She was fourteen, more child than woman, but this had not mattered to the bum, two years ago, who had grabbed her in the dark, filthy hall of the tenement, pushed her down the cold stone floor and raped her there amid the garbage and ashes. She had fought him, kicking and biting at the greedy, shaking hands that tore at her...fought him until he punched her so hard that she tasted warm blood oozing from where a front tooth had been. From him she got a panting testamonial in the ashy darkness, 'You'll be better'n your old lady in a coupla years, kid-better'n your old lady.'

Was it too late now to save her-from the 'Ebony Deb' gang of delinquent girls; from her family who wanted her to be sent to work; from the teachers who, with their narrow-minded discipline, were more concerned about keeping order in the hall-ways than about a miscarriage in the class-room; from the young men who sought her for their own designs?

Jerry Cotton - Nichts Ist Spannender

ISSUE 2609

EUROPE 2007

Issued in 11 European countries, this detective magazine has been going since the 1940s and from what I have seen of them, they use a photograph from various films for the cover that has nothing to do with the actual story inside and are all non-English language publications. This issue as you can see has "The Warriors" on the cover and that is why it's here, the story isn't JD but the cover is. These are probably more of interest to collectors of movie related books and digests, especially the early issues as the photo covers are pretty cool.

Reefer Boy - Hal Ellson

A SHOCKING NOVEL OF TEEN-AGE DOPE ADDICTS

PEDIGREE BOOKS 

FIRST PRINTING 1955 

LONDON, UK

FIRST PUBLISHED IN THE UK BY NEVILLE SPEARMAN 1955

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE USA AS THE GOLDEN SPIKE

From the reeking slums of a big city, from the twilight world of escape-hungry "junkies", comes this striking and powerful novel of tormented adolescents-neglected by society, victimised by ruthless dope-pedlars.

Published in cheap edition here for the first time its purpose is to focus attention upon a problem which is by no means confined to the big cities of the United States with which the book is concerned. It is now common knowledge that drug addiction is a widespread and rapidly growing evil in this country and the publishers believe that this factual account of its effects upon teenagers can serve as a timely warning and a deterrent.

The material of this book is sensational, but this is not a sensational novel. It is based on fact-the shameful, inescapable fact that society takes no responsibility for these lost and bitter children.

The author Hal Ellson, is a recreational therapist who comes into daily contact with the under-privileged and emotionally disturbed teenagers about whom he writes. More than two years of interviewing and several hundred pages of notes went into the preparation of the background of Reefer Boy. Mr. Ellson is also the author of Duke and Tomboy, whose total sales in America now top 3,000,000 copies.
