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

This was a free Kindle book and I picked it up because I've always liked noire. The stories are pretty fantastic, have killer tone and frankly the collection made me want to pick up the game. Well done, Rockstar! The reason I gave it four stars is because Joyce Carol Oates' contribution was a bit Oatesian for my taste and (for me) the only off note in the book.
