The Akashic Noir series is one of the most extensive anthology projects in crime fiction, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir and continuing with well over a hundred city-specific volumes. Each book collects original short stories from authors with ties to the featured city, and every story is set in a particular neighborhood within that city. The result is a global map of noir fiction that covers everywhere from San Francisco to East Jerusalem to Hamburg.
Libby Fischer Hellmann is among the many contributing authors across the series. The anthologies have featured work from both established crime fiction writers and newer voices. The Akashic Noir books have been credited with broadening the geographic scope of noir fiction and introducing readers to cities and neighborhoods they might not otherwise encounter in the genre.
