David Nutt: Dark Debacles and Bewildering Sunlight
April 16th, 2019
Whenever I get out of New Hampshire and visit NYC I try to attend a reading at the KGB Bar. Recently, while attending an event for two writers I was already a fan of, I caught another that blew me away. I hadn't laughed so hard at a reading in years. Hearing David Nutt read was the highlight of the evening for me. I bought his book then and there. David was kind enough to answer some questions about himself and his excellent debut novel, The Great American Suction.

March 25th, 2019
Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to speak with you! Of course, I'm already familiar with your work — I think it was in the deliciously named Pear Noir! that I first remember coming into contact with your words, maybe?

January 15th, 2019
It started as a joke. Someone noticed a food theme in my short stories and asked when the "food noir" collection was coming out.
Read Interview →Interview with Author & YouTuber Justin Little AKA Vernaculis
November 21st, 2018
Creator of the YouTube channel and persona known as Vernaculis, Justin Little brings an acerbic wit and engaging style to storytelling. He has emerged as an original voice of New Journalism for the modern indefinable age. His debut collection of essays, The Misadventures of a Jilted Journalist, is available now from Clash Books.

October 15th, 2018
Photo courtesy of the author If you are a regular reader of this site, you are already aware of my affinity for the writing of Jeff Jackson. His books Mira Corpora and Novi Sad are a one-two punch of punk rock prose.
Read Interview →Birds and Snakes and Bugs, Oh My! An Interview with 'The Blue Kingfisher' author Erica Wright
October 8th, 2018
Much like the protagonist of her Kat Stone mystery series, Erica Wright is a chameleon. One day she’s a poet, the next, a crime fiction writer. And now there’s a non-fiction book about snakes in the works… So maybe it’s safer to say that she’s more of a maverick, embracing multiple genres, refusing to be bound by convention or put in a box, staying true to her own aesthetic all the way through.
Read Interview →Interview with Lit Witch Lisa Marie Basile
September 11th, 2018
About five years ago I got published in an anthology with James Franco. I thought it would really put my name out there, but all it did was make me look cool to other young writers on Facebook. One of those writers was Lisa Marie Basile, who ended up becoming my friend and a colleague who I really admire.
Read Interview →Impractical Joker James S. Murray on Debut Novel: "Awakened"
July 10th, 2018
No, this isn't a prank. James S. Murray—"Murr" of Impractical Jokers fame—has written a novel. If you are unfamiliar with the man and his hijinks, TruTV runs the show pretty much round the clock. It involves a group of life-long friends feeding one another direction as they interact with the unsuspecting public. Basically, it's a hidden camera show of improvisational one-upmanship.
Read Interview →Classic Crime, New York Style: An Interview with Terrence McCauley
June 5th, 2018
There is crime fiction and then there is classic noir crime fiction, of which Terrence McCauley’s newest novel could be a poster child for. The Fairfax Incident hits shelves today, but if you didn’t know it, you might suspect the novel was actually written in the noir heydays of 1930s New Yok City, where the tale is set. I recently had a chance to catch up with New York native McCauley and toss a few questions his way.
