About the book
Brand-new stories by: Neal Pollack, Achy Obejas, Alexai Galaviz-Budziszewski, Adam Langer, Joe Meno, Peter Orner, Kevin Guilfoile, Bayo Ojikutu, Jeff Allen, Claire Zulkey, Andrew Ervin, M.K. Meyers, Todd Dills, Daniel Buckman, and others.The City of Chicago has spent much time and money over the last decade marketing itself as a tourist-friendly place for the whole family . . . But, the hard-bitten streets once represented by James Farrell and Nelson Algren are not gone; they may have shifted locales, and they may be populated by different ethnicities, but Chicago is still a place where people struggle to survive and where, for many, crime is the only means for their survival.Chicago Noir is populated by hired killers and jazzmen, drunks and dreamers, corrupt cops and ticket scalpers and junkies. It's the Chicago that the Department of Tourism doesn't want you to see . . .
