The Akashic Noir series is one of the longest-running anthology projects in crime fiction. Published by Akashic Books, each volume focuses on a single city and collects original noir short stories from authors connected to that place. John Burdett is among the many contributors and editors across the series, which has grown to cover well over 100 cities on every inhabited continent.
The series began with Brooklyn Noir in 2004 and has since expanded to include cities from San Francisco to São Paulo, Delhi to Denver. Each anthology features local writers who know their city’s streets, neighborhoods, and dark corners. The result is a global map of noir fiction, with each volume offering a different perspective on crime and place.
