Beneath the Black Palms lurks the other side of living.
Los Angeles-the siren, the beast-is the central antagonist within these eleven masterful, stylistically-diverse short stories.
Nolan Knight maneuvers the City to destroy with open arms, its warm torments ushered for lonesome dreamers, outcasts, squares, con men and have-nots.
A couple on the run fouls-up by taking refuge in a Mid-City roach motel; a gambler scrambles to save his life through a gauntlet of loan sharks; a young gang member's dream of becoming a famous T.
chef are dashed by turf warfare; these sordid tales and more await.
Come for the sunshine, stay for the dread.
No one is spared Beneath the Black Palms , the most unforgettable short story collection in recent years.
Praise for Nolan Knight: Knight's slangy prose is a perfect fit for characters whose dreams die slowly or explosively.
- Publishers Weekly The Neon Lights Are Veins is a dope-fueled gutter-punk odyssey through a gaudy nightmare version of Los Angeles.
With echoes of James Ellroy and Nathanael West, Knight carves out his own bit of L.
crime-writing turf in this impressive debut.
-Richard Lange, author of Rovers , Dead Boys , This Wicked World , Angel Baby , Sweet Nothing and The Smack Nolan Knight is at the forefront of Hard-Ass-Noir.
He's the mad hatter of words and dark moody storytelling.
He's a creative crime-pugilist! -Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana , Donnybrook and The Savage Nolan Knight has written a dark, dirty and entertaining sewer ride through the neon-lit streets of Los Angeles.
Imagine Nathanael West and Darby Crash writing a twenty-first century noir and you've got The Neon Lights Are Veins .
Highly recommended.
-Jim Ruland, author of Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise and Fall of SST Records , Forest of Fortune , My Damage: The Story of a Punk Rock Survivor and Do What You Want: The Story of Bad Religion High action.

A great read.

Lauden, author of Bad Citizen Corporation , Grizzly Season and Hang Time Nolan Knight's The Neon Lights Are Veins is unlike anything I've read before (and that's saying something!).
The novel's story is a fast-paced mystery and caper, dragging the reader through the underbelly of the Los Angeles night, but most impressive is Knight's style: in your face and no-holds-barred.
-Steph Post, author of A Tree Born Crooked , Lightwood , Holding Smoke and Miraculum Hardboiled as all get out-no noir devotee will want to.
-Barry Gifford Nolan Knight is at the forefront of Hard-Ass-Noir.
He's the mad hatter of words and dark moody storytelling.
He's a creative crime-pugilist! -Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana , Donnybrook and The Savage.
