Fiction. The first true noir fiction collection from a city that put film noir on the map. Brand new stories by: Barry Gifford, Robert Mailer Anderson, Michelle Tea, Jim Nisbet, Peter Plate, Kate Braverman, Domenic Stansberry, David Corbett, Eddie Muller, Alejandro Murguria, and others. In this superb collection, virtuosos of the genre meet up with the best of San Francisco's literary fiction community to chart a unique psycho-geography for a dark landscape. From inner-city boroughs like the Tenderloin, North Beach, and the Mission, to the outlands of the Richmond, landscape, historicity and ethnicity are the backdrops as desperation, transgression and madness fuel these tales celebrating San Francisco's criminal heritage.
