Howdy!
I'm looking for recs for borderline horror crime/noir/police procedurals like Zahler's novels "The Slanted Gutter", "Mean Business on North Ganson Street" and his last two movies I guess ("Brawl in Cell Block 99" and "Dragged Across Concrete").
I'm not really looking for supernatural stuff, more like big cities where crime is widespread, brutal and casual. Think also Ellroy but maybe more modern. No romanticized hard boiled PIs but mean bastards doing mean stuff to get by in a hellish nightmare of a town.
TIA!
