On this episode, Matthew Louis, founder of Gutter Books and Out of the Gutter Magazine, talks about his new novel, Roots Down to Hell. This modern noir classic—yeah, I said it—is about a blue collar misfit who marries an idealistic college girl…and about everything that goes wrong from there. Matthew Louis’s previous novel, The Wrong Man, has been optioned for film and his work with Out of the Gutter has made room for modern noir and pulp as we know it today—a listen not to be missed as Matthew talks blue collar fiction, gatekeeping, and the perilous roots of noir.
