Milwaukee Noir.

Praise for
Milwaukee Noir
"Luxuriate in the seedy, wallow in the angry and shiver at the horrors that surely await you around the corner... The sheer localness of
Milwaukee Noir is superb, and the seediness of many characters here would qualify them for membership in a Tom Waits song." -
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A very strong collection of short fiction.... A richly textured collection that is, by turns, gripping, thought provoking, and simply entertaining." -
Booklist
"The violent, dark stories in this anthology fit the bill perfectly with the intention, as editor Hennessy writes, to be social commentary.... Tales by Jane Hamilton and Christi Clancy stand out, evidence that ordinary people can get swept up in hatred, even if they did not start out living with violence, drunkenness, or poverty." -
Library Journal
"Milwaukee bookseller and writer Hennessy does justice to the harsher aspects of his hometown in this fine anthology... The 14 contributors show that violence is not a prerequisite to crafting a haunting depiction of despair... The selections make the different neighborhoods, seedy or otherwise, come to life, even for those who have never set foot in them." -
Publishers Weekly
"Fourteen free-wheeling stories document the grit and glory of Milwaukee... A nod to Milwaukee's blue-collar heritage, a frank look at racial disharmony, and a peek at the future make Hennessy's collection a find for fans of urban noir." -
