The Akashic Noir series is one of the longest-running anthology projects in crime fiction. Published by Akashic Books, each volume focuses on a specific city or region and collects original short stories from local and international authors. The series started with San Francisco Noir in 2002 and has since covered over 120 locations across the globe, from Brooklyn to Baghdad to Buenos Aires.
Each anthology is edited by a different guest editor with ties to the featured location, and the stories range from classic detective fiction to literary noir to psychological crime. The series has expanded to include “Classics” editions that reprint landmark crime stories associated with certain cities. Whether you want to read about Denver, Lagos, or Tokyo, there is probably an Akashic Noir volume for it.
