YOUNG HOOD

Out of the slum back alleys and the violent sandlots of Hell's Kitchen came young Joey Case-

an ordinary, decent kid who might have been your neighbor's son one year...suddenly turned vicious mobster, "lady's man," and brutal killer the next.

With unflinching honesty, yet depth and compassion as well, one of the truly big writers about the New York underworld tells his story-as timely and terrifying as tomorrow's headlines-the story of a kid who made murder his chosen career.

THEY WOULD STOP AT NOTHING!

THE WILLOWY BLOND, in a fluffy white skirt stood over him. She was smoking a cigarette through the black mask that covered her face.

"Hello, honey," she said softly. "Do you like me?"

She knelt on one knee. Her hand caressed his cheek, her other hand holding the cigarette.

As the blonde kissed him on the mouth she ground her cigarette into his flesh. He yelled, but she kept up the kissing and the burning.

"Atta girl! Give it to him again!" one of the boys shouted. "Next?"

They were teen-agers - kids. But they were capable of anything. And one of them had been capable, probably, of murder!

way

down...

Seven steps descended from the sidewalk to the cellar club. They led lovely young Kathie Melton out of the innocence of her teens into the guilt and viciousness of a precociously sinful world!

Kathie knew the cellar gang was a little wild. She joined, just the same - chiefly to show Hank Landrum she was tired of his idea of an exciting Saturday night. What she didn't know was that the cellar crowd were fond of vile amusements and up to their neck in the rackets.

The excitement really started when Hank, out of longing for her, tried to pull her from the gang. Its jittery members decided to take care of both Hank and Kathie...

A frank, daring novel of teen-age life in a Bronx slum! Here are intimately revealed the desperate secrets of youth caught in the tails of poverty, seeking escape through vice and violence!

THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST STREET

There are many candidates for the title - and half of them are crammed into a small section of New York City's Upper West Side

It's a section that has seen the dregs of inhumanity - the toughs and the touts, the addicts and the pushers, the brutes and the brutalized - seen them come and go, kill and be killed, without turning a hair

It has seen the gangs - hoodlum gangs, criminal gangs, teen-age delinquent gangs

And now the deadliest, most sinful gang of all

THE QUEENS

The little girls who should play with dolls, and do play with dope, sex and switchblades - the girls who obey no rules but their own warped code of hatred for the world and a seething desire to spit in its face - the girls who long for kicks, search for violence and plot their rumbles...

COVER ART BY McLOUGHLIN

Illicit drug traffic, beautiful and young addicts, underworld characters and race-track touts are amongst the characters Pete Worden finds himself dealing with in the course of his highly disorganized and far from conventional life.

When Pete finds the dead body of Al Calvano, obviously placed as a plant in Pete's apartment, he decides to lay off his more ordinary daily chores of following the horses, and other allied activities, to do a little investigating of the quality of the company he keeps. What he discovers would make anybody lay off for good.

Pete's extremely staunch girl friend stands by through thick and thin, hoping to marry him but receiving little encouragement. Things like that are hard on a girl, but Ellen is resourceful.

DON'T CRY FOR ME, a hard-boiled, rough, tough mystery story, introduces a new writer who shows every sign of being a winner.

KICK WHEN HE'S DOWN!

AIM FOR THE GROIN!

STOMP OR BE STOMPED!

These are the rules for survival in a kid gang. These are the rules that I lived by when I ran with a gang myself, trying to find out what makes a JD tick. And let me tell you these kids aren't playing games. These are junior-grade killers!

I've pulled no punches in THE JUVIES either. I've painted these kids as they really are, in sharp black and white (and very often in blood red). Stark and stinking, and intended to scare the hell out of you.
