The adaptation of his novel I Wake Up Screaming is regarded as the first of Hollywood's film-noir genre.

Forever Glory
New York: The Macaulay Company. Very Good. c.1936. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket solid copy a little external soiling minor bumping to top edge of rear cover. An early Fisher novel written when he was just beginning to emerge from the pulp-mag jungle and was still focused largely on military-themed stories many of which drew upon his own experiences in the U.S. Navy. He would soon turn almost exclusively to hard-boiled mystery fiction of the Black Mask variety his breakthrough success in that genre coming in 1941 with "I Wake Up Screaming." This book set in San Francisco and Honolulu according to one critic presents a rather fanciful picture of peacetime Navy life at Pearl Harbor; per the blurb its hero a Navy flier "moves swiftly through a maze of human emotion tasting the sweetness of life and draining the dregs." Note that this book is bound in tan cloth unlike several other "first editions" seen -- but it's well-established that this was a regular Macaulay practice and because printings first or subsequent were not usually stated establishing a priority among variant bindings is almost impossible. .

The Big Dream SIGNED
Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company Inc. Very Good in Good dj. 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. good tight copy internally clean but with some irregular faded spots on front cover as a result of once-dampened dust jacket; jacket is mildly edgeworn water-stained at upper spine and upper left-hand corner of front panel although because of the jacket design it's relatively unobtrusive plus there's a triangular chip at the top front hinge affecting both the front panel and top of spine. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep. This hard-boiled veteran writer returns yet again to the Hollywood Novel a genre he mined repeatedly often striking a rich vein of cliche throughout his long career. No one can say he didn't know the territory: in addition to more than a dozen novels under both his own name and early on as "Stephen Gould" he also had numerous screenwriting credits from the 1940s through the 1970s. This one is "an explosive aren't they all novel" about the "pressure cooker of the new Hollywood." With a little sex in it as they say. Signed by Author . Doubleday & Company, Inc. hardcover books

The Night Before Murder A Clue Club Mystery
New York: Hillman-Curl Inc. Good in Fair dj. 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . solid book with not much actual wear BUT: a its one-time owner went absolutely bonkers with his ownership rubber-stamp using it on all endpapers the bottom edge and a couple of other places; and b the dust jacket heavily worn is firmly glued down at the flaps. Early mystery novel by Fisher as he was still clawing his way up out of the pulps his breakthrough novel "I Wake Up Screaming" was just two years in the future about a washed-up actress whose life "had become dull barren and incredibly stupid and who had become obsessed with the idea of death. So she decided to commit a murder!" Great opening line: "If Mrs. Rhea Davis had not been sleepless and miserable it is entirely possible that the idea of committing a murder would never have occurred to her." 1939 was also the year Fisher moved to Paris although he soon returned after a couple of his stories were sold to the movies; he went on to a lucrative career or so as a screenwriter while continuing to crank out novels on occasion often with a Hollywood or showbiz background. .
