You have to be patient with this little book as it doesn't offer itself to you like Korpon's other novella BY THE NAILS OF THE WARPRIEST. No, this is a lot more clever and bolder. While it doesn't have the seamless flow of his previous work, this is a lot more ambitious and intellectual. OLD GHOSTS is the deconstruction of the noir trope and I gotta say this is very well done. Once again, Korpon's trademark terrific atmospheres are present and the lead character is beautifully tainted with old friendships and parts of himself he cannot quite say goodbye to. Maybe not as seducing as WARPRIEST, but quite the experiment. I loved it. Challenging the genre's from is I find healthy and quite welcome.
