Another above average collection of bleak, black or, in other words, noir tales. These stories capture the sensibilities, or lack thereof, of Brooklyn.
I keep reading this series thinking it's going to get better, but the editors need to chose better stories. The content is very uneven
The Peter Hamill and Tim McLoughlin stories were good, but the rest are unremarkable. The worst was Hasidic Noir because it's not authentic. It's like the author had heard about this culture, but never been there. Jewish men never use a mikvah....ever.
