A New Side of Buk This collection is fiction only, which sets it apart from the other posthumous Bukowski volumes available from City Lights. These short stories first appeared in pulp magazines, and show the beginnings of Bukowski's mastery in the 40's all the way through the 90's. This collection features genre pieces like science fiction and western stories not usually associated with Bukowski.Previously Unpublished Work and IllustrationTwo of these stories are previously unpublished, and some are from Bukowski's very earliest writings, making this a must-have for any of his millions of readers. This volume also features a dozen original illustrations by Bukowski himself.As Well-Read As EverBukowski's prolific career is astonishing, and these previously uncollected works provide a new glimpse into the chaotic universe of the love him or hate him master, with highly accessible genre stories.Pulp DesignThis book is being printed in a smaller size to make it look more like the pulps where these stories originally appeared, along with a pulp-influenced cover design with an R. Crumb image of Bukowski.

Fleeing some unsavory doings in her hometown of Charlotte, Jenna accepts her uncle's gracious invitation to stay with him in small-town Hokes Folly, North Carolina. In exchange, she'll help him out in his antiquarian bookstore. But soon after she arrives, Jenna finds her uncle's body crumpled at the base of the staircase between his apartment and the bookstore. Before the tragedy even sinks in, Jenna learns that she's inherited almost everything her uncle owned: the store and the apartment as well as his not-so-meager savings and the payout from a life-insurance policy…which adds up to more than a million dollars. This is all news to Jenna-bad news, once the police get wind of her windfall. And it's an ill wind indeed, as a second murder cements Jenna's status as the prime suspect in both deaths. Jenna can hit the road again, taking her chances that she can elude trouble along the way, or she can stick it out in Hokes Folly, take over the bookstore, and try to sleuth out her uncle's killer. On the one hand, she's made some wonderful new friends, and she feels she can thrive in the genial small-town environment. On the other hand, trouble knows her address-and so does the killer, who is determined to write the final page of her story.
