From the introduction by Jason Y. Ng & Susan Blumberg-Kason:


What will Hong Kong look like in five years, ten years, or thirty years-when the "one country, two systems" promise expires? It's impossible to foresee. Hong Kong's future may not be within our control, but some things are. We can continue to write about our beloved city and work our hardest to preserve it in words. When we asked our contributors to write their noir stories, we didn't give them specific content guidelines other than to make sure their stories end on a dark note. What we received was a brilliant collection of ghost stories, murder mysteries, domestic dramas, cops-and-robbers tales, and historical thrillers that capture Hong Kong in all its dark glory. The result is every bit as eclectic, quirky, and delightful as the city they write about.

Blumberg-Kason, Susan: - SUSAN BLUMBERG-KASON is the author of Good Chinese Wife: A Love Affair with China Gone Wrong. Her writing has also appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books China Blog and China channel, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, Asian Jewish Life, and several Hong Kong anthologies. She received an MPhil in government and public administration from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Blumberg-Kason lives in Chicago and frequently travels to Hong Kong. She is the coeditor of Hong Kong Noir.

Ng, Jason Y.: - JASON Y. NG is the best-selling author of Hong Kong State of Mind, No City for Slow Men, and Umbrellas in Bloom-the first book in English to chronicle the Umbrella Movement of 2014. His short stories have appeared in numerous anthologies. Ng is also an adjunct associate law professor at the University of Hong Kong and president of PEN Hong Kong. He is the coeditor of Hong Kong Noir.
