so interesting! i would say that the method was a weird dark fantasy with a twist ending. i don't thing i like film noir with the "protagonist" being a girl because it became narrow minded and fantasy. The fact that she hooked up with a middle aged man who was scamming on her made the read feel ridiculous. i did not enjoy the read. Through lustful desire a girl was charmed into the bed of a psycho only to find out that he wanted to use her to kill someone else. She ends up killing him instead and proud of it. This was not art or beauty in any way, it was some girlish fantasy bent on betrayal. i would not recommend it to anyone nor would i even bring it up.  I would not bring it up because it did not have anything that you could learn from it or be intrigued by. The next story Morocco Junction 90210 was a simple short story that was interesting and seemed to only relate in the sense that the main characters both trained actors. This story was not thrilling and did not satisfy, but i found it much better to my liking. I guess I would recommend the morocco junction 90210 over the method because the main character plays more of the detective role and is more of the anti-hero. The main character is the anti-hero because she knew truth to murders, robberies and suicides but never told because that was her reputation. To clarify though if I was talking to a friend I really would not recommend either story because I didn’t like either of them. The first one was just ridiculous and the second one was unsettling. Both are indeed noir but they are neo noir to be sure. I personally don’t like most neo noir I’m seen or read and these add to the list.
