The making of Peeping Tom (1960) began with an irresistible enticement. Director Michael Powell sat down with writer and World War II cryptographer Leo Marks to discuss a possible collaboration.

One of Megan Abbott’s early gems, this book dragged me down into the muck of midcentury noir, and I LOVED IT.

This book feels both modern and like a throwback, with women in the driver’s seat for once.
