HERE COMES A CANDLE
Fredric Brown [1950]

Here Comes a Candle is Fredric Brown at his most unconventional and audacious -- a novel that, in many respects, was far ahead of its time. Psychologically complex, unconventionally told in an array of stylistic variations, it is a tour de force with a savagely ironic ending not to be soon forgotten and offers a grim look at the underside of a sanitized post-World War II America. With a new introduction by Bill Pronzini, a bonus short story, and a rare essay by Brown.
