Tonight, 9pm, Channel 4, the first of three film adaptations of David Peace's incredible Red Riding Quartet (yes, three films, although there were four novels). A review of the four original novels is being constructed as we speak. The four novels are absolutely incredible, if emotionally exhausting to read, and the films should deservedly find them a whole new readership. The next two films will be shown over the next two weeks on Thursday at 9pm.
In the meantime, the official channel 4 website is at www.redriding.channel4.com and the trailer is embedded below:

Crime Scene Scotland was, for five years, a home for noir short stories, commentary and other nasty pieces of work.
Now the emphasis is on reviews, interviews and a celebration of the darker aspects of crime fiction.
Run by Russel D McLean (with a little help along the way from various sources) Crime Scene Scotland provides honest, intelligent reviews, probing interviews with authors new and old and commentary on the changing world of crime fiction.
If you have anything you would like to say on noir fiction, direct reviews and articles towards crimescenescotland@yahoo.co.uk for the attention of Russel and put CRIME SCENE SCOTLAND in the header.
