Down These Mean Streets …

Posted 5 March, 2008 in Book News |

Akashicbooks, the press that brought you Brooklyn Noir, Chicago Noir, Detroit Noir, and Havana Noir, among other hard-boiled anthologies is back with the forthcoming … Toronto Noir?!?

Maybe it’s because I’ve lived here all my life, but I’ve never really considered Toronto that much of a noirish city. I mean, we’ve got our sketchy neighbourhoods, any big city does, but Detroit, we ain’t. However, the new anthology has a terrific lineup of writers, including Ibi Kaslik, Peter Robinson, Sean Dixon, Nathan Sellyn, Andrew Pyper, R. M. Vaughan, and Heather Birrell. Yes, Heather Birrell. It’s so wacky it just might work.

I look forward to reading this when it hits stores in May.
