Woody Haught is a journalist and the author of Pulp Culture: Hardboiled Fiction and the Cold War, Neon Noir: Contemporary American Crime Fiction, and Heartbreak and Vine: The Fate of Hardboiled Writers in Hollywood.

Love your site. I’ve just started blogging about noir fiction and film, but nothing this spectacular. I invite you to check out my blog at http://noirjournal.typepad.com/noir-journal/2009/

Thanks Mike! I will visit your blog soonest. Tony
Thank you Tony,
Visit when you can–next posting in maybe a week or ten days will be about noir films in color. It was inspired by a discussion on the Amazon Film Noir Community. My current posting is called “Little Caesar and the Dark Highways of Noir Fiction” and includes my review of Allan Guthrie’s book HARD MAN.
Look forward to your comments,
Mike L.
