The Akashic Noir series is a massive anthology project spanning over 120 volumes, each dedicated to a specific city. Brooklyn Noir launched the series in 2004, and it has since covered cities across every continent — from Miami and Chicago to Lagos, Baghdad, Tehran, and Nairobi. Each volume features original crime stories by authors with connections to the featured city, edited by a local writer or expert.
The series creates an extraordinary global portrait of crime fiction, showing how noir adapts to different cultures, histories, and urban landscapes. Hall’s involvement as an editor and contributor places him at the center of one of the most ambitious short fiction projects in contemporary publishing.
