Customer Reviews

There's No Such Thing As Bad Noir

Well, maybe mediocre noir with occasional shafts of lightning. I liked THE GRIFTERS better.

Terrific collection of short stories

This is a must for every Jim Thompson fan. Some of the stories are biographical, which will give the reader more insight into the man. Other stories are just terrific examples of crime noir.This World and Then the Fireworks is included as kind of an unfinished novella, and it is really something. Very twisted, even for Jim Thompson.
