Let’s hear it for hardboiled noir alt-history subgenre. It’s good, see? And if you know what’s good for ya, you’ll read it, see? So light that cigarette, wrap your trench coat collar up tight around your throat, venture out into a night only a lonely insomniac could love. Bleared eyes, scrambled eggs, coffee in shots and gulps, all that jazz.
