“Poetic Justice” is film historian and writer Thomas Reeder’s first work of fiction that harkens back to the glory days of hard-boiled detective stories. Reeder grew up outside Philadelphia, glued to the TV watching late night B movies, Shock Theater and any silent film that would occasionally surface. A lifelong love of all things cinematic led to a BFA in Film at New York’s School of Visual Arts, and an MA in Cinema Studies at New York University. Reeder has written numerous articles for film and genealogical periodicals, as well as a biography of film producer Ben Pivar, “STOP YELLIN’,” published in 2011. His biography of silent comedy pioneer Henry “Pathé” Lehrman is scheduled for publication in 2016. Reeder currently resides in Hopewell with his family.
