The third collective volume of mystery short stories and crime fiction, set in Thessaloniki, once again highlights the mysterious facets and dark narratives of a cosmopolis with an unbroken history and admirable polyphony.
The City Beneath the City encompasses its numerous historical layers, the secrets it holds and carefully keeps within its depths, in an evolving space-time that shapes it. From antiquity to the present, faced with uprisings, conspiracies, murders, and intrigues, injustices that spark popular protests, resistances, and triumphs of individual and collective will, unspeakable crimes of passion, hatred, or blind faith, unfortunate moments.
A legacy for its young citizens, a dark bequest that inspires its writers, The City Beneath the City also addresses its underworld, the people and situations of organized crime, delinquency, a collection of true crime stories that have nothing to envy from the invented plots of mystery authors, but, on the contrary, enrich them.
Historicity and narrativity walk hand in hand, offering the perspective of sketching Thessaloniki through ten narratives. Tough, passionate, terrifying, romantic, and definitely mysterious, the stories of Thessaloniki Noir: The City Beneath the City are set within the urban fabric and in the area that encloses it, walking through the fog of the Thermaic Gulf, on the main streets and the steep alleys of Ano Poli, reaching east and west, from end to end.
"I urge the young authors of the genre, especially the Thessalonians, to draw inspiration, and I wholeheartedly wish you good luck out there on the streets of dangerous Thessaloniki, which you have chosen as the backdrop for your bloody stories. My respects to all." Stefanos Tsitsopoulos
