Hardboiled Handbook: The Top Five Hardboiled Links at The Publishing Spot

Sacred Games: A NovelThese are gloomy days, between the war, the struggling economy, and our country's attempts to reckon with its place (and responsibilities) in this troubled world. Times like these call for hardboiled prose and hardboiled narrators. 

Last night I had a long talk with a guy who liked private detective novels as much as me. I think these dark, crazy-metaphor-laden, and kinetic writers had the single biggest influence on my style, and I think they can help you write about our gloomy world.

Here are my Top Five Hardboiled Links at The Publishing Spot to help you explore this crazy genre and figure out how it can help you write:

1- The great hardboiled private detective radio and YouTube list.

2- My interview with pulp fiction loving novelist Paul Malmont 

3- My interview with Vikram Chandra about his Indian detective in a hardboiled world.

4- My interview with Charlie Huston about his vampire private detective books.

5- My interview with Christa Faust about her hardboiled wrestling novels.
