The Black Car Business Volume 1

The black car has appeared both conspicuously and inconspicuously throughout the annals of fiction--its presence both mysterious and menacing its appearance enough to pause your heart. Its the sedan just within sight that seems to be mimicking your speed and movements as you walk down the dark deserted street late at night. As the hairs rise on the back of your neck you wonder Who is behind the wheel and what is the drivers intent? Its The Black Car Business and its presence means your life is about to abruptly change. You try to assure yourself theres nothing wrong but your pace quickens nonetheless and soon youre running desperate for that narrow sliver between two buildings to slip through the one too narrow for the black car to pass through. Its that car parked just down the block that sends chills down your spine and keeps you awake throughout the night. Its the sanctuary you race toward when youre being chased only to explode when you turn the key. Its the one that skids off the icy mountain overpass and plunges into the cavernous grotto. Its where Clemenza garrotes Carlo just as hes about to be driven to the airport. Its The Black Car Business. Turn the pages as ten masters of the noir art befuddle and frighten you with their stories. We promise a read youre sure to enjoy. Contributors: Eric Beetner J.
