L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories by Megan Abbott, Joyce Carol Oates, Lawrence Block, Joe R. Lansdale, Andrew Vachss, Duane Swierczynski, Francine Prose, Jonathan Santlofer
4.0
Prelim Review: My father and I are currently playing the L.A. Noire game, of which this draws its inspiration from. We're Noir fans in general, were excited for the game and I was excited for these short stories from some of crime fiction's leading names.
Well sort of.
The editor's note, from Charles Ardai, really got me thinking. I love Raymond Chandler, I love noir films, but I don't love mysteries per say. Or crime fiction. Its all about the characters and its not often I feel drawn in during mysteries. Just so was it in this collection for me.
