Montana Noir (anthology)

“Long shadows over Big Sky country... What could be a more unlikely breeding ground for noir fiction than Montana, whose wide-open landscapes seem the polar opposite of the mean streets of Los Angeles?... Caroline Patterson, Janet Skeslien Charles, and Debra Magpie Earling round out a surprisingly distinct and distinctive set of evocations of different Montana localities that make this collection, like a successful package tour, greater than the sum of its parts.”
—Kirkus

“Two stories resonated long after reading them: “Fireweed” by Janet Skeslien Charles about a stranger mysteriously murdered in a small town where everyone becomes a suspect; and “Trailer Trash” by Gwen Florio about two writing friends who compete with one another.”
—New York Journal of Books
