Noir City
Posted in Books on October 29th, 2008 by William Speruzzi
Lately I’ve had the attention span of a gnat. Could be that I haven’t had a full night of unbroken sleep in, I don’t know, 200 days now. But I wanted to read something that would stir the pot so to speak so I picked up a couple of books in the Akashic noir series. Don’t know about it? What card carrying crime freak doesn’t know about the Akashic Books noir series? It’s a collection of noir short stories that take place in what seems like just about every city in the world. Starting out humbly with Brooklyn Noir the series has 26 titles with an additional 14 more cities on the way. The writing is excellent and if this is your bag you might want to pick up your chosen city or cities.
