Haiti Noir

Finally finished reading Haiti Noir on my Kindle last night. It was appropriately horrifying, full of plot twists, and contained rich cultural and historical material to live up to the 'noir' aspects of short story fiction. One story that particularly stood out to me was the tale of a wealthy girl kidnapped for a ransom because of the surprising and ominous twist. Though some stories were more cliched and less interesting, it was refreshing and often humorous to see the fusion of supernatural phenomena and Haitian folklore with traditional noir elements. All in all, a great and quick read worth your time, edited by Edwidge Danticat.
