The Akashic Noir series is one of the longest-running anthology programs in crime fiction. Published by Akashic Books, each volume gathers original noir stories set in a particular city, edited by a local author or crime fiction figure. The series has grown to cover cities across every continent, with each collection offering a street-level view of its chosen location through the lens of noir fiction.
James Grady has contributed to volumes within the Akashic Noir series, adding his voice to collections alongside dozens of other crime and literary fiction writers. The series itself is a publisher project with well over a hundred volumes, reflecting Akashic Books’ commitment to location-specific crime fiction rather than the work of any single author.
