THE BARRACKS...

that's what the neighbors called the sprawling Old-Law tenement on Manhattan's East Side. Now empty of all but four apartments, it loomed dark and brooding, a magnet for violence while awaiting destruction.

Clem Regan was one of the four occupants of The Barracks. A simple man, Clem never looked for trouble. But trouble came with the teen-aged Elena-and a knife-wielding, vengeful gang. Then Frankie Zitek, an escaped murderer, found The Barracks a perfect hideout from the police.

From then on, the two threads of violence enmeshed Clem with ever-increasing tension, making his life a nightmare of terror.

All the chilling suspense that made Bad Day at Black Rock such a memorable book and movie distinguishes this latest novel by Michael Niall.

JAILBAIT STREET

Running Wild from darkness till dawn-snatching at love in deserted alleys or lonely rooftops-today's tough juvenile punks have turned our city streets into asphalt jungles of terror and lawlessness.

This is the savagely realistic story of teen-age gang-the Sultans-and their mixed-up leader, Silkie Meegan, whose desperate search for manhood drove him into frenzied excesses of violence and vice...

From the vengeance beating with bicycle chains of a rival gang...to the degraded sharing of sweet, virginal Carol with the rest of his gang. And finally to the fateful family feud with his own father over Charlotte-his father's prostitute mistress-who first taught Silkie her own kind of Jailbait Street love, then hired him to dig up new "business" for her.

WHAT ABOUT THE GIRLS?

A great deal has been written about boys who, as members of street gangs, flout the law and make a mockery of civilised rules of behavior. But what about the girls? How large a part is played by them in the spreading sickness called juvenile delinquency?

Unfortunately the girls, who had until recently been satisfied to play a subordinate role in gangdom, are now taking off on their own, stealing, fighting, gouging and killing-all for glory, revenge and kicks.

Here is a comprehensive study of this new development, a case-history account of girls "gone wrong," of teen-agers who resort to prostitution, alcohol and dope-anything that will implement their rebellion and give them status in their own crime-infested, immoral world.

Teen-Age Trouble

All at once, life was much too complicated for young Brad Dixon...

There was his parents' disapproval of his love for virginal Mitzi Gaines...There was the problem of Deedee Sayers, hot-eyed and hot-lipped, who constantly tried to arouse his nascent manhood...and wanton Dale Sayers, Deedee's mother, who thought Brad would be a nice change from the tired businessmen who beat a path to her bed...

Finally, there were the Black Vampires, juvenile delinquents on motorcycles, who repelled Brad even though their dedication to debauchery and wanton destruction appealed to the dark side of his nature.

CAMPUS DOLL

At Clifton College the male students were never frustrated. When a campus cutie teased and ran, there was always Jackie Hayes' "study rooms" to resort to.

There you could do your "homework" in peace. There you could carry on experiments so dear to the hearts of all eager students, with tutors truly dedicated to their work: Sandy, Laura, Rita, Honey and even Jackie-the campus doll herself.

True, this extra-curricular work led to no degree but it did satisfy a need, with girls on your own mental level-coeds who knew as much about English Lit, Advanced Psychology-and Love-as you did.

DESCENT INTO PARADISE

You're Valerie Jordan and you've just had your first puff of a reefer. You're not scared. Why should you be? Nobody can kid you, because you know marijuana is not habit-forming. So what's the big deal if a girl wants a kick?

But there comes a day when a kick is not enough. You're feeling down, like you were underground and you know you've got to have a jolt, a blast-heroin!

The next step? A bigger jolt, a louder blast-to the tune of thirty dollars a day-and that's a lot of bread.

It means picking up men-half a dozen a day-what does it matter? You're in paradise. Until the blast wears off and you've got to face reality again: you're hooked, chained, a teen-age dope addict.
