review 1: It's kinda cool to recongnize nearly all the places the stories in this collection take place, and so many of them mentioned the Pittsburgh Steelers, if you ever lived in South Western Pennsylvania or any Rust Belt City you would know how big a deal Football is,but most these stories were average at best, and some weren't even noir one was a about a young women that picks up random dudes at bars, while wearing wedding ring, even though she isn't married, just for the thrill how is that noir? Authors Terrance Hayes and K.C. Constantine were real stand outs and got it right in so many ways.
review 2: While I could appreciate much of the good writing, I was not really in the mood for these types of stories. They were too dark - tales of murder, sexual and drug ab... moreuse. I guess that is what I should have expected from "Pittsburgh Noir." I did enjoy the references to local places, though no stories were set in my areas - the South Hills and the West End. Some of the dialogue could have come from the mouths of people I know. less
