Something More Than Night is a 2021 Fantastic Noir novel by Kim Newman.The world contains more dark, strange things than most people care to imagine. Hollywood in the 1930s has more than its share. The bright lights and glitzy facades hide many secrets that oil barons and movie moguls will pay well to keep secret. Eccentric geniuses lurk and monsters roam, behind as well as in front of the cameras.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Private investigator Joh Devlin's day began with a man on fire on the doorstep of one of Hollywood's most exclusive estates, and after that it got weird. Now, money has talked, and all his leads have dried up. Determined to find the truth, he needs a man with a face that can open doors, and he needs a man who understands how mysteries work. Fortunately, he knows just the men.William Henry Pratt, the actor known to his legions of fans as horror star Boris Karloff, is a man who knows darkness only too well; he's seen horrors to match anything in any of his films. Mystery author Raymond Chandler is another. The two men share a secret, the memory of a terrible event of which they were the only two surviving witnesses — at least, the only two surviving human witnesses...

Bookcase Passage: While exploring Home House, Devlin recalls seeing one of Ward Home Junior's horror movies where the villain had a secret passage was opened by pulling out a book on a bookcase. The entrances to the secret passages in Home House, it turns out, are associated with peephole portraits, and opened by pressing a poorly-disguised switch on the portrait. (None of the rooms Devlin visits in Home House have any bookcases, incidentally, and it's possible Junior doesn't own any; he's not the reading type.)

Biography à Clef: Raymond Chandler and Boris Karloff investigate a mystery and encounter supernatural goings-on, including a private eye who's said to be Chandler's model for Philip Marlowe and a sequence of events that's said to be the inspiration for Karloff's horror film The Man They Could Not Hang. There is an afterword in which the author points out the very few details that are real, and reminds the reader that most of it is made up.
