    On this episode, crime writer Vern Smith, editor of the Chinaski award-winning anthology Jacked, talks about his new novel, Scratching the Flint. Already garnering critical acclaim from respected voices in crime circles, Scratching the Flint interrogates the perceived ethics of justice, the elements culpable for the destabilization of North American policing and society, and what it means or doesn’t mean to be responsible for another person’s violent and evil demise.

    Roughneck Dispatch: Matthew Louis

    On this episode, Matthew Louis, founder of Gutter Books and Out of the Gutter Magazine, talks about his new novel, Roots Down to Hell. This modern noir classic—yeah, I said it—is about a blue collar misfit who marries an idealistic college girl…and about everything that goes wrong from there. Matthew Louis’s previous novel, The Wrong Man, has been optioned for film and his work with Out of the Gutter has made room for modern noir and pulp as we know it today—a listen not to be missed as Matthew talks blue collar fiction, gatekeeping, and the perilous roots of noir.
