Pittsburgh Noir (Akashic Noir)
Despite Pittsburgh being labeled the country's most livable city, the fictional citizens populating the 14 high quality stories in Akashic's noir anthology centered on the Steel City have the same dreams, frustrations, passions, and vices as anyone else. --Publishers Weekly"Pittsburgh hasn't inspired many crime novelists to use its haunts for settings in the way that Boston, Baltimore, Seattle and even Cleveland have. Now that's changed with the publication of 'Pittsburgh Noir,' an anthology of short stories by writers who draw on the cityscape to ground their tales."   --Pittsburgh Post GazettePittsburgh Noir [is] a set of varied and novel approaches to dark fiction that give a taste of a specific place in Pittsburgh, without trying too hard to pander or take advantage of ages-old Pittsburgh media tropes.  --Pittsburgh City Paper
