Thrilled to see Crime Ink: Iconic—the anthology I edited with Salem West—and Every Say a Little Death, edited by Josh Pachter, both featured in Oline Cogdill’s Sun Sentinel best-of column. Grateful to Oline for championing crime fiction, especially short fiction!

Day 28 #NoirvemberChallenge Film Noir you watch over and over again? Been trying not to pick the same flick twice in one year, but I can't count the number of times I've watched Night and the City.

Day 27 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir scene featuring food? I'm going abroad for this one with Razzia Sur la Chnouf. Not just one scene, the whole damn flick. I refer to it as the story of a guy who eats, fucks and does crimes, and really what more could you want out of life?

I loved talking with @rachelhowzell.bsky.social, @almakatsu.bsky.social, and @alexsegura.bsky.social about what happens when writers jump genres. The risks, the surprises, the freedom. If you’re interested in how reinvention fuels craft, check out the article: www.thebigthrill.org/2025/11/cros...

Day 24 #NoirvemberChallenge Best #filmnoir poster, including international prints. "Best" is subjective but here's one of my personal favorites, a Japanese tatekan poster for The Street With No Name. (Thanks to the eagle eye of @keithrainville.bsky.social for this find!)

Which Film Noir actor stole the scene(s) they were in? @ladykdesigns.bsky.social stole my answer with Thelma Ritter and I already used Hope Emerson, so how about Timothy Carey?

Day 21 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Film Noir not made in the USA. I've already listed some of my favorite foreign flicks in other categories (The Bitter Stems, Black Gravel, Pale Flower) so this year I'll go with The Housemaid. It's deeply weird and pervy (complimentary) and you should see it.

Rain in St. Louis: The cold of a fished-out corpse, all is dim, a darkening of the world akin to a final glaucoma across the eye of god. Let's find out what a gun barrel tastes like.
