Fiction. Mystery. Edited by novelist and former editor of Bizarre magazine Cathi Unsworth, LONDON NOIR shocks and awes with a host of brand-new stories from Patrick McCabe, Ken Bruen, Sylvie Simmons, Desmond Barry, Barry Adamson, Joolz Denby, Stewart Home and many others. These stories bring the fog-shrouded home city of the definitive detective up to date with unmatched intensity and incisive social commentary. The fact "that London has survived so long comes down to its foundation in the root of all evil...this is not really a collection of crime stories. This a compass for the reader to chart their own path through the dark streets of London, to take whatever part chimes most closely with their soul and use it as a talisman"--Cathi Unsworth.
