Sergio is joined by novelist, blogger and podcaster Jim Noy to enthuse about the work of writer Jim Thompson, the sui generis maestro of 50s and 60's Noir. We explore some of Thompson's major themes, his often psychopathic protagonists and his horrifying and frequently surreal endings - and look in detail at such classic books as The Killers Inside Me, A Hell of a Woman, The Grifters, After Dark, My Sweet and Pop. 1280 (all of which have been filmed)

Jim Thompson's crime fiction bibliography includes the following novels:

  • Nothing More Than Murder (1949)
  • The Killer Inside Me (1952)
  • Cropper's Cabin (1952)
  • Recoil (1953)
  • The Alcoholics (1953)
  • Savage Night (1953)
  • Bad Boy (1953)
  • The Criminal (1953)
  • The Nothing Man (1954)
  • The Golden Gizmo (1954)
  • Roughneck (1954)
  • A Swell-Looking Babe (1954)
  • A Hell of a Woman (1954)
  • After Dark, My Sweet (1955)
  • The Kill-Off (1957)
  • Wild Town (1957)
  • The Getaway (1958)
  • The Transgressors (1961)
  • The Grifters (1963)
  • Pop. 1280 (1964)

Jim Noy is a maths supremo and a novelist - he made his debut with The Red Death Murders, which was published during the Covid lockdown and is a highly imaginative whodunit set sometime in the past during the plague imagined by Edgar Allan Poe for his classic story, 'The Masque of Red Death.' It is available in print and e-book editions via Amazon:
