The bulk of his best-known work, however, was written in the field of crime fiction, often appearing serialized in pulp magazines or as paperback novels. The author of numerous classic novels and short stories (many of which were turned into classic films) such as Rear Window, The Bride Wore Black, The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, Waltz Into Darkness, and I Married a Dead Man, Woolrich began his career in the 1920s writing mainstream novels that won him comparisons to F. His imagination begins to burn with all sorts of thoughts of what could be happening to or what has happened to the wife.Cornell Woolrich is widely regarded as the twentieth century’s finest writer of pure suspense fiction. His imagination begins to burn with all sorts of thoughts of what could be happening to or what has happened to the wife. The husband appears to be spending his nights in the living space rather than the bedroom and he sees him there in the dark smoking, as his cigarette's red ash reflects in the dark. One day he notices that the husband is no longer going in to check on the wife and he no longer sees her sitting up in the bed. He never sees her rise except to talk with her husband when he returns from work each day and goes in to check on her, bring her meals, etc. As he watches the apartment across the way he notices that while the husband goes out to work each day the wife appears to be invalided within the bedroom. He has nothing to do as his leg is healing but to recline and watch the happenings going on in the other apartments and in the courtyard. His apartment windows look out upon the inner courtyard of his complex and also looks in to all of the other resident's rear windows. Our protagonist is a journalistic photographer who is laid up in his apartment with a broken leg. And the story which came before the also genius movie. I am speaking, of course, of the one and only Cornell Woolrich. He was an absolute brilliant author whose novels and shorts are simply genius. He has been called 'The Prince of Darkness' & the inventor of the NOIR genre. Rear Window and Other Stories by Cornell Woolrich (4 1/2*) NOIR hardcopy, IN WA
