One of my favorite genres is mystery. I like a good pulpy, noir mystery classic; a page turner if you will. I used to read them all the time. I still own stacks of old Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen magazines that I can’t seem to part with, but since starting carp(e) I haven’t been able to sink my teeth into a nice bit of pulp in quite sometime. I suppose that’s because carp(e) focuses on indie presses, and I haven’t stumbled on any old mysteries coming out of the indies. But thank goodness for Academy Chicago Publishers! They’re bringing back the Charlie Chan series, complete with incredible pulp art covers, and I’m having the time of my literal life.
First int he series is The House Without a Key

I love classic, mystery noir… Especially those classics with the amazing, drawn and hand coloured covers! That was art! I’ve always loved psychological mysteries, those that have made me think and always kept me guessing. As a kid I loved the RL Stein and Goosebumps series for their horror and gore, but after a couple years of that I moved onto items that challenged me and gave me chills and a couple fearful, sleepless nights… All in fun! Please enter me. Thank you!
Friday’s entry. Thanks!
