Kansas City Noir

Steve Paul recruits Daniel Woodrell, John Lutz, and others in Kansas City Noir, where naked ambition meets broken dreams, and blues and the night go together like rye whiskey, vermouth, and bitters.

Kingston Noir (Jamaica)

Following in the Caribbean footsteps of Haiti Noir and Trinidad Noir, now come dark stories from Jamaica’s capital city.

Las Vegas Noir

In this chilling portrait of America’s Sin City, lady luck is just as likely to dispense cold hard cash as a cold-hearted killing.

London Noir (England)

Serpent’s Tail novelist Unsworth teases, tickles, and horrifies with her stellar curation of London Noir.

Lone Star Noir

A chilling collection of tales from Texas, a state that, according to coeditor Bobby Byrd, “bleeds noir fiction.”

Long Island Noir

Between these covers, Long Island emerges as a region far more complex and sinister than merely a playground for the rich and famous.

Los Angeles Noir 2: The Classics

The sequel to Los Angeles Noir, an award-winning Los Angeles Times best-seller, this volume explores the history of the noir literary tradition on its home turf.
