Goodis's DARK ROAD.

It would appear that DARK PASSAGE was originally to be called DARK ROAD.  Delmer Daves and David Goodis must have gone with DARK PASSAGE as it had been in the Saturday. Evening Post. and. published. as a book by. Julian Messner in 1946.

Due to COVID-19, NoirCon 2020 is canceled.

Dear NoirCon family,

Due to COVID-19, NoirCon 2020 is canceled. 

While I hope that conditions will be better by this fall, at this point there is no certainty about anything, and I feel that it would be irresponsible to prolong cancellation any longer.

NoirCon is nothing without the love, contributions, and support of you, its dedicated family. 

Noircon will perservere.  

I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy, and I look forward to reconvening in 2021.

NoirCon will rise again and provide a forum for sharing new ideas, work, and our collective passion for all things noir.

Much love and gratitude,
Lou Boxer

Books will set us free!

May you all be safe and healthy during this time of Covid-19!
