"While he was at Mill Point Federal Prison, Fast began writing his most famous work, Spartacus, a novel about an uprising among Roman slaves. Blacklisted by major publishing houses following his release from prison, Fast was forced to publish the novel himself. It was a success, going through seven printings in the first four months of publication. (According to Fast in his memoir, 50,000 copies were printed, of which 48,000 were sold. ) He subsequently established the Blue Heron Press, which allowed him to continue publishing under his own name throughout the period of his blacklisting. Just as the production of the film version of Spartacus (released in 1960) is considered a milestone in the breaking of the Hollywood blacklist, the reissue of Fast's novel by Crown Publishers in 1958 effectively ended his own blacklisting within the American publishing industry.

Under the pen name of E. V. Cunningham, he is also a master of the mystery novel. But it is only in Howard Fast's short fiction that we truly experience the incredible range of his talent, his wit, his humor, and his imagination. This superb collection of 31 short works juxtaposes tales of the fantastic and the bizarre with stories touched by pathos and stirring emotion. In his two longest pieces, The Hunter and The Trap, Fast presents us with visions of hope and death. In such wryly funny stories as The Hoop and The General Zapped an Angel, he brings us satire filled with unexpected twists. Often playful and always multilayered, these are stories that will delight us with their wisdom . . . and entertain us with Fast's unmistakable storytelling genius. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.
