The titles ol’ Orrie did for Chariot Books (and later New Chariot Library when the outfit moved to Los Angeles) tended to be mediocre, manuscripts he probably was unable to sell to Beacon or Midwood…or they were revised versions of other books about hotel managers, nudie pic models, and tough guys.
Libby Sin is about a 22-year-old voluptuous stripper who acts like she loves men on stage, but loathes them off, preferring the sexual interest of women only. This mostly has to do with her two bad experiences with men when she was younger: one a rape and one a broken heart.
But that could change with Harry Gordon, the owner of a club that’s hired her traveling act for a longer stay. He’s a lonely, wealthy man whose wife contracted polio and is bedridden, almost comatose, having had two heart attacks. He is too noble to have turned his wife away to a home or nothingness. This touches Libby, and she thinks she could go straight with him, until the night she gives herself to him and he flips out, calling her a whore, a tramp, everything else for “seducing” a married man and being easy…
Now she knows why she prefers women…one is a new girl that Libby is training to be a stripper and sharing Libby’s motel room, then bed…although the girl is confused about the third sex…
Not one of Hitt’s best, but not his worst either. He does spend some quality prose time getting into the head and motivations of Libby.
One cool aspect of the Chariot Books is that they often included interior photos of models…

Libby Sin by Orrie Hitt (Chariot Books 1962)
Wesley Willis Mumia Abu-Jamal via radboy2008
The incomparable Wesley Willis rips it up at the Elvis Room in Portsmouth, NH. I'm not sure if Mumia, as a Muslim, would agree that he's a "warrior in Jesus' name," but it's the thought that counts. The song boasts a killer "guitar break," too.

"Had! The manifestation of Nuit.
"Had! The manifestation of Nuit.
The unveiling of the company of heaven.
Every man and woman is a star.
Every number is infinite; there is no difference.
Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men!"
