Outback noir, coastal noir, domestic noir, sunshine noir. We love good crime fiction in this country and we’re not short on ways to categorise it. Jock Serong talks to Margaret Hickey and T.R. Napper about Margaret’s ‘rural noir’, Stone Town, and Tim’s ‘hard-boiled cyberpunk noir’, 36 Streets. Together they shine some light into the dark corners of crime fiction’s subgenres to find out what makes noir so wide-ranging and compelling.
