Michael McDowell must now be regarded as the finest writer of paperback originals in America." - Stephen King "Riveting, terrifying, and just absolutely great. This first-ever republication of Michael McDowell's chilling classic of revenge features a new introduction by Christopher Fowler and cover art by Mike Mignola. Can even the wealth and power of the Stallworth family protect them from Lena's diabolical lust for vengeance? One Sunday, all the Stallworths receive invitations - to their own funerals. On a crusade to crush Lena's evil empire, the judge has sentenced three of her family members to death. Only a few blocks away, amidst the elegant mansions and lily-white reputations of Gramercy Park and Washington Square, lives Judge James Stallworth.
The queen of this unsavory neighborhood is Black Lena Shanks, whose family leads a ring of female criminals - women skilled in the art of cruelty. Welcome to the Black Triangle, New York's decadent district of opium dens, gambling casinos, drunken sailors, gaudy hookers, and back room abortions.
