The novel will be released as a standard #paperback as befits a story about a #hardboileddetective in #1950s Los Angeles. Mid-century LA is (IMHO) the heart of #noir and #hardboileddetective film and fiction.

You're not drunk... but Neversleep might be. (Or maybe you both are, I don't judge!)
True to the tropes of the hard-boiled detective genre, my main character has a few vices to keep the virtues in check. #hardboileddetective #mysteryfantasy #booksky
Cozy promotional scene for the novel "Shadows Spill the Darkest Blood" by Phillip Walton: the book rests on a wooden table beside a whiskey glass and bottles, a lit fireplace behind, with bold overlaid text urging "Read and curl up" and "Drink Neversleep."

Neversleep is just a regular guy in a city of corrupt elves, old wizards, illegal monsters and more enemies than is fair for anyone to have. But sometimes, standing up for what's right, can make a guy very unpopular.

Brooding fantasy ranger poised for action, with shoulder-length blond hair and a stern expression, wearing a green cloak and pendant, belt-wrapped tunic, and holding two knives.

Your cue: Random TV scene you think about a lot. Go!

Jeremy Brett’s gentlemanly fighting prowess as Sherlock Holmes is on-the-nose, hilarious & sexy as hell!

I'm experimenting with AI filmmaking with my friend John, but so far the results have been... a bit patchy.
Here's something I made with a couple of the offcuts. #AIheckling #hardboileddetective #AIfilmmaking

Really excited to read Seichō Matsumoto’s Tokyo Express.

I actually lived in #Japan for five years or so, not in #Tokyo, but I did visit many times over the years. Anyway, this looks like a great, light, summer read.

#HardBoiledDetective #MurderMystery #DetectiveNovel #CrimeNovel #Noir
A colourful book cover that features art from a 1937 Japan Government Railways poster, held in front of a bookshelf. It reads: ‘An Irresistible Hitchcockian gem’ Paula Hawkins ‘A classic of post-war Japanese crime fiction’ Financial Times Modern Classics Seichō Matsumoto Tokyo Express The back cover of a book, held in front of a shelf feature a quote from Anne of Green Gables. The book is light blue with a black and white image of author Seichō Matsumoto leaning on his hand and holding a cigarette. Beneath him is a small yellow and orange image that says: JAPAN. The back cover reads: Translated by Jesse Kirkwood ‘Tense, enigmatic, thrillingly weird - glorious’ Kevin Barry In a rocky cove, the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered. The flush in their cheeks suggests cyanide; a lover’s suicide. But for shabby local detective Torigai Jutaro and Kiichi Mihara, a young gun from Tokyo, something is not quite right. Together, they begin to pick at the knot of a meticulously calculated crime involving corruption, scandal and a fatal train journey. ‘Ingeniously plotted’ Guardian ‘A labyrinth of convincing alibis and false leads… its classic status is richly deserved’ Daily Mail ‘An absolute corker of a read - so brilliantly shrouded in mystery that it was impossible to put it down‘ Lisa Hall Cover: detail from Japan Government Railways poster, 1937 by Munetsugu Satomi ©️ P.
