Publishers Weekly
"A collection of stories celebrating the underbelly of the city, its ghosts, and the characters that give Memphis its rich patina of blues."
Memphis Flyer, Event feature
"Memphis Noir, edited by Laureen P. Cantwell and Leonard Gill, captures the subtlety of the Memphis ethos, where blacks and whites, rich and poor, are intimately entwined. The collection--fifteen stories by some of the city's finest writers--bleeds the blues and calls down the dark powers that permeate this capital of the Delta."
