ASK ANY RESIDENT OF NEW YORK CITY to name the five boroughs and they'll rattle off four with no problem whatsoever, hesitating and scrunching their countenance before Staten Island occurs to them'if, indeed, it occurs to them at all. To them, it's that tiny claustrophobic place where everybody knows everybody else's business and the breezes that blast through drape everything in the stink of landfill. It's dim and industrial, populated by swaggering Jersey Shore wannabes and residents who spend most of their time aspiring to be elsewhere. The "forgotten borough," is not only routinely forgotten'it's misunderstood, mocked, dismissed, maligned, ridiculed, belittled, and scorned. While this probably causes the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce no end of frustration, it makes the island the perfect haven for mayhem, mischief, and murder. If people can't even remember that the place exists, what better haven for noir' What better place to stash a stiff' THESE STORIES--FROM B-BOYS AND SI NATIVES to Edgar Award-winners'bring Staten Island front and center as a borough that's bellowing and boisterous and insisting on identity. Staten Island may be the last New York borough to be represented in the Noir Series, but that's only because no one knows it. This introduction will be intriguing, addictive, and not totally comfortable.

"Staten Island, the last of New York City's five boroughs to enter Akashic's noir series, severs as the setting for this exceptionally strong anthology." ? Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Smith's introduction is a revelation. She knows the Island I have in my head. It was like finding a literary sibling, separated since birth." ? Washington Independent "It's not enough for noir to be dark. It's got to be bad-ass. Its words, its decaying and horrible beauty have got to hit you like a spiked heel dragged from your guts to your gullet. It's got to twist the hot knife of passion in that soft space right below your belly while pumping bullets into your heart. It's got to make you bleed. Akashic Books' latest in their noir series, Staten Island Noir features some dusky and drop-dead gorgeous gems (emphasis on the dead) that do just that." ? Grub Street Daily "Staten Island is the forgotten borough, lacking a subway system, left out of Jay-Z's songs, known for organized crime, bad accents, fake tans, and garbage?which makes it a rich setting for Akashic's noir series...In a thrilling tilt-a-whirl of crime and drama, editor Patricia Smith has carefully chosen writers concerned with the true nature of the small suburban borough." ? Electric Literature's "The Outlet" "Each story in this enjoyable collection has its own charms, if the words 'enjoyable' or 'charms' can be used with these dark tales, and each can stand-alone. However, if, like me, you had always looked at Staten Island as banal and benign, by the book's end your ideas will be forever changed." ? ReviewingTheEvidence.com Patricia Smith, editor of Staten Island Noir , has won the Robert L. Fish Memorial Award for her short story included in the anthology, ?When They Are Done with Us." “In a thrilling tilt-a-whirl of crime and drama... Smith has carefully chosen writers concerned with the true nature of the small suburban borough.” —Electric Literature Staten Island may be New York City's forgotten borough, but it ranks high up on the list of places known for organized crime. If that wasn't enough to boost its noir reputation, there are its haunted mansion, hate crimes, and Cropsey urban legend. Dark deeds will always find a home on this side of the Verrazano bridge, and they give Staten Island a character all its own. Staten Island Noir includes editor Patricia Smith's Robert L. Fish Memorial Award–winning short story, “When They Are Done with Us,” which was also selected for inclusion in The Best American Mystery Stories 2013. You'll find more tales by Bill Loehfelm, S.J. Rozan, Ted Anthony, Todd Craig, Ashley Dawson, Bruce DeSilva, Louisa Ermelino, Binnie Kirshenbaum, Michael Largo, Mike Penncavage, Linda Nieves-Powell, Shay Youngblood, and Eddie Joyce. “It's not enough for noir to be dark.
