Even better is the introduction by Karl Craven, which starts
off:
"Listen. This is a wild one. Maybe the wildest yet. It's got
everything but an abortion and a tornado ..."

You'll have to save it for 1940s month. But let the opening
sentence whet your appetite:
"From the way her buttocks looked under the black silk dress,
I knew she'd be good in bed."
Also, Mike, I'm just finishing Gil Brewer's APPOINTMENT IN
HELL. It's like LORD OF THE FLIES (plane crash on tropical
island) with adults and sex. Stay well away. As Day Keene
said of the British late late television show in the opening
sentence of MURDER ON THE SIDE, it's a stinker.
