“<i>High Life</i> is perhaps the greatest neglected masterpiece of true noir. I’ve never read anything like this, nor do I expect to.”—Ken Bruen, author of <i>The Guards</i> “Stokoe’s in-your-face prose and raw, unnerving scenes give way to a skillfully plotted tale that will keep readers glued to the page.”—<i>Publishers Weekly</i> With a new introduction by Dennis Cooper, <i>High Life</i> shows Matthew Stokoe to be a worthy heir to the great tradition of California noir. <i>High Life</i> is an unholy hybrid of Raymond Chandler’s best work and Bret Easton Ellis’ <i>American Psycho</i>. <b>Matthew Stokoe</b> was born in England and is currently living in the Southern Hemisphere. His acclaimed first novel, <i>Cows</i>, was published by Creation Books in 1999.
