NEW FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION STORIES WITH A HARDBOILED NOIR TWIST–FOCUSING ON THE MEAN STREETS OF THE CITY
“Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.” –Raymond Chandler Humans have always been fascinated by darkness. Especially the darkness of a city at night, when the black sky is made ever more inky by the pools of illumination dropped under streetlights. We harken to the sound of streetcars in the distance. We are drawn to the garish flash of club signs and marquees. We love the danger of shadowed alleyways, of wealth and poverty living side by side. We love the city. It’s a part of us. Whether the mean streets be in an alternate past charmed with dark magic or the dirty alleyways of futuristic crowded space stations, the city–and its darkened streets–will always fascinate us. Here then, an anthology of all new stories of science fiction and fantasy with a hardboiled noir twist that acknowledge that the city is a living, breathing entity…and it isn’t always on our side.
