Gray's story \"The Queen of Secrets\" won the Robert L. Fish Memorial Award!John Crowley's story \"Spring Break\" won the 2018 Edgar Award for Best Short Story!\"In an Ivy League town, Bloom turns Yale's motto--Lux et Veritas--on its head, finding darkness and deceit in every corner of New Haven...The stories Bloom chooses share a strong sense of place, detailing the quirks that make every corner of New Haven distinctive. But it's the lucid writing and clear, compelling storylines that make her dark tales shine. Maybe she offers a noir version of Light and Truth after all.\"--Kirkus Reviews\"Town-gown tensions highlight several of the 15 stories in this stellar Akashic noir anthology set in the Elm City...This [volume] is particularly strong on established authors, many of whom have impressive credentials outside the genre.\"--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review\"[It's] a kick to see Elm City haunts and issues weaved into short stories of intrigue by writers who know the turf.\"--New Haven Register\"Fifteen writers, many from Connecticut, including Bloom, have contributed stories to the book. Some stories are classic film noir-style, in which an unscrupulous woman leads a desirous man to his own destruction. Some tell stories of criminal youths meeting someone they underestimated, undermining their cocky street-smarts. Other stories tell of Yalies whose sophisticated exteriors hide a seething hunger for recognition. A few stories go full-on eerie, such as the shy catalog artist who is not the person he seems to be, and the unseen man in Room 11 of the Duncan Hotel, whose daily activities are a mystery to the hotel staff. Town vs. gown tensions pop up in several stories, as do dark narratives reflecting the city's history of racial tensions.\"--Hartford Courant\"Fifteen of New Haven's literary lights have put ink to paper (or bytes to screen?) to summon that 'noir' city of the imagination that lurks just below the rapidly gentrifying surface.\"--New Haven IndependentAkashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir.

Gray, and Hirsh Sawhney.From the introduction by Amy Bloom:New Haven may be a noir town but, even though noir usually manages not to, we have heart. The chance to bring together some of my favorite writers, in my adopted hometown (in every place I bartended, the cook or the manager carried a .38 in his waistband, and I can still make ten kinds of boilermakers), was a joy and a privilege. Every single story is a noir gem...If you are an optimist, noir may be an antidot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eIdioma: Inglés\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnvío: Desde EE.
