Library Journal, Sept. 15, 2005 "Dust off those black-and-white TVs. The success of Akashic Books' Brooklyn Noir anthology has spawned a series of successors . . . [All are] geographically focused and contain original stories by emerging writers . . . David Corbett's 'It Can Happen' delivers a tightly plotted story of family inheritance that would fit neatly into the pages of Black Mask. Reflecting changing conditions, multicultural authors are well represented here, and female writers leave their mark. Kate Braverman's wittily observed tale of the love/hate relationship between two Sex and the City types is topped only by Michelle Tea's story of a prostitute who just can't say enough about her Bernal Heights hideaway. Eddie Muller shows off his noir bona fides in a pitch-perfect story of a long day that ends on a lucky note."
7x7 Magazine, September 2005 "Take an intermission from your Hitchcock marathon, and turn instead to the 15 stories between the covers of San Francisco Noir for the SF-based suspense you crave. Luring you deep into the criminal heritage of your own backyard, each piece in the collection transcends the traditional elements of noir and helps redefine the moody genre. Set in shadowy locations throughout the city, the inclusions range from Michelle Tea's Bernal Heights spine-tingler, 'Larry's Place,' to Barry Gifford's Bayview tale, 'After Hours at La Chinita,' to Robert Mailer Anderson's Richmond District thriller, 'Briley Boy' . . . Haunting and often surprisingly poignant, these accounts of death, love and all things pulp fiction will lead you into unexpected corners of a city known to steal people's hearts -- as well as into the unexplored realms of the human condition."
