Author Description Cornell Woolrich is widely regarded as the twentieth century’s finest writer of pure suspense fiction. The author of numerous classic novels and short stories (many of which were turned into classic films) such as Rear Window, The Bride Wore Black, The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, Waltz Into Darkness, and I Married a Dead Man, Woolrich began his career in the 1920s writing mainstream novels that won him comparisons to F. Scott Fitzgerald. The bulk of his best-known work, however, was written in the field of crime fiction, often appearing serialized in pulp magazines or as paperback novels. Because he was prolific, he found it necessary to publish under multiple pseudonyms, including "<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/247321.William_Irish" title="William Irish" rel="nofollow noopener">William Irish</a>" and "<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/27777.George_Hopley" title="George Hopley" rel="nofollow noopener">George Hopley</a>" [...] Woolrich lived a life as dark and emotionally tortured as any of his unfortunate characters and died, alone, in a seedy Manhattan hotel room following the amputation of a gangrenous leg. Upon his death, he left a bequest of one million dollars to Columbia University, to fund a scholarship for young writers.<br /><br />Source: [<a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="http://www.hardcasecrime.com/books_bios.cgi?type=authors">http://www.hardcasecrime.com/books_bi...</a>]
