The website of the greatest pulp fiction writer who ever lived
One of Hack’s most exciting detective novels. He was sued by the estate of Raymond Chandler because the book is a shameless rip-off of “The Big Sleep” but the suit fell apart in court because both Hack and Chandler’s novels had equally incomprehensible stories.
This was one of Hack’s infrequent attempts at a conventional romantic love story. As usual, he lost interest halfway through so the last 100 pages are just an angry rant against his abusive father.
Hack was contracted to write a teen-focused novelization of the hit TV series The Partridge Family to make a few quick exploitation bucks for the network. Only about a thousand were shipped out before someone noticed that he actually came up with a hardcore piece of smut about the singing clan’s oldest daughter Laurie’s sordid affair with a late middle-aged crooked politician. Considered a collector’s item today, it’s a surprisingly good book except for the forty pages or so where Hack inexplicably moves the story to a swamp in Louisiana so that the illicit lovers can have an anal sex marathon in the politician’s secret BDSM cabin.
Hack’s second novel was also the second to be reissued by John Kane with a new cover by Jonny M. and was also a smash hit. Hack always loathed Rock ‘n Roll music and blamed it for society’s downfall. This is the story of Davida, a good girl who listens to her first Bill Haley and His Comets record and quickly descends into a world of reefer and anal sex.
