I believe the answer is:

scandi noir

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'as in nordic novel?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'as in nordic novel?' is the wordplay.
'novel?' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in a new or novel order).
'as'+'in'+'nordic'='asinnordic'
'asinnordic' anagrammed gives 'SCANDI NOIR'.

Can you help me to learn more?
