What is Lone Star Noir about?

“Sure to be of regional interest and to appeal to fans of noir or 'dark' fiction, this spicy black brew of sinister thrills is not for the squeamish or the easily offended.” -- Library Journal “Unsettling and shivery.” -- Kirkus Reviews “Crime, like politics, is local. The folks at Akashic Books understand this . . . “Lone Star Noir” is a solid collection. Heck, it better be — the state's red clay looks like dried blood. Noir grows out of the ground here.” -- Austin American-Statesman “What makes Texas noir different from any other noir? Is it just that the gumshoes wear cowboy boots? … Akashic Books finally turns its attention to the biggest state in the Lower 48, but all that land just means more places to bury the bodies. As father-son editing partnership Bobby and Johnny Byrd observe in their introduction, this isn't J.R. Ewing's Lone Star State. This is the Texas of chicken shit bingo, Enron scamsters, and a feeling that what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico. […] So what defines Texas noir? Who knows, but you better pray that blood doesn't stain your belt buckle.” -- Austin Chronicle Includes brand-new stories by: James Crumley, Joe R. Lansdale, Claudia Smith, Ito Romo, L
