snarkout: the stuff that dreams

I'm again cheating and drawing from another blog: snarkout: the stuff that dreams

This is a marvelous essay on the great noir films and their creators, and well worth reading. I've put The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep on my "gotta get this" list.

I spend a lot of my time watching and reading both horror and science fiction, and yet I love mysteries. Whenever I run a role playing scenario of my own making, at its core it's a mystery, often with horror undertones (or overt horror). I guess I'm just intrigued by the dark side of the human soul.
