I am THRILLED to announce that I’ve just signed a contract with @unmpress.bsky.social to write a book-length study of DETOUR.

Savage and Neal reunited in the 50s for an episode of the show Gang Busters

Der Krimi spielt im sogenannten Bibelgürtel der USA, dessen Strukturen von @jakehinkson.bsky.social als scheinheilig beschrieben werden. Lt. Andy mehr Sozialdrama denn Krimi und erzählt von Prostitution u Menschenhandel. #PolarVerlag #Buchsky #Booksky #Rezension

I’m super excited to be included in this lineup. Hosted by the Roosevelt University MFA in Creative Writing. Mark your calendars now.

I first learned about Paul Cain from Woody Haut’s HEARTBREAK AND VINE, but I never actually got around to reading him. Thanks for putting this back on my radar!

Hombre means man…Paul Newman is Hombre!

🧵1/2 : Had a blast talking crime fiction with you during last month’s #Noirvember books tribute. The updated list of featured novels—this year’s thirty, plus last year’s—is attached to the second part of this thread. Happy reading!

Podcast alert! I had a blast talking about one of my favorite classic Chicago noirs with Jeremy and Paco at Four Stars.

The New Yorker panning THE WIZARD OF OZ when it first came out is in the Hall of Fame for bad critical takes. Total stinkeroo!

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

Happy 80th birthday to DETOUR, the only good movie ever made, unleashed on the world on November 15th, 1945.

☕️Good morning.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

My 3rd? time seeing SUDDEN FEAR, and it’s moved into the upper echelon of noir for me. It’s top-tier: evil Jack Palance, wicked Gloria Grahame, suffering Joan Crawford. Great direction, cinematography, plot. Might also be the movie over which Crawford had the most creative control. What a flick.

I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things:

2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

Too Many Sharks: A Warning About "Agents" No, seriously

Wrote a thing about agents. If you’re a new writer or are actively querying, hope this helps keep you safe!

Dirtbag Cosplay: An interview with Jake Hinkson about his novel, “You Will Never See Me” - Chicago Review of Books The Heart O’ Chicago hotel hasn’t seen this much action, possibly ever. Not in literature, anyway. The 1950s motel along Lincoln Avenue’s “hotel row” is just one of the many if-you-know-you-know locations highlighted in Chicago author Jake Hinkson’s latest crime novel, You Will Never See Me. Hinkson writes noir, the darkest of crime fiction, for…

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

John Dickerson To Depart CBS News In First Major Talent Exit Under New Paramount Owners John Dickerson, co-anchor of CBS Evening News who has been with the network since 2009, said that he is exiting at the end of this year.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

@thejudyroom.com Just finished reading this absolute treasure. It was delightful knowing details about backstage of the movies, the true facts about her issues with the studio/staff and how Judy always surpass them with her natural talent. How brilliant Judy was (and still she is)!

CHICAGO come have a drink with me!

The famed swordfight on the beach between Errol Flyn and Basil Rathbone in CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935)

It was such a pleasure to write the essay for Criterion's 4K+Blu Ray of CAPTAIN BLOOD, a movie I dearly love. And for friends who love commentaries, note that this has one from Curtiz biographer (and fount of knowledge) Alan K. Rode @thetallcinephile.bsky.social www.criterion.com/films/29013-...

I'll be signing copies of YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME at The Mysterious Bookshop in New York City this Tuesday. If you're around, I hope you WILL come see me because I want to see you, damn it.
