Hellcats, Vixens, & Vicedolls: Women, Crime, and Kink of the Fifties

SEX FOR SALE!

We are the savage sisterhood of 1950s crime. Society tells us to be "good girls", marry as virgins and raise up a mess of kids. We say, "Wise up!" We know the facts of life that you've got to use what you've got to get ahead. Men are after us for one thing only, SEX -- and they must pay for their pleasures. Don't be fooled by our soft words and sweet smiles; with us, the meter is always running. Anyone gets in our way, man, woman, or child, we get rid of them - Permanently!

FATAL FEMMES

Wives, mothers, sweethearts, daughters any of us can and will turn killer in a heartbeat. Among us are dope-crazed addicts, homicidal housewives, vicious blackmailers, bone-crushing Amazons, axe-murderesses, switchblade-wielding gang girls, and many more. These are our stories. The trouble is, no matter how beautiful, cunning and deadly we are, our final destination is a prison cell or death chamber. But we sure look good getting there!

5HELL hath FURY !!!  Nov 15, 2007
By Robert
These femme fatales of the 1950's have their marching orders...to lie, cheat, steal, seduce and manipulate to get what they deserve - which is anything and everything they can get their greedy little mitts on!

These true stories show the reader the darker side of women in the 1950's - where these hard-boiled criminals stalk in the shadows, some first making the appearance of a sweet little kitten, but eventually all let their the claws cut people in their way to ribbons!

A great book for any fan of true crime noir!

5Bad Girls Done Right!  May 16, 2007
By S. Michael Wilson "A Strange Hero to a Select Few"
Bad girls and tough dames have always been a cornerstone of crime drama both in print and on the big screen. While that truth has held fast throughout the years, never were the girls so gritty and dangerous as they were in the fifties, and this book is living proof of that.

This collection of stories ripped right of the scandal rags of the fifties is sure to please any fan of the hardcore sleaze writing that most modern authors can only attempt to emulate. A must read, to say the least.

550 tales of blood and lust  Oct 07, 2007
By Shelby
From the repressed 1950s (playground of the alpha male) come hardboiled tales of desperate and abused women pushed to their breaking point by a series of rough men and unfortunate events. Striking back at society with the only weapon they know (a gun, frying pan, saw, knife or sex), their criminal deeds do not go unpunished. Prison, the death chamber, or the morgue awaits all hellcats, vixens and vice dolls that cut a bloody path through 1950s' crime.

5Sex, Sleaze and Sin!  May 15, 2007
By Riley0091

Gathered from police and detective magazines of the 1950s, this collection of fifty hard-boiled "women gone wrong" tales has more than enough sleaze, violence and sex to give Sergeant Joe Friday a wet dream.

With titles like: Bloody Barbara, She Sawed Off His Head, The Sex Party Racket, and One Thousand Thugs and a Girl, HELLCATS, VIXENS, AND VICE DOLLS will surely entertain and horrify even the most jaded true crime readers.

5Sexy and Brutal  Jan 10, 2008
By Chris
A fast (as in "easy") and furious (as in "will cut your head off with a band saw if she thinks you are cheating on her") collection of 50, 1950s hellcats running wild and taking a bite out of every thing in their path, only to be corralled and caged by a legion of clean-shaven boys in blue. These cases are the very best in vintage crime reporting.
