Nightmare

Russell H. Greenan's second novel was described as eerie and unforgettable when it was advertised in 1970. While it is the only book he set in New York City, it is vintage Greenan: a cross between mystery, crime and pathos. It was also praised for its uncompromising social observation. "...at a time when so many white writers are using the black struggle as a basis for pretentious, ill-conceived, and self-serving fiction, Mr. Greenan's perspective and taste make him a welcome exception."
- SARA BLACKBURN, The Washington Post, 1970
