Staten Island may be New York Cityâs forgotten borough, but it ranks high up on the list of places known for organized crime. If that wasnât enough to boost its noir reputation, there are its haunted mansion, hate crimes, and Cropsey urban legend. Dark deeds will always find a home on this side of the Verrazano bridge, and they give Staten Island a character all its own.
Staten Island Noir includes editor Patricia Smithâs Robert L. Fish Memorial Awardâwinning short story, âWhen They Are Done with Us,â which was also selected for inclusion in The Best American Mystery Stories 2013. Youâll find more tales by Bill Loehfelm, S.J. Rozan, Ted Anthony, Todd Craig, Ashley Dawson, Bruce DeSilva, Louisa Ermelino, Binnie Kirshenbaum, Michael Largo, Mike Penncavage, Linda Nieves-Powell, Shay Youngblood, and Eddie Joyce.
âItâs not enough for noir to be dark. Itâs got to be bad-ass. Its words, its decaying and horrible beauty have got to hit you like a spiked heel dragged from your guts to your gullet. Itâs got to twist the hot knife of passion in that soft space right below your belly while pumping bullets into your heart. Itâs got to make you bleed . . . Staten Island Noir features some dusky and drop-dead gorgeous gems (emphasis on the dead) that do just that.â âGrub Street Daily
â[An] exceptionally strong anthology.â âPublishers Weekly, starred review
