Vancouver Noir
by Sam Wiebe
This is my favorite of all of the NOIR anthologies from Akashic I've read so far. Pretty much 98% of the book was fantastic.
Only one or two of the stories were skimmable and that's pretty good to me.
First story by Linda L. Richards seized on right off the bat. Supremely outstanding. Actually the introduction was the grabber. It invited the reader to go beyond what is shown in the television and movies that are filmed in what looks to be an idyllic setting. Grime and grit, homelessness, poverty, hanging by the skin of the teeth, crime. The book will set the story straight.
Sheena Kamal's story was fab, in particular the setup of each section, How to Give a Speech....perfection.
Robin Spano's story is sneakily intriguing.
Nathan Ripley's story reminded me of my favorite Parker Posey movie, Party Girl.
Kristi Charish's is a superbly edgy police procedural.
Don English has two voices to tell his tale, as does R. M. Greenway's story. Fantastic the both.
I highly enjoyed S. G. Wong's spooky story.
I can definitely recommend this particularly outstanding anthology.
