Hollywood Theater of the Ear
About this listen
Audie Award, Short Stories and Collections, 2010
In the1930s and '40s, Black Mask was the single most important magazine for the modern mystery field. Here, writers such as Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Earl Stanley Gardner reshaped the established view of mystery fiction, creating the "hard-boiled" private eye.
Now this series resurrects from those pages the toughest of tough detectives in sonic dramatizations from the award-winning Hollywood Theater of the Ear.
Stories included in this volume are "Lost and Found" by Hugh B. Cave, "Pigeon Blood" by Paul Cain, "Rough Justice" by Frederick Nebel, "Black" by Paul Cain, "The Missing Mr. Lee" by Hugh B. Cave, "Trouble Chaser" by Paul Cain, "Too Many Have Lived" by Dashiell Hammett, "Taking His Time" by Reuben J. Shay, and "Waiting for Rusty" by William Cole.

Super engaging storytelling and a knack for detail
If it's free it's a complete no-brainer to listen to this. If you're into the hardboiled genre, then this is also for you.

Atmospheric!
An excellent collection of stories, with a nice variety. As soon as you see Grover Gardener in the credits you know the reading will be spot on. Very enjoyable.

Good old America
A lovely production that really brings the old days of American crime stories to life. As there are a number in the volume they can easily be used as relaxing listening between other tasks in life
