauty during the Great Depression. The
Magician’s Wife is about a love triangle that turns fatal when a life
insurance policy holds the promise of financial freedom. Past All
Dishonor is the story of a Confederate spy that risks his life to win the
heart of a fallen woman.

Glad to see this. While Vintage has kept POSTMAN, MILDRED PIERCE, and INDEMNITY in print pretty continuously, Cain's other work has languished. In 1973, I saw Cain when he made a personal appearance at a neighborhood library in suburban Maryland where he lived. I got his autograph on one of his old MANHUNT short stories. I now wish I'd brought a tape recorder and kept a record of what he said.
Fred,
I think it's pretty darned cool that you met him.
