NEO-NOIR INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES

Do these repulse or stimulate?

IF YOU ANSWERED REPULSE, THEN EXITNOW AND HAVE A NICE DAY

IF YOU ANSWERED STIMULATE, THEN STAY. I HAVE A REAL TREAT FOR YOU.

SO YOU STAYED!

SICK PUPPY!

(But I’m more a cat person though)SO AM I!

NOW I HAVE YOU IN MY CLUTCHES AND HAVE SET THE SCENE….

I’ve been authoring novels for several years now using images like these to write for the NEO-NOIR genre, then using social media to spread the word.

My work is dark, very dark indeed.

It’s an acquired taste.

Happy endings?

Sure. Why not? Death is pleasing.
