Barney Page is wandering Manhattan from bar to bar in an alcoholic haze. He's even sunk to sleeping in a Bowery flophouse. He used to be one of Broadway's top actors, the toast of the town. But that was before his wife Sheila took an overdose of sleeping medicine and didn't wake up. That was before he strangled his lover, Fern. That was before he found himself on a lower platform on the Grand Central subway, his options run out, his life completely forfeit, on the lam from the police, with only two friends left in the world. But what if he were given a second chance? What if he could live this last year all over again? What if he could change it all for the better...?

TOMMY RED Tommy Dalton's ex-wife is on an honesty kick with their daughter, Alysha. She tells her that her dad kills people. Which, of course, he does. But that's not the kind of information he wants shared with his kids. Particularly now that he's working on a new job. Dominick Farase, ready to testify against the Cirelli family, needs silencing. An ex-cop spots him and lets Gasper Cirelli know where to find him. Not a difficult job for Tommy Red. But the Cirellis get nervous about this one, and decide to remove all evidence of the hit-including Tommy. More hits are called, and some of them get sloppy. A couple of FBI agents get involved. Frank Cirelli, Gasper's son and acting head of the family, has to make some tough decisions. Sacrifices must be made. But as far as Tommy is concerned, the Cirellis make their biggest mistake when they fail in their efforts to take him out. A fatal mistake. Now he's after the family--still trying to keep his daughter out of it, too, of course-because when you threaten Tommy or his family, the only response is retribution.

Ten Minute Stories / Day and Night Stories "The author plunges with boldness, yet with consistent invention, into the realm of the fantastic." -The Outlook Ten Minute Stories, originally published in 1914, and Day and Night Stories, from 1917, offer two superlative story collections of ghost stories, strange nature tales, weird events and dark fantasies from one of the greatest writers of supernatural fiction in the 20th century. These pieces are shorter than Algernon Blackwood usually produced, "little thoughts or episodes which he often scribbled in his notebook high up in the mountains and then typed up later that day, and sold to newspapers back in England," as Mike Ashley points out in his informative introduction. Some of these stories are humorous slices-of-life, matter-of-fact stories borne out from Blackwood's love of human observation. Many of the Day and Night Stories were written during World War I, and are more reflective than his earlier tales. Most have at least a tinge of the mystic to them. A bonus story, "The Farmhouse on the Hill," appears in book form for the first time, an early story that originally appeared in an Australian newspaper in 1907. These are stories that capture the shifting qualities of perception as daylight gradually fades into dusk, and the curtain of dreams is pulled gently across our vision-short stories of day…into night.

Some innocent people were going to be badly hurt. But he had to remember that there was no innocence in this trade, that anyone and everything touched by junk became irretrievably rotten and then had to pay the price. If he began to think of checks and balances, levels of thought, then he was beginning only to think like a cop or a bureaucrat again. That was why the enforcers were only another component of the disease; because they refused to accept responsibility and follow it through.To fight vermin you had to be one.Burt Wulff is beyond forgiveness, beyond vengeance. He is the Lone Wolf.

It is a hot, sticky Philadelphia night. And teenager Johnny Broom is ready to score. He's got his gang's rumble set up with the Violets, the perfect cover for his real plans for the evening-opening up the warehouse his brother guards for Comber's boys to clean out. Johnny's got it all figured. What he doesn't figure is that the creepy kid Mike will show up and start taking over the action. He doesn't figure that officer Vallera will be one step ahead of him, ready to bust the heist. He doesn't figure that John Dexter Stephens, whom everyone knows is the only adult friend the kids have, will be tagging along on the bust. Johnny's got the perfect plan, so why does everything start to go so wrong...
