«Ein Bündel Geschichten für lüsterne Leser» is a collection of sixteen crime stories by Henry Slesar, published by Diogenes Verlag in paperback.
Stories by Henry Slesar with irony and black humour: ordinary people take a false step towards crime and the line between victim and culprit becomes blurred. Alfred Hitchcock writes the foreword and leaves his idea that crimes may not pay, but they entertain.
The edition has 226 pages in German and was published on 1 May 1999. Includes artistic collaboration by Tomi Ungerer.
For those looking for short stories with suspense, irony and black humour and who can read them in German.
Henry Slesar was an American author and playwright. He is famous for his use of irony and twist endings. After reading Slesar's "M Is for the Many" in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock bought it for adaptation and they began many successful collaborations. Slesar wrote hundreds of scripts for television series and soap operas, leading TV Guide to call him "the writer with the largest audience in America."
