Another Winner from Stark House Press

The Evil Days is one of the finest mysteries I've ever read. Fischer's early days as the editor of a socialist newspaper editor provide the subtext in this dark almost forlorn novel of a suburban couple who feel they are lost in drab and thankless lives. Theodore Sturgeon used to talk about writers who "wrote above their talent" and that is certainly the case here. Fischer's
last novel was his masterpiece. I've probably read this five or six times over the years. With pure envy.
I haven't read this one--but after Ed's rave review, it's going to the top of my tbr list. I love these Stark House reissues!
I've read both of these fine novels decades ago. But I continue to buy the great STARK HOUSE editions. I don't reread much but I'm tempted to reread these two.
Gotta get this one! Fischer, Lovisi and love that Maguire cover! Apparently he painted it originally for Signet Books but it wasn't used--until now.
