The Akashic Noir series is one of the longest-running crime fiction anthology projects in publishing. Starting with San Francisco Noir in 2002, the series has grown to over 120 volumes, each focused on a different city or region. Local writers contribute original noir stories set in the featured location, giving readers a ground-level view of crime fiction traditions from around the world.
The geographic range is vast, covering major American cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles alongside international locations including Istanbul, Lagos, Nairobi, and Buenos Aires. Some cities have received multiple volumes, with Brooklyn Noir spawning two sequels. The series continues to add new locations, with recent entries covering Sacramento and Hamburg. For readers interested in noir fiction or in how different places shape crime narratives, this is an enormous and varied resource.
