Coffee & Cigarettes: Pulp-Noir-Short Stories

De: Eric Leckey

Narrado por: Bill Nevitt

This is the 2nd book in a series of Pulp Noir.

The rich history of Pulp stories are pure Americana. Written like a script from Film Noir movie, you are to be transported to a time in the 30's, 40's or 50's, where the liquor flowed freely and there was always a Crosley radio playing in some room off in the distance. The stories don't always end on a high note, or even end at all. The magic of a Pulp Noir short story is that the listener is supposed to wonder what comes next. After the last word on the page, the story for the characters moves on long after the final sentence. Unless the character is lying face down in a pool of blood or off to the clink. The listener is to guess as to what happens next and what came before.

Pulp Noir is more about a small slice or life, a moment in time, and usually a dark one. So please enjoy. Pour yourself a nice warm drink, dim the lights...conjure up in your consciousness; Femme Fatales, handguns, seedy bars, bad luck, thieves, scoundrels, a book of matches, a pack of Pall Mall's, low lighting, and definitely everything in glorious black and white.

Just like dimestore detective novels! Wonderful!

Enjoyable and entertaining! A wonderful book that you will keep going back to over and over just to read one short story, here and there, whenever you have a moment. There are police detectives, smalltime crooks, private investigators and more. Just when you figure that you know how a story will end, there will be a twist and the story takes a whole new turn.
The narration was so well done. His voice was very suited to this book.. Definitely, a great listen!

Quite a good collection of pulp-noir..:)

I love the old Humphrey Bogart kind of noir movies and this collection of short stories reminded me of them:)
Some of the stories are better and more surprising than others, one or two are more or less predictable, but all have that feel of the 30s-50s books and movies that we love and think of as the classic pulp-noir fiction.

Narration by Mr Nevitt adds another layer to the stories; he makes the character come to life - some are really brilliantly done:) and all have distinctive voices... It's a very good interpretation of the book.
