– Love is love. Friction is friction. – Shane
This collection sticks to what Noir is expected to be and has been, and while that can take away the more exploratory materials that challenge Noir, these stories are good.
They focus on the characters and their circumstances, their need to satisfy themselves at any cost, and the desperate acts of revenge, personal scams, and double crosses.
The characters and their actions are one with the arid landscape in which they exist on the edge of prosperity and fame, and the authors deftly use this setting to frame their stories of greed, love, and betrayal.
