And on the subject of Noir (how synchronistic)

Feb 03, 2011 20:29

I missed this piece on IO9 about How to Save Noir Fiction from Irrelevance. I truly hope that readers feel that Supernatural Noir does the sub-genre justice, as I am a lover of noir movies and fiction.

supernatural noir, noir

I'm sure it will. My copy sits on my TBR pile and I eagerly look forward to reading it. Of course, noir is the ultimate form of escapism - it takes me an hour to remember real life after reading it - so fantasy noir should be a double treat.

Um. What copy? It's not published yet and no galleys even....

You're absolutely right. I DON'T have a copy. Reason for the embarrassing confusion is that my TBR pile is 150 books high and I could have sworn I'd already gotten mine in a recent Amazon purchase (my misguided attempts to read EVERY genre antho in existence are a constant source of amusement for my friends). Just rechecked and it's actually the Darkness antho. Sorry for my brain fade.

LOL --well enjoy Darkness in the meantime :-)

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the rec. I actually never buy movies but rent them on netflix...sounds like a great buy but still...24 discs take up wayyyy too much room.
