NB: A version of this post also appears on Existential Ennui. Crikey: would you believe it’s been over a year since I last posted a Parker Progress Report? Long enough that I expect most of you have probably forgotten what they are. To recap then: since 2010 I’ve been blogging my way […] …and me! This one’s so hot off the presses, the website isn’t even live. This is Noir Magazine, a new magazine for tablets. I downloaded it for my iPad today, the day of its debut. I just got the iPad a few weeks ago. I won it in a drawing of all things, the […] Why is the cover of that bit of bureaucracy posted above? Because that’s the bit of bureaucracy that contains this: The hunter, by Richard Stark, pseud. New York, Pocket Books, 155 p. (Permabook edition, M 4272) © Richard Stark; 15Dec62; A607387 Fifty years ago today, a fresh-faced guy in a Chevy offered a […]
NB: A version of this post also appears on Existential Ennui. Over on Existential Ennui, I’ve recently begun a run of posts on paperbacks; should you be interested, over the coming weeks I’ll be showcasing and reviewing softcovers by the likes of Patricia Highsmith, Richard Matheson, and Elmore Leonard; published by such […]
NB: A Version of this post also appears on Existential Ennui. For the final Westlake Score from the 2012 London Paperback & Pulp Bookfair—although not, it almost (but not quite) goes without saying, and doubtless to the immense regret of all concerned, the final Westlake Score overall—here’s a book which I showcased […]
NB: A version of this post also appears on Existential Ennui. Let’s return to the books I bought at the recent London Paperback & Pulp Bookfair, the majority of which were decidedly Donald E. Westlake-shaped—the above one being a case in point. It’s a US first edition/first printing of The Score, Westlake’s […] 
Here is the cover for the University of Chicago Press’ upcoming reprint of Flashfire to coincide with the film based on it. I like that they kept it simple, and I’m thrilled that they put the original title on the cover. I think I wrote in a previous post or comment that this would […]
NB: A version of this post also appears on Existential Ennui. Last week I posted a Westlake Score—a 1969 Hodder Fawcett/Coronet paperback of Donald “Richard Stark” Westlake’s Parker novel The Sour Lemon Score—which, for me, completed a run of British first editions of the Parkers—i.e. those editions Coronet published in the UK […]
NB: A version of this post also appears on Existential Ennui. Later in the week I’ll have another Westlake Score-and-review for you, this one even more exciting than last week’s (well, to me, anyway).

Introduction Darwyn Cooke does one in-depth interview for each volume in his series of comic book adaptations of Richard Stark’s [pseudonym of Donald Westlake] Parker novels. (Here are the interviews for The Hunter and The Outfit.) For his new one, The Score, he was kind enough to invite The Violent World of Parker to […] |
