Tāpat kā Alfons nebūtu Alfons, ja ik pa brīdim nesaceltu lielu jautrību. Tomēr Trīcvaidziņi ir un paliek stipri vīri.

Gerhards Holcs-Baumerts Alfons Trīcvaidziņš Pirmā grāmata Kāda neveiksminieka stāsti, kurus atstāstījis un ilustrējis Gerhards Holcs-Baumerts Alfons ir, kā mēdz teikt, nelaimes putns. Viņam viss noiet greizi. Viņa papagailis nav iemācāms ne runāt, ne atsaukties uz kādu komandu, toties prot bez jebkādas komandas apgriezt otrādi pusi dzīvokļa. Un kurš vienmēr ir pie visa vainīgs? Protams, Alfons. Turklāt šis uzvārds: Trīcvaidziņš. Pat skolotāji nosmīn, kad lasa šo vārdu klases žurnālā, nemaz nerunājot par klasesbiedriem, kas tādos brīžos nevar novaldīt smieklus. Taču Alfons nenoliedzami ir stipra rakstura cilvēks. Viņš daudz kam tiek pāri un cenšas ņemt paraugu no pieaugušajiem.

If you don't shudder with every twist and sudden thrust of these 16 terror tales… if you are able to turn off your bedside lamp after closing this volume and drift off to a deep, dreamless sleep… if you can drink your morning coffee without thinking there just might be a peculiarly bitter taste to it, or turn your back on your spouse or best friend without feeling a funny itching between your shoulder blades… then that lovable old master of menace, Alfred Hitchcock, apologizes and personally guarantees you your full payment in horror. All you have to do is meet him in the cemetery under the next murderer's moon…

ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S HOW-TO-DO-IT BOOK Including: • How to solve your marital problems       —(poison) • How to dress properly when admitting to first degree murder       —(black tie) • How to take off a few pounds fast       —(a knife) • How to ruin a perfect friendship       —(a homemade bomb) And many, many other helpful hints from such specialists as: EVAN HUNTER, JOHN CORTEZ, RAY BRADBURY, RICHARD STARK, RICHARD MATHESON, HELEN NIELSON, DONALD WESTLAKE, RICHARD DEMING, JACK RITCHIE, JONATHAN CRAIG, C.

Harrowing tales of mayhem, murder versus moonshine acting as counter irritants and prescribed by spine-tingling specialists chosen for you this month by the MASTER OF SUSPENSE

Dear Reader: Travel is broadening, we are told, but travel can be dangerous as well. And half of the stories in this issue have a foreign setting as backdrop for chilling tales of intrigue and murder. London’s airport is the scene for a tense, dramatic encounter in William Bankier’s “The Dream of Hopeless White,” while just across the Irish Sea some unsavory characters try to thwart another man’s dream in “All You Need Is Luck” by Jean Darling. In “A Grave on the Indragiri” by Alvin S. Fick, a private detective’s investigation of a man’s mysterious death leads him first to a Sumatra rubber plantation and finally to a quiet garden in Holland. “Three Weeks in a Spanish Town” prove to be a bit more exotic than Edward D. Hoch’s hero and heroine expected, and a young Kyoto police inspector solves a puzzling crime among the shadows of a Buddhist temple in “Inspector Saito’s Small Satori” by Seiko Legru. And to prove that not all the American criminals have left the country, Stephen Wasylyk, Jerry Jacobson, Ron Goulart, Jack Ritchie, and John Lutz provide stories about some of our domestic villains. Good reading. Alfred Hitchcock
