BlackNowhere

Black Nowhere by Reece Hirsch

Our pirate ship is sailing. I can’t tell you how all this will end, but I can promise you an adventure. — CaptainMal

When CaptainMal promises users of his dark web site called Kyte an adventure, little does he know exactly how out of control things will get. Initially intended as a way for any free trade to occur beyond the oversight of government regulation, Kyte quickly turns into the go-to place for anonymous online illegal drug selling/buying.

The Short and Long of It by Brandon Daily

It’s a pleasure to welcome Brandon Daily back to the site. Daily burst onto the scene in 2014 with A Murder Country, which won the Silver Medal for Georgia Author of the Year—First Novel. The Valley followed, a powerful look at the dark, often insidious nature of life in the fictitious Appalachian town of Corvin Valley. Today, he’s here in conjunction with his newest release, Darkening, a collection of a dozen short stories and a novella. Not surprisingly, his guest post is an ode to the virtues of the short story.

Shamus Dust

It was an honor to work with Janet Roger on her novel Shamus Dust, which has garnered awards and acclaim, including winning the 2019 Beverly Hills Book Awards for Crime Fiction, and which has drawn comparisons to old-school, hard-boiled detective masters such as Raymond Chandler and Philip Kerr.

Shamus Dust finds expat American private investigator Newman in bleak, postwar London during the winter of 1947, where he is drawn into a Pandora’s box of murder and corruption that runs to the highest levels of the City.

The Valley by Brandon Daily

So much had been undone in both their lives in that moment; they were things that could not be tied up or mended.

Author Brandon Daily burst onto the scene in 2014 with his debut novel A Murder Country, which was met with critical acclaim and won him the Silver Medal for Georgia Author of the Year—First Novel. Any doubts that he would succumb to the dreaded sophomore slump were quickly laid to rest with the release of The Valley.

Interview With Nick Kolakowski

It’s a great pleasure to welcome Nick Kolakowski back to the site. His latest novel, Maxine Unleashes Doomsday, a genre bending dystopian sci-fi/crime/noir story, is out today from Down & Out Books. Nick was gracious enough to take some time to talk a little about what it was like to build Maxine’s world, a place where the United States as we know it has collapsed into divided territories, with varying degrees of civilization and law depending on where one is fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to live.
