The only good fiction is genre fiction
I don't know about art, but I know what I like. A gorehound is me.
A couple swell interviews with a couple great writers:
John Skipp--half of the great splatterpunk writing team of Skipp and Spector. Honestly, if you like the gore and the social commentary and the monsters all mixed together with a thrash metal soundtrack, do yourself a favor and track down these guys' books:

James Elroy--lord god king of modern hardboiled noir writers, with a cop voice that brings a tear to my eye:

As a big fan of the hard boiled, noir, & horror genres, I'd like to say thanks for this post. I'd never seen creature corner's website before. It's a good 'un. I'm reading The Cold Six Thousand right now having greatly enjoyed American Tabloid. Any Raymond Chandler fansites you know of? I've only found bio ones like this. But then, I've never perfected the art of boolean searching, so I probably just don't know where to look.
Can't say that I do know of any good Chandler sites, now that you mention it. I'll poke around, and see what I can see. If I find any, I'll post em!
