Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Brand-new stories by: Muge Iplikci, Behcet Celik, Ismail Guzelsoy,

Surrounded by two seas, split by the Bosphorus Strait, and pierced by
the Golden Horn, Istanbul stretches between Europe and Asia. A city at once
ancient and modern, it is the quintessentially postcard-perfect metropolis. But
don't let the alluring vistas fool you: For beneath its veneer as the meeting
place of cultures, religions, and ethnicities, lies a heart of darkness,
seething with suppressed desire, boiling with frustration, and burning with a
fervor for vengeance. If there is a city with its own unique brew of noir,
Istanbul is it.
From the pitch-black and the ephemeral to the realistic and the
surreal, from the open-hearted and the fanatic to the malicious and sadistic,
from the butcher out for meat to the lamb who wants to live, these stories rip
away the enchanting facade to reveal the shadowy side of Istanbul's soul.
Comprised of entirely new stories by some of Turkey's most exciting
authors--some still up-and-coming, others well-established and critically
acclaimed in their homeland, as well as by a couple of "outsiders" temporarily
held hostage in the city's vice--Istanbul Noir introduces a whole new
breed of talent. As you succumb to the wiles of the city's storytellers,
however, be warned--their narrators are notoriously unreliable, and their
readers, even more so.
Mustafa Ziyalan was born in Zonguldak, on the Black Sea coast of
Turkey. He worked as a general practitioner and coroner in a rural Anatolian
village, and now lives and practices psychiatry in Brooklyn, NY. His poetry,
short fiction, and essays have appeared in many literary periodicals,
anthologies, and in book form. He is the author of the poetry book Kizil
Kanca Siirleri, Yakilacak Kentlerden, a collection of travel writing and
essays, and Su Kedileri, a collection of short fiction. Amy
Spangler, a native of small town Ohio, first landed in Turkey as a high
school exchange student in 1994-95. She continued to foster her ties with the
country and her keen interest in its literature throughout her college years,
promptly moving to Istanbul upon graduation in 1999. She still lives in the
elusive and amorphous Istanbul, where she works as translator, agent, and
editor. She is the translator of Asli Erdogans novel, The City in Crimson
Cloak, and coowner of AnatoliaLit Literary and Copyright Agency
(www.anatolialit.com).

There are two kinds of people on the island -- those who leave at summer's end...and those who are left behind.
Kendra and Mona are best friends, local girls who spend their summers catering to rich tourists and the rest of the year chafing against small-town life. Then Mona's mom marries one of the island's rich summer visitors, and Mona joins the world of the Boston elite, leaving Kendra and Martha's Vineyard behind. When Mona returns the following summer, everything is different. Now Mona spends her days sunbathing with her private-school friends, while Kendra works at The Willow Inn -- a job she and Mona once hoped to do together.
Unlike his sister, Mona's twin brother Henry hasn't changed. He's spending his summer the way he always has: with long, quiet hours fishing. Early mornings before work become special for Kendra as she starts sharing them with Henry, hoping he can help her figure Mona out. Then Kendra hatches a plan to prove she's Mona's one true friend. She'll uncover the identity of the twins' birth father, a question that has always obsessed Mona. And so she sets out to unravel the seventeen-year-old mystery of the summer boy who charmed Mona's mother. But are some secrets better off staying buried? Views: 233
