A review by noturstroganoff
Oakland Noir by Eddie Muller, Jerry Thompson

The Wishing Well - Kim Addonizio - poet writes chaotic relationship noir, really captures the feel of those old Victorian houses

Divine Singularity - Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder - gentrification revenge murder, queer relationship in shambles, premise is kinda funny but also the murder was intense :(

White Horse - Katie Gilmartin - a story of a bar raid by our local legend & queer historian

A Town Made of Hustle - Dorothy Lazard - an account of cop-politician collusion-corruption, from the perspective of an illegal alcohol dealer who spies on the city DA. All written in that engaging noir style. It surprised me!

Bulletproof - Carolyn Alexander - extremely well written story, the standout erotica-noir of the stories.
