Mississippi Noir
Mississippi Noir | Ace Atkins, Jimmy Cajoleas, RaShell R. Smith-Spears
8 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
This anthology of Mississippi crime fiction has produced a unique, delicious flavor of noir with stories by Ace Atkins, Megan Abott and more (New York Daily News). From poverty to state corruption, Mississippi has a well-deserved reputation for trouble. Could there be a connection between its many misfortunes and its rich literary legacy? Mississippians from Tennessee Williams and Eudora Welty to Richard Ford and John Grisham certainly know how to tell a good story. Now Mississippi Noir offers a devilishly wrought introduction to a new generation of writers with a feel for Mississippi who are pursuing lonely, haunting paths of the imagination (Associated Press). Mississippi Noir includes brand-new stories by Ace Atkins, William Boyle, Megan Abbott, Jack Pendarvis, Dominiqua Dickey, Michael Kardos, Jamie Paige, Jimmy Cajoleas, Chris Offutt, Michael Farris Smith, Andrew Paul, Lee Durkee, Robert Busby, John M. Floyd, RaShell R. Smith-Spears, and Mary Miller.

16 great stories. Very angsty stories. Perfect for the short story lover.

I was pretty good with today's #bookhaul - I almost got twice as many. I've been eagerly anticipating Mississippi Noir (new Megan Abbott story what!) and my dad is a big fan of the Quarry series. I read a piece on LitHub about Eve Babitz, who seems to be in the Jackie Susann mold of "no Fs to give," that sold me, too! Plus, these are short and sweet for Labor Day!

marixa Those look great! Also, I love your pens 😊 9y
brendanmleonard @marixa thanks! Those are my go-tos, I have more in a mug! 😂 9y
ApoptyGina69 The Eve Babitz is on my list also! 9y

Every. Single. Story. Was. Fantastic. And now I have a batch of new writers to follow. Across the board great read for lovers of noir and dark, creepy stuff.

Any Mississippi Book Festival author coordinator worth her salt has to read EVERY featured author of the 150, right? (It's like looking directly at the sun, if the sun had unicorns with mermaid hair orbiting it like Jupiter's moons.)
