The Akashic Noir series is one of the longest-running and most geographically ambitious anthology projects in crime fiction. Launched with Brooklyn Noir in 2004, the series has expanded to cover cities on every inhabited continent, from San Francisco to Lagos, from Tokyo to Buenos Aires.
Each volume pairs a city with a roster of crime writers who know it well, producing stories that use the urban landscape as both setting and character. The result is a sprawling map of the world’s darker corners, told through short fiction that ranges from hardboiled to literary to darkly comic.
