TALES
FROM THE BACK PAGE
by Steven Rigolosi
Have you ever wondered about the stories behind the advertisements in
your local newspaper—-those ads for fetish parties, transvestite boutiques, discount psychotherapy, wicca conventions,
Gothic/Punk events, and lonelyhearts seeking to re-establish contact with a ship that passed in the night?
Each
book in the TALES FROM THE BACK PAGE series looks closely at an advertisement placed on the “Bulletin Board” of
The Clarion, a community newspaper published on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. In the first volume, WHO GETS THE APARTMENT?,
a con artists dupes four young Manhattanites, renting them a luxury penthouse apartment (which he doesn’t own) for $600
a month. When the four strangers attempt to move into the apartment on the same day, they realize they’ve been had.
Which of them, if any, will get to keep the apartment? Will they band together to bring the swindler to justice, or will they
connive and plot against one another?
In Volume 2, CIRCLE OF ASSASSINS, a group of disgruntled New Yorkers find
themselves manipulated into murder by a criminal mastermind. Hailed as a “masterpiece of suspense” with a shocking
ending, CIRCLE OF ASSASSINS is a dark tale of what happens when average people decide to take justice into their own hands.
In Volume 3, ANDROGYNOUS MURDER HOUSE PARTY,
six longtime friends gather for a holiday weekend at the Long Island estate of independently wealthy snob Robin Anders.
As near-fatal accidents and mishaps mount, Robin is faced with the possibility that one of the six is plotting murder most
foul--and that Robin may be the intended victim. But no deaths occur until the group returns home to Manhattan.
Robin decides to investigate the suspicious circumstances, while the reader is faced with a larger mystery: Are Robin, Lee,
Law, Chris, J, Alex, and Terry male or female, straight or gay?
