• Estoy agradecido por lo que yo llamo momentos bien aprovechados: Hacer un sándwich de atún con las cosas. Tomarme al menos media hora para comerlo al aire libre. Planchar mis paños de cocina vintage mientras veo viejas películas de cine negro en blanco y negro y bebo un martini con extra de aceitunas: una combinación extraña, pero funciona.

• Sí, para mí ése es uno de los miedos más acuciantes del cine negro y del género del thriller psicológico: el miedo a la conspiración. Es algo que yo también temo: no tener el control de tu propia vida. Creo que es algo con lo que la gente puede identificarse, y esos géneros tienen más éxito cuando derivan el material de miedos genuinos que la gente tiene.

• CEREMONY OF FLIES hits the road like a nitrous-fueled GTO...and then pulls the ultimate stunt of getting better. What starts as a deceptively simple hard-boiled noir story twists on itself and adds layers and grows stranger and before you know it, BAM - it's the end of the world and all you can do is hang on by your fingernails. This really, truly is one of the best novellas I've read in years.

• I wouldn't care to speculate about what it is in Westlake's psyche that makes him so good at writing about Parker, much less what it is that makes me like the Parker novels so much. Suffice it to say that Stark/Westlake is the cleanest of all noir novelists, a styleless stylist who gets to the point with stupendous economy, hustling you down the path of plot so briskly that you have to read his books a second time to appreciate the elegance and sober wit with which they are written.

• We have certain demons who are motivated by the smell of food. They tend to get rather violent whenever they smell it. I personally wouldn’t be caught eating anything because I would end up dead. You might not. But you’d still have to fight them, and since some of them are rather ugly and really, really smelly, it might spoil your appetite. Then again, maybe not. Doesn’t spoil Noir’s. I think it makes him hungrier, especially when he guts them. Sick, but true. (Asmodeus)

• This is what noir is, what it can be when it stops playing nice--blunt force drama stripped down to the bone, then made to dance across the page.

• Como estrella masculina, alto, moreno y guapo, Carey Grant siempre representa la belleza y el atractivo masculinos, ya sea en un screwball de los años 30, en una película de cine negro de los 40 o en una comedia romántica de los 50. Por consiguiente, da la vuelta al género ortodoxo entre el que mira y desea y el que es mirado y, por tanto, deseado. En consecuencia, da la vuelta al género ortodoxo entre el que mira y por eso desea, y el que es mirado y por eso es deseado.

• Azafata del terror, diosa del bondage, Charles Addams de dibujos animados cobra vida, Vampire era el sueño húmedo de todo fanboy de primera generación. Scott Poole nos lleva en un viaje inolvidable a través de los submundos superpuestos de las revistas B&D, el cine negro de Hollywood y los primeros movimientos de liberación política que inspiraron a la actriz Maila Nurmi para desafiar a una cultura de posguerra empeñada en reprimir las opciones, los cuerpos y los deseos de las mujeres. Este libro es una obra maestra subversiva.

• Siempre me gustó el cine negro. Cuando vivía en Vermont dibujaba cosas que parecían de aficionado haciendo "Sin City". Cuando llegué a New York me informaron rápidamente de que sólo hacían a tipos en mallas.

• I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights.

• Every novel presents a slice of life. A noir policier for example presents one slice, one that perhaps addresses social dysfunction or some sort of pathology, while mine present a slice that is more upbeat and affirmative.

• I don't know anybody who doesn't hate being called alt.country. It just sounds like a website. I don't mind being called Americana, I don't mind being called country noir, or independent country is fine, but the words alt.country make me insane.

• I envied women with signature hair-dos, signature perfumes, signature sign-offs. Novelists who tell Vogue Magazine: “I can’t live without my Smythson notebook, Pomegranate Noir cologne by Jo Malone and Frette sheets”. In the grip of madness, materialism begins to look like an admirable belief system.

• Women sometimes really love to look at other beautiful women on the screen. But they don't look at a woman the way a man looks at a woman. They want to be that woman. They like if a woman is beautiful or sexy, especially if she's powerful. They like to see her catch a man, or to be powerful in the world. I think this is why a lot of women love noir films and classic films because they can really identify with these really strong, beautiful women. That's the kind of power that women have lost culturally.

• I always find myself gravitating to the analogy of a maze. Think of film noir and if you picture the story as a maze, you don't want to be hanging above the maze watching the characters make the wrong choices because it's frustrating. You actually want to be in the maze with them, making the turns at their side, that keeps it more exciting...I quite like to be in that maze.
