"He writes, as always, the kind of Beat, rhythmic, incantatory prose that knocks on the carved medieval door of poetry and demands entrance, it‘s hypnotic and powerful, it’s Ginsberg meets Hieronymus Bosch, and it’s everything you need right now." - Gareth Spark, author of Snake Farm.

Thirty six stories that cut across crime, noir and horror fiction. Life on the edge. People on the brink. Sykes shines a spotlight on the wrong side of the tracks with deft observation, without flinching and with jet black humour.

A hard hitting rollercoaster of short fiction.

A NOIR MEDLEY.

About the Book

Praise for Noir Medley

Remnant, by Lee Sykes, re imagines the mythos of the New Testament Gospels through the prism of Fallout, recasting a Demon as messiah (as one would in the nuclear blasted, burned up world he conjures). He writes, as always, the kind of Beat, rhythmic, incantatory prose that knocks on the carved medieval door of poetry and demands entrance, it‘s hypnotic and powerful, it’s Ginsberg meets Hieronymus Bosch, and it’s everything you need right now. — Gareth Spark, author of Snake Farm.

A violent and tragically soulful tale of love and redemption. Lee Sykes brings characters to life that bleed more than blood on the pages. British Noir at its finest. — Don Glass

“…a taut tale of betrayal and fecklessness… “ —  Graham Smith, author of Watching The Bodies: a Jack Boulder Thriller

Thirty six stories that cut across crime, noir and horror fiction. Life on the edge. People on the brink. Sykes shines a spotlight on the wrong side of the tracks with deft observation, without flinching and with jet black humour.

A hard hitting rollercoaster of short fiction.

A NOIR MEDLEY.
