I personally only use neo-noir in reference to movies, i.e.
movies that carry on the stylistic concerns of film noir or
are strongly influenced by film noir and were made after
approx. 1960. Outside of Woody's book I don't think I've seen
neo-noir used to describe books rather than movie - so I'm
afraid I'm not that much help there.
