Strip for Violence : A Collection of Crime Stories of Violence and Motive
Other Available Formats
Overview
A crime anthology bringing together a selection of stories centred on violence, motive, and the pressures that drive individuals toward criminal action. Edited by Ed Lacy, the volume assembles contributions that reflect a range of approaches within mid-twentieth-century crime writing, from direct hardboiled narrative to more psychologically oriented studies of conflict.
The collection emphasizes situation and consequence, with each story presenting a contained exploration of tension, decision, and outcome. The editorial selection maintains a consistent tone, privileging clarity and restraint over excess, and allowing the varied voices to operate within a shared framework of crime and response.
Positioned within the tradition of crime anthologies, Strip for Violence reflects the period's engagement with both external action and internal motivation, offering a cross-section of approaches to the genre. As an editor, Lacy's role shapes the volume through selection and arrangement rather than authorial voice, creating a unified reading experience from diverse material.
