Killer in Drag

San Francisco: Angora Press, No date.
Reprint.

21.5cm x 14cm. 96 pages. Illustrated wrappers.

Early edition of one of prolific filmmaker and pulp novelist Ed Wood, Jr.’s most widely reprinted novels. More crime fiction than outright erotica, it follows Glen Marker, a New York contract killer who works in drag as his alter ego Glenda Satin. The protagonist can be read as a continuation of the figure from Wood’s 1953 directorial debut, ‘Glen or Glenda?’. First published in 1963 as Black Lace Drag and retitled Killer in Drag from 1965; this is the circa 1990 Angora Press edition.

Minor shelf wear. Small marginal closed tear and creasing to fore-edge of page 5/6. Good Condition.
