Buffalo Noir

Joyce Carol Oates, Lawrence Block and others present original stories from the dark side of New York's second largest city in this instalment of Akashic's Noir series. Akashic Books continues its ground-breaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir (also available). Each story is set in a distinct neighbourhood or location within the city of the book. Anyone who has spent more than a few days in Buffalo will tell you that this city can spar with any other major American metropolis in the noir arena. Welcome to the City of No Illusions.
