Akashic Books has published more than one hundred books in its City Noir collection. They focus on cities all over the world in every continent except Antarctica: the neighborhoods, the people, the economic changes. Each volume contains short stories and poems from known writers from each of the cities. Their latest edition, CLEVELAND NOIR, features Cleveland, Ohio, some of its suburbs. Each of the fifteen chapters takes place in a different neighborhood, identified on a map in the beginning of the book. Some are loosely based on actual events that occurred at that location and each involves a murder committed there. One chapter in CLEVELAND NOIR is about baseball and talks about Big Ed Delahanty who fell or was pushed off a train over Niagara Falls in 1903. It compares him with Cleveland player Ray Chapman who died from a pitch to his head by a New York pitcher in 1920. Fifty years later, the Yankees had won twenty world series titles, the Cleveland team, two. Was that pitch deliberate? Another features a man who talks to dead girls as he tries to learn the circumstances of their unsolved deaths. Beverly Potts, who was ten years old when she disappeared in 1951, is one of the girls. Some chapters discuss racism against Native Americans and Blacks and economic differences in the city. Some of the killers are psychopaths. Others are manipulated into murdering someone.. All the stories are well-written by professional writers, mostly based on their own experiences or events they knew. They have different writing styles and focus points but all end in deaths, sometimes by or of the main character. The murders are not gruesomely described. CLEVELAND NOIR provides a different perspective from which to view the city.

Cleveland Noir edited by Michael Ruhlman and Miesha Wilson Headen is Akashic Books latest addition to their award-winning Noir series. This series, with over 100 titles, began in 2004 with the publication of Brooklyn Noir. The series is comprised of original Noir anthologies representing countries, regions, and cities from all over the world - from Brooklyn to Cleveland to Nairobi to Sydney to Montana. The series is fascinating and encompasses all that is Noir - a genre of crime fiction characterized by cynicism, fatalism and moral ambiguity. There are ‘hard-boiled’ and cynical characters in bleak and sleazy settings. It has been described as “Whiskey. Neat.” Each anthology has the same format (which I love). It enables easy and familiar navigation. There is a dark, sepia-toned cover. A map (Love the map). A very complete Table of Contents. An Introduction by the editor(s) sets the tone of the country, state, city or area where the stories take place. Acknowledgements. About the Contributors. And, of course, the stories themselves. The Introduction says “Cleveland is a working-class town, though its great institutions were founded by 20th century robber barons and magnates.” “It’s this mix of of the wealthy and working class that makes the city a perfect backdrop for lawlessness.” What always impresses me about this series is the writing of the contributing authors. Cleveland Noir is no exception. I don’t have a favorite. All the stories are good in certain ways. An overriding emotion for me is sadness and hopelessness.The following authors contributed stories to Cleveland Noir. J.D. Belcher - Jill Bialosky - Sam Conrad - Angela Crook - Alex DiFrancesco - Mary Grimm - Miesha Wilson Headen - Paula McLain - Dana McSwain - Susan Petrone - D.M. Pulley - Michael Ruhlman - Daniel Stashower - Thrity Umrigar - Abby L. Vandiver Excellent Title. Excellent Series. Excellent Reading. ****
