In these stories, from Biloxi to Hattiesburg, from Jackson to Oxford, the various crimes of the heart or doomed deeds of fractured households are carried out in real Mississippi locales . . . Are a devilishly wrought introduction to writers with a feel for Mississippi who are pursuing lonely, haunting paths of the imagination. --Associated Press The big city has no lock on misery in these 16 portraits of dark doings in the Deep South. --Kirkus ReviewsMississippi, as Franklin notes in his introduction, has the most corrupt government, the highest rate of various preventable ills, and the highest poverty rate in the country. In short, the state is a natural backdrop for noir fiction. The 16 stories...emerge from a cauldron of sex, race, ignorance, poverty, bigotry, misunderstanding, and sheer misfortune. --Publishers WeeklyMississippi is the perfect setting for the latest volume in Akashic\'s long-running noir series . . . The most memorable pieces take the definition of noir beyond the expected: William Boyle\'s \'Most Things Haven\'t Worked Out\' is reminiscent of the gothic fatalism in Flannery O\'Connor\'s stories, while Michael Kardos\'s \'Digits, \' about a writing teacher whose students come to class with fewer and fewer fingers, veers into Shirley Jackson territory. --Library JournalMaybe it\'s the oppressive heat and humidity, or maybe it\'s the high rates of poverty, crime and corruption that plague this southern state. Whatever the reason, Mississippi is the perfect setting for a good noir story . . . The Noir series] is adept at finding the dark underbelly of cities big and small, but it has produced a unique, delicious flavor of noir fiction with this Mississippi installment. --New York Daily NewsThese chilling stories . . . consistently embody the ideal of noir writing with a strong sense of place . . . These pages drip with Mississippi humidity. Fans of classic noir will be pleased and rooted in this redolent setting. --Shelf Awareness for ReadersAkashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir.
