What is Lone Star Noir about?

From Publishers Weekly Divided into three sections (Gulf Coast, Back Roads, and Big City), Akashic's Texas noir volume offers mostly unknown names among its 14 contributors. Highlights include Joe R. Lansdale's darkly hilarious ''Six-Finger Jack,'' in which a greedy Texan tries to earn ,000 for killing a crook with more than the usual number of digits; James Crumley's sardonically funny ''Luck,'' in which obnoxious twins push a killer over the edge; and Dean James's ''Bottomed Out,'' about one man's twisted fight to keep his job. Solid reads by lesser known talents include Sarah Cortez's poignant Houston story, ''Montgomery Clift''; Jessica Power's gripping ''Preacher's Kid''; and Bobby Byrd's bone-chilling El Paso ode, ''The Dead Man's Wife,'' more horror than noir. Some will wonder why the editors missed genre writers known for their Texas settings such as Sandra Brown, Jon Land, Jan Grape, Scott Cupp, Bill Crider, Laurie Moore, Nic Pizzolatto, and Lewis Shiner.
