"Offbeat, disturbing, and sometimes darkly comical" crime stories set in upstate New York by Joyce Carol Oates, Lawrence Block, S.J. Rozan, and more (
Kirkus Reviews).
Buffalo is still the second-largest metropolis in New York State, but in recent years its designation as the Queen City has been elbowed aside by a name that's pure noir:
The City of No Illusions. Presidents came from here-and in 1901 while visiting the Pan-American Exposition, a president was killed here by a man who checked into a hotel under a name that translates as
Nobody.
As Buffalo saw its prosperity wane, those on the outside could only see harsh winters and Rust Belt grit, chicken wings, and sports teams that came agonizingly close. This collection of crime stories is both a treasure for mystery fans and an atmospheric tour of this moody, gritty city.
Featuring brand-new stories by Joyce Carol Oates, Lawrence Block, Ed Park, Gary Earl Ross, Kim Chinquee, Christina Milletti, Tom Fontana, Dimitri Anastasopoulos, Lissa Marie Redmond, S.J. Rozan, John Wray, Brooke Costello, and Connie Porter.
"From the Irish enclave of South Buffalo and a Niagara Street bar to a costly house in Nottingham Terrace and a once-grand Gothic structure in Elmwood Village, Buffalo's past and present come to life... by authors who really know their city." -
Kirkus Reviews
"Contributors include several mystery heavyweights.... Those curious about the criminal side of the second-biggest city in New York will be rewarded." -
Publishers Weekly
"Each story represents a different neighborhood and cross-section of the city, and the resulting collection feels like a vivid, comprehensive tour of a distinctive place, administered by locals. There's nothing quite like noir to shine a light, after all." -
Los Angeles Review of Books
"Original short stories by established local authors with flawless credentials... .Together, the stories cover cityscapes well-known to Buffalonians-to name a few, Elmwood Avenue, Niagara Street, Black Rock, North Park, Delaware Park, and Allentown. Local landmarks Peace Bridge and the Anchor Bar made it in there, too." -
Examiner
"Superb." -
