Like Lansdale, who you also mentioned, I thought about
mentioning Gorman, but his work is so varied -- and, in
Gorman's case, so nostlagiac and often melancholy -- that I
wasn't sure he particularly qualified as generally-speaking
hard-boiled, at least not to the point where one could point
to him without specifying which title of his to read if one's
solely interested in "hardboiled." Having said that, I agree
that both are fine and often very dark writers, among my very
favorites...and would recommend either without
hesitation.
For Lansdale, try FREEZER BURN, or THE BOTTOM for a more
literary noir. For Gorman, try BLACK RIVER FALLS or THE POKER
CLUB.
