I Wake Up Screaming By Steve Fisher, Reviewed for Ellroy Reads

For the latest episode of Ellroy Reads, I take a look at Steve Fisher’s classic novel I Wake Up Screaming. A critical and commercial hit at the time, I Wake Up Screaming was published in two versions and was adapted into film twice. The first adaptation is considered one of the very first film noirs. I discuss Ellroy’s admiration for Fisher’s writing and how releasing the novel in two versions may have loosely inspired some of Ellroy’s recent business decisions as a writer.
