Welcome To Noirvember: 10 Noir Novels to Add to Your TBR
Much like Spooktober, Noirvember is the month to spend consuming as much as you can from the Noir genre. Noir is a subgenre of crime fiction and can be considered, but there is so much more that comes with it.
Noir fiction, by definition, has a marked darkness in its themes and subject matter. It features a disturbing mix of sex and violence. There is often a femme fatale and a detective (or a pseudo-detective) trying to solve a murder or disappearance. If you like to read a darker, more sinister crime thriller that doesn’t fall into horror, then Noir is the genre for you.
Convincing You to Read Books by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
If you have Goodreads and follow Maude Garrett, Amanda Tass, or Amanda Guarragi (me), you know Maude chose Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia for Book Chat last year!
This year, I decided to dive into Mexican Gothic, which blew me away and is one of the best books I’ve read this year. And next on the list is Silver Nitrate, which people have been raving about. Silvia Moreno-Garcia crosses genres and gives such depth to her female characters, which is one of the main reasons I enjoyed her writing.
Have you read any books by Silvia Moreno-Garcia? Well, if you haven’t this is why we think you should!
