My crime fiction library




This is a collection of detective and crime novels, crime comics and crime anthologies. It is not perfect because there is missing a few classic detective novels and stories, books about famous crime writers and theory of crime fiction, but I hope I will get them too. There are also some classic literatures and monographies of famous painters put on for good measure.

Dark Jazz




Imagine a desperate man walking down the street, his coat filled with rain, with cigarette in his mouth That is what dark noir embodies : perfect soundtracks for film noirs, which you can listen late at night when it's raining, reading your favorite crime novel. Dark jazz is moody, slow tempo jazz but with some furious takes and sweet vocals. Here I will present some of my favorite artists of this great genre.



























Grindcore

 



I particularly like grindcore for it's fast tempo, insane blastbeats, vocals which sounds like hell, and short track duration which compresses much longer music into short glimpse from the underworld. Although critics say that grindcore is simple music that is not true, for it takes heavy knowledge of hardcore/metal music. Here I will post some of my favorites. Happy listening!
