I would be interested in what you thought of Fright by Cornell Woolrich. He's another great writer that people don't talk about as much as I think they should.
I enjoyed Fright immensely. I read most of my Woolrich in my youth, but I've also read The Black Curtain in the last decade, and highly recommend it.
I have a perhaps-unfounded suspicion that a lot of people who really dig Woolrich are also a little embarassed by him. Whenever his name does come up in blogland, it's followed by comment about the illogic and coincidence that ruin his books -- but that always sounds to me like the protests of those trying to forget a book that really got under their skin.
