Noir Fiction
Popularized during the 1940s and 1950s, a genre of American cinema and stories became to be known as Film Noir and Noir Fiction. Highly suspenseful thrillers, many times dealing with paranoia or psychological pressures, and with the trademark dark/black overtones in terms of color, Noir Fiction, these stories usually the main character is quite typical in every way, incapable of handling the darker side of life and is thrust into a downward spiral instigated by a single mistake.
Cornell Woolrich, James M. Cain, David Goodis, and Jim Thompson were literary leaders with many of their stories becoming the basis for Film Noir classics from Hollywood.
