Lawrence Block’s ‘lost’ stories, complete and uncut for the first time since their original publication!
The focus and subject matter of mid-century men’s adventure magazines (MAMs) could be wide-ranging, and versatile storytellers able to confidently navigate genres, approaches, and authorial voices found regular, lucrative work in their pages. Among those talented writers was a notable newcomer: Lawrence Block-though his initial pieces would see print under various pseudonyms.
Not the Lawrence Block you know, who is among the most widely read, respected, and celebrated writers of crime and mystery fiction in the world. A writer internationally read and internationally honored, upon whom The Mystery Writers of America bestowed the title of Grand Master. A writer with over 65 years of professional experience in damn near every kind of writing, whose essays, magazine columns, and non-fiction books focused on the art, craft, and business of writing have endured to inform generations.
Not that Lawrence Block.

The latest release in the acclaimed Men’s Adventure Library series, THE NAKED AND THE DEADLY collects Block’s earliest fiction and non-fiction for men’s adventure magazines (MAMs) in FIVE handsome editions: 1.) A pocket-sized mass-market softcover designed to honor LB’s many successful paperback releases, 2.) an ebook that mirrors the mass-market softcover, 3.) a deluxe illustrated softcover that mirrors most of (but not all) the content in the hardcover, and 4.) a big, beautiful, full-color hardcover that’s packed with bonus content, including additional illustration art, deep background from the editors, and a bonus story by Block! (A fifth edition, a signed and numbered limited edition, is available directly from the publisher while stocks last.)
