The Akashic Noir anthology series is one of the most extensive short fiction publishing projects in crime writing. With over 120 volumes published since 2002, each book gathers noir fiction set in a specific city or region, from Brooklyn Noir and London Noir to Lagos Noir and Baghdad Noir. The series gives readers a tour of the world’s dark side through the eyes of local and international crime writers.
The anthologies are edited collections that bring together established and emerging writers, each contributing a story set in a particular neighborhood or district of the featured city. The result is both a crime fiction anthology and a kind of literary geography, mapping the gritty underside of cities across six continents. The series continues to expand, with recent additions including Sacramento Noir and Hamburg Noir in 2025.
