Brooklyn publisher Akashic Books has been showcasing the darker side of cities with their noir series since 2004. Now, it’s Atlanta’s turn.

Fourteen Atlanta writers have contributed to “Atlanta Noir,” an anthology of short stories set in the neighborhoods or suburbs of the writer’s choice.

“City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with two of the contributors, Daniel Black, whose story is set in Mechanicsville, and Jennifer Harlow, whose story is set in Peachtree City. Several writers will be reading their stories and discussing the anthology tonight at 7:30 at Charis Books.
