A Century of Noir: Thirty-two Classic Crime Stories

Edited by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins.

Published 2002.

ISBN-10: 0451205960

ISBN-13: 978-0451205964

Anthology of short stories.

Description:

Bleak streets and bleaker futures. Trapped heroes and desperate shreds of hope. Wicked women and broken dreams. Urban whirlpools and inexorable fates. Call it noir. Call it pulp. Call it black – and blue. It’s a tradition – tough, reckless, and uncompromising – born from the fierce imaginations of a century of writers with a unique talent for creating shadows out of words and turning raw emotion into pure poetry.

And this is noir at its incomparable best – thirty-two of the finest crime stories of the twentieth century, personally chosen by Shamus Award winner Max Allan Collins and Mickey Spillane, one of the true masters of hard-boiled fiction.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell ‘em I ain’t coming back
Burn the land, boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
You can’t take the sky from me
