Four powerful, controversial, highly acclaimed novels set in the Deep South during the 1950s and early 1960s. These bold, provocative stories confront politics, race, crime, and sex head-on, reflecting a turbulent era—and leaving a lasting impression. All four novels are back in print for the first time in over sixty years and collected together for the first time ever in one massive ebook.
SO FAIR, SO EVIL – Paul Connolly
WALK WITH EVIL – Robert Wilder
QUALITY – Cid Ricketts Sumner
PASSION IN THE PINES – John B. Thompson & Jack Woodford
John B. Thompson was one of the most distinctive voices of mid-century paperback fiction, writing candidly about desire, violence, social hypocrisy, and people struggling against the restraints imposed upon them. Often marketed as “sleaze,” his novels were sharper, darker, and more observant than their lurid packaging suggested. This third collection brings together nine complete novels, including two written with bestselling author Jack Woodford.
A bold pulp novel of unchained desire...on a true Fantasy Island. Back in print for the first time in over 60 years.
A bold, sexually charged novel about desire breaking loose from restraint and the dangerous excitement of learning the truth by living it.
They came to the island burdened by rules they barely questioned. What they found there stripped those rules away. A provocative novel of sexual awakening and moral collision, where civilization loosens its grip—and instinct takes over.
Honey is a young, mixed-race woman involved in a tempestuous romance with white boy. Together they discover that passion is color-blind...and dangerous. It's a frank story of love and hate, of generosity and selfishness, of tradition-bound Southerners caught up in a conflict of races, emotions and desires...told across two raw, edgy, novels: Honey and the sequel Love in Louisiana, back in print for the first time in over seventy years and combined into one edition.
