Free Noir!

Who doesn't love Free Noir? It's almost as good as free love.  Right now Noiristo Nigel Bird is offering his third collection of short stories, With Love and Squalor free.  As a special pre-publication promo for Pulp Ink 2, he's also offering the original collection, Pulp Ink free.

Death By Killing

Chris Rhatigan, whose excellent site Death by Killing is an essential starting point for anyone interested in good crime fiction, is posting "Five You Can't Miss" recommendations for short stories you might have missed over the course of the year. He kicked off the series with Christopher Grant of A Twist of Noir picks yesterday; today it's NoHo's own Katherine Tomlinson offering up suggestions. Check them out here.

And if you're looking for the perfect package of short crime fiction to give as a Christmas gift, pick up a copy (or two) of the excellent anthology Pulp Ink, which Chris co-edited with writer Nigel Bird. It's got more goodies than a plum pudding has plums. (Are there actually plums in plum pudding?) Anyway, inside you'll find stories by Matthew C. Funk, Richard Godwin, Hilary Davidson, Allan Guthrie, Patti Abbott, Sandra Seamans, Paul D. Brazill and Nigel and Chris as well.
