Three Sheet By

The daring, long-lost classic by Tiffany Thayer, back in print after nearly 100 years…a novel that is “diabolically clever, daring and revealing. The crude and cruel power which has made Tiffany Thayer’s novels famous was never more apparent than in Three Sheet.” Lewiston Daily Sun

This is the story of Harper “Hek” Knott, a young man in the early 1900s who becomes an actor in a touring theater company, playing one-night stands…. on the stages of small town theaters, and in bedrooms of local women, throughout the mid-west. It becomes a road to ruin.

“Tiffany Thayer can be depended on to never disappoint his public. They expect sex in a Tiffany Thayer novel, and Mr. Thayer, mindful of what he owes to general pruriency, never lets his public down.” The Daily Record

“Hardly has the reading public adjusted itself to the shock of one of his lustily vigorous novels than another one of his is thrust on the market. Three Sheet is more rational, more mentally stimulating, and far dirtier than anything Thayer has yet done. There is a meat and substance beneath his needless obscenities. A vivid and appalling novel. ” Palm Beach Post

Tiffany Thayer (1902-1959) was a colorful and controversial figure. As an author, he was prolific and financially successful, pushing the limits of sexuality in his books, some of which were banned and many of which became movies (and one, long after his death, even became the 1970s TV series The Name of the Game, the most expensive show of its time). His novels, which spanned many genres, were largely reviled by critics but beloved by readers, who made them bestsellers in the 1930s. Outside of novel-writing, he was leading member of the controversial Fortean Society and edited their magazine, which was skeptical of science and promoted conspiracy theories
