Black Mask 1

Black Mask was the apotheosis of American crime writing. It was the magazine where the first hardboiled detective story appeared. It was the modest domain in which such literary titans as Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner and John D. MacDonald got their start. Crime fiction fans old and new will delight in rediscovering these taut, character-rich, heart-stopping tales, now on audio for the first time.
